functions 4
LOGO! provides you with various elements in programming mode, and organizes them in the
following lists:
● Connector list (Connector) (Page 115)
● ↓GF: List of the basic functions AND, OR, ... (Page 120)
● ↓SF: List of the special functions (Page 131)
● List of reusable blocks configured in the circuit program
LOGO! 0BA8 can additionally provide you with the following elements in programming mode,
if you have previously configured them in your circuit program using LOGO!Soft Comfort:
● UDF: List of user-defined function blocks configured in the circuit program
● L: A Data Log function block configured in the circuit program
List contents
All lists show the elements available in LOGO!. Usually, this includes all connectors, basic
functions, and special functions.
LOGO! does not show all elements if:
● You cannot add additional blocks.
This occurs wthen the memory space is insufficient or when you have reached the
maximum number of blocks.
● A specific block's memory space requirement (Page 109) would exceed the space
available in LOGO!.
● You have created program elements in LOGO!Soft Comfort but have not downloaded the
program to LOGO!.
4.1 Constants and connectors

Constants and connectors represent inputs, outputs, flags, constants, and network digital
and analog inputs/outputs.
LOGO!

LOGO! functions
Inputs
● Digital inputs
Digital inputs begin with the letter I. The number of the digital inputs (I1, I2, ...)
corresponds to the number of the input connectors of the LOGO! Base Module and of the
connected digital modules, in the order of their installation. You can use the fast digital
inputs I3, I4, I5, and I6 of the LOGO! versions LOGO! 12/24 RCE, LOGO! 12/24 RCEo,
LOGO! 24 CE and LOGO! 24 CEo as fast counters.
Note
To avoid that the LOGO! Base Module fails to read input signals because its built-in MCU
(Microcontroller Unit) is too sensitive and runs much faster than those in previous LOGO!
devices, an on-/off-delay function is designed for LOGO!:
• For LOGO! 230RCE and LOGO! 230RCEo, a 25 ms on-delay time and a 20 ms off-
delay time are defined for digital inputs I1 to I8.
• For all the other LOGO! versions, a 5 ms on-delay time and a 5 ms off-delay time are
defined for all the digital inputs.
Besides, when the LOGO! Base Module is in slave mode, a 5 ms on-delay time and a
100 ms signal-retentive-time are defined for all the digital inputs.
● Analog inputs
The LOGO! versions LOGO! 24 CE, LOGO! 24 CEo, LOGO! 12/24 RCE and LOGO
12/24 RCEo have the inputs I1, I2, I7 and I8, which you can also program for use as AI3,
AI4, AI1 and AI2 inputs. As described in topic "Setting the number of AIs in LOGO!
(Page 266)", you can configure these modules to use either two analog inputs (AI1 and
AI2), or all four. LOGO! interprets signals at the I1, I2, I7 and I8 inputs as digital values,
and those at the AI3, AI4, AI1 and AI2 inputs as analog values. Note that AI3
corresponds to I1 and AI4 corresponds to I2. This numbering preserves the previous
correspondence of AI1 to I7 and AI2 to I8 that was available with the 0BA5 series. LOGO!
numbers the inputs of a connected analog module according to the already existing
analog inputs. See topic "Maximum setup with expansion modules (Page 29)" for
example setups. In programming mode, when you select the input signal of a special
function that takes an analog input, LOGO! offers the analog inputs AI1 to AI8, analog
flags AM1 to AM64, analog outputs AQ1 to AQ8, and the block numbers of functions with
analog outputs.

LOGO! functions
Outputs
● Digital outputs
Digital outputs begin with the letter Q. The output numbers (Q1, Q2, ... Q20) correspond
with the numbers of the output connectors at the LOGO! Base Module and with those of
the expansion modules, in their order of installation.
LOGO! 0BA8 also provides 64 blank outputs and identifies them with the letter x. You
cannot reuse the blank outputs in a circuit program. The blank outputs differ from flags,
for example, which you can reuse. A blank output, for example, is useful for the special
function "Message texts" (Page 200), if only the message text is of significance to a circuit
program.
● Analog outputs
Analog outputs begin with the letters AQ. Eight analog outputs are available, namely
AQ1, AQ2,... AQ8. You can only connect an analog output with the analog input of a
function, an analog flag AM or an analog output connector.
The following figure shows an example LOGO! configuration and the numbering of the
inputs and outputs for the circuit program.
Note
LOGO! 0BA8 supports the graphical display of the analog value changes in the form of a
trend curve on the onboard display. You can easily monitor each analog I/O in use by means
of the trend curves when LOGO! is in RUN mode. For more information on how to view the
trend curve, refer to "Viewing the analog changes (Page 78)".
Flag blocks
The letters M or AM identify flag blocks. These are virtual outputs, which output the value of
their inputs. LOGO! 0BA8 provides 64 digital flags M1 to M64 and 64 analog flags AM1 to
AM64.
LOGO!

LOGO! functions
Startup flag M8
LOGO! sets flag M8 in the first cycle of the circuit program. You can thus use it as a startup
flag in your circuit program. LOGO! resets M8 at the end of the first cycle.
You can use the M8 flag in all further cycles for setting, deletion and evaluation procedures
in the same way as other flags.
Backlight flags M25, M26, M28 to M31

The following flags control the backlight colors of the LOGO! onboard display or the LOGO!
TDE:
Backlight display Flag Remarks

White M25 The color white means LOGO!
is in RUN mode.
M26 The color white means LOGO!
TDE is in RUN mode.
Amber M28 The color amber means LOGO!
is in programming mode or
parameter assignment mode.
M30 The color amber means LOGO!
TDE is in programming mode,
parameter assignment mode or
TDE setting mode.
Red M29 The color red means LOGO!
has a diagnosis error.
M31 The color red means LOGO!
TDE has a diagnostics error.
Note: The backlight lifetime of the LOGO! TDE is 20,000 hours.
Message text character set flag M27

The M27 flag selects between the two character sets that LOGO! uses to display message
texts. State 0 corresponds to Character Set 1, and state 1 corresponds to Character Set 2. If
M27=0 (low), LOGO! only displays message texts configured for Character Set 1; If M27=1
(high), LOGO! only displays message texts configured for Character Set 2. If you do not
include M27 in the circuit program, message texts display in the character set that you
selected from either LOGO!Soft Comfort or a LOGO! device.
Note
• The output of the flag always carries the signal of the previous program cycle. This value
does not change within the same program cycle.
• You can read or write flags from the network. If you have not added any special flags in
the diagram, but written them from the network, they can still work except M27. So if you
want to control character sets by M27, you must add it in the diagram first, and you can
connect M27 to NI blocks to control it from the network.

LOGO! functions
Shift register bits

LOGO! provides read-only shift register bits S1.1 to S4.8. Only the "Shift register"
(Page 211) special function can modify shift register bit values.
Cursor keys
Up to four cursor keys are available to you, namely C , C , C and C ("C" = "Cursor").
Cursor keys are programmed for the circuit program in the same way as other inputs. You
can program cursor keys in the corresponding display while the system is in RUN
(Page 78) , and in an active message text (ESC + Key). Cursor keys can save switches and
inputs, and allow operator control of the circuit program. Cursor key inputs from the
LOGO! TDE are identical to cursor key inputs from the LOGO! Base Module.
LOGO! TDE function keys

The LOGO! TDE has four function keys, F1, F2, F3, and F4, which you can use in your
circuit program. You program these keys in the same way as other inputs. Like the cursor
keys, you can press these keys when LOGO! is in RUN mode to affect the behavior of the
circuit program, and to save switches and inputs.
Levels
Voltage levels are designated hi and lo. A constant "1" = hi or "0" = lo status at the block can
be set by means of a permanent voltage level or constant value hi or lo.
Open connectors
LOGO! uses the letter x to indicate unused block connectors.
Network inputs/outputs (available only if configured from LOGO!Soft Comfort)

You can configure the following network inputs/outputs only from LOGO!Soft Comfort. If the
circuit program in LOGO! contains a network digital/analog I/O, you can not edit any of the
rest of the circuit program except for the Par parameter. To edit the rest of the program, you
must upload the program to LOGO!Soft Comfort and then edit from LOGO!Soft Comfort.
1) Network digital inputs

The letters NI identify a network digital input. There are 64 digital network digital inputs NI1
to NI64 available for configuration in the circuit program from LOGO!Soft Comfort.
2) Network analog inputs

The letters NAI identify a network analog input. There are 32 network analog inputs NAI1 to
NAI32 available for configuration in the circuit program from LOGO!Soft Comfort.

3) Network digital outputs

The letters NQ identify a network digital output . There are 64 network digital outputs NQ1 to
NQ64 available for configuration in the circuit program from LOGO!Soft Comfort.
4) Network analog outputs

The letters NAQ identify a network analog output. There are 16 network analog outputs
NAQ1 to NAQ16 available for configuration in the circuit program from LOGO!Soft Comfort.

Basic functions represent simple logical elements of Boolean algebra.
You can invert the inputs of individual basic functions, that is, the circuit program inverts a
logical "1" at a relevant input to a logical "0"; if "0" is the value at the input, the program sets
a logical "1". See the programming example at Circuit program input (Page 69).
The GF list contains the basic function blocks you can use for your circuit program. The
following basic functions are available:

4.3 Special functions

Because of their different input designation, you can see right away that there is a difference
between the special functions and basic functions. Special functions (SFs) contain timer
functions, retentive functions and various parameter assignment options, which allow you to
adapt the circuit program to suit your own requirements.
This section provides you with a brief overview of input designations and with some
particular background information on SFs (Page 131).
4.3.1 Designation of the inputs
Logical inputs
The following connectors enable you to create a logical link to other blocks or to the inputs of
the LOGO! unit:
● S (Set):
A signal at input S sets the output to logical "1".
● R (Reset):
The reset input R takes priority over all other inputs and resets the outputs.
● Trg (Trigger):
This input triggers the start of a function.
● Cnt (Count):
This input counts pulses.
● Fre (Frequency):
LOGO! applies frequency signals to be evaluated to this input.
● Dir (Direction):
This input determines the direction, + or -.
● En (Enable):
This input enables a block function. When this input is "0", the block ignores all other
signals.
● Inv (Invert):
A signal at this input inverts the output signal of the block.
● Ral (Reset all):
A signal at this input resets all internal values.
● Lap (for the stopwatch function)
A signal at this input pauses the stopwatch.
Note
Unused logical inputs of special functions default to logical "0".
LOGO!
Manual, 06/2014, A5E33039675 127
LOGO! functions
Connector X at SF inputs
The connector "x" input for any SF input is low. That is, the input carries a "lo" signal.
Parameter inputs
At some of the inputs you do not apply any signals. You configure the relevant block values
instead. Examples:
● Par (Parameter):
You do no connect the Par parameter. Instead, you set the relevant blcok parameters
(times, on/off thresholds etc.).
● Priority:
This is an open input. Here, you define priorities and specify whether a message is to be
acknowledged in RUN.
4.3.2 Time response
Parameter T
You can configure a time value T for some of the SF blocks. When you preset this time, note
that your input values are based on the timebase set:
Timebase __:__
s (seconds) seconds : 1/100 seconds
m (minutes) minutes : seconds
h (hours) hours : minutes
The LOGO! 0BA8-specific stopwatch (Page 171) function provides an additional timebase -
10 ms.
Accuracy of T
Because of slight tolerances in the characteristics of electronic components, the set time T
can deviate. You can find a detailed description of such deviations in the "On-delay" topic
(Page 136).
Accuracy of the timer (weekly/yearly timer)

To prevent timing inaccuracy of the real-time clock in C versions (LOGO! devices with an
integrated real-time clock) caused by this deviation, LOGO! continuously compares the timer
LOGO!
128 Manual, 06/2014, A5E33039675
LOGO! functions
value to a high-precision timebase and makes continual corrections. The resultant maximum
timing inaccuracy is ±2 s/day.
4.3.3 Backup of the real-time clock

Because LOGO! backs up the internal real-time clock, it continues operation after a power
failure. The surrounding temperature influences the backup time. At a surrounding
temperature of 25°C, the typical backup time of a LOGO! 0BA8 is 20 days.
If there is a power outage of a LOGO! for more than 20 days, on restarting, the internal clock
is back in the status that it was in before the power outage.
4.3.4 Retentivity
You can set the switching states, counter and time values of many SF blocks (Page 131) to
be retentive. This means that LOGO! retains current data values after a power failure, and
that the block resumes operation at the break point. The timer is not reset, but resumes
operation until the time-to-go has expired.
To enable this response, however, the relevant functions must be set retentive. Two options
are available:
R: The data is retentive.
/: Current data is not retentive (default). See the section in topic "Second circuit program
(Page 82)" on enabling and disabling retentivity.
The hours counter, weekly timer, yearly timer and PI controller are always retentive.
4.3.5 Parameter protection

In the parameter protection settings, you can determine whether or not you display and edit
the parameters in LOGO! parameter assignment mode. Two options are available:
+: The parameter attribute permits read/write access in parameter assignment mode
(default).
-: The parameter settings are read–/write–protected in parameter assignment mode, and you
can only edit them in programming mode. See the parameter protection mode example in
the Second circuit program (Page 82).
Note
Parameter protection covers only the "Set Parameter" window. If you embed variables of
protected special functions in a message text, the variables are still editable from the
message text. To protect these variables, you must also activate the protection of the
message text.

LOGO! functions
4.3.6 Calculating the gain and offset of analog values

A sensor is connected to the analog input and converts a process variable into an electrical
signal. This value of signal lies within the typical range of this sensor.
LOGO! always converts the electrical signals at the analog input into digital values from 0 to
1000.
LOGO! internally transforms a voltage of 0 V to 10 V at input AI to a range of values from 0
to 1000. LOGO! interprets an input voltage exceeding 10 V as internal value 1000.
Because you cannot always process the range of values from 0 to 1000 as predetermined by
LOGO!, you can multiply the digital values by a gain factor and then shift the zero of the
range of values (offset). This allows you to output an analog value to the LOGO! onboard
display that is proportional to the actual process variable.
Parameter Minimum Maximum

Input voltage (in V) 0 ≥ 10
Internal value 0 1000
Gain -10.00 +10.00
Offset -10000 +10000
Mathematical rule
Actual value Ax =
(internal value at input Ax • gain) + offset
Gain and offset calculation

LOGO! calculates the gain and offset based on the relevant high and low values of the
function.
Example 1:
The available thermocouples have the following technical data: -30 °C to +70 °C, 0 to 10
VDC (that is, 0 to 1000 in LOGO!).
Actual value = (internal value • gain) + offset, thus
-30 = (0 • A) + B, that is, offset B = -30
+70 = (1000 • A) -30, that is, gain A = 0.1
Example 2:
A pressure sensor converts a pressure of 1000 mbar into a voltage of 0 V, and a pressure of
5000 mbar into a voltage of 10 V.
Actual value = (internal value • gain) + offset, thus
1000 = (0 • A) + B, that is, offset B = 1000
5000 = (1000 • A) +1000, that is, gain A = 4

topic.

When you create your circuit program in LOGO!, you find the special function blocks in the
SF list.
You can invert the inputs of SFs individually, that is, the circuit program converts a logical "1"
at the input into a logical "0"; a logical "0" it converts into a logical "1". See the programming
example in topic "Circuit program input (Page 69)".
The table also specifies whether the relevant function can be set retentive (Rem). The

4.4.11 Weekly timer
Short description
The weekly timer controls an output by means of a configurable on/off date. The function
supports any combination of weekdays. You select the active weekdays by hiding the
inactive days.
Note
Because LOGO! 24/24o does not have a real-time clock, the weekly timer function is not
available.

Cam parameters At the Cam parameters, you set the on- and off-times of the
1, 2 and 3 weekly timer for each Cam switch. Here you also configure
the days and the time-of-day.
You can also specify whether the timer pulses on for one
cycle when activated and then reset. The pulse setting
applies to all three cams.
Output Q LOGO! sets Q when actuating the configured cam.
Timing diagram (three examples)
Each weekly timer has three cams for you to configure a time hysteresis. You specify the on-
and off-times at the Cam parameters. The weekly timer sets the output at a certain on-time;
if you have not set it, the weekly timer resets the output at a certain off-time if you configure
an off-time, or at the end of the cycle if you specify a pulse output.
You will cause a conflict if you set overlapping on- and off-times; the earliest on- and off-
times take priority. Here is an example:

Example 8: Yearly mode on, Monthly mode on, On Time = 2008-**-01, Off Time = 2010-**-
05: starting in 2008, on the first day of each month the timer output switches on and switches
off on the fifth day of the month. The timer continues in this pattern through the last month of
2010.

The yearly timer sets and resets the output at specific on and off dates. Sets and resets are
executed at 00:00. If your application requires a different time, use a weekly timer together
with a yearly timer in your circuit program.
The on time specifies when the timer is activated. The off time specifies when the output is
reset again. For the on and off times, note the order of the fields: The first field defines the
year, the second the month and the third the day.
If you set the Monthly mode on, the timer output switches on each month at the specified day
of the on time and remains on until the specified day of the off time. The on time specifies
the initial year in which the timer is activated. The off time defines the last year in which the
timer turns off. The maximum year is 2099.
If you set the Yearly mode on, the timer output switches on each year at the specified month
and day of the on time and remains on until the specified month and day of the off time. The
on time specifies the initial year in which the timer is activated. The off time defines the last
year in which the timer turns off. The maximum year is 2099.
If you set Pulse output, the timer output switches on at the specified on time for one cycle
and then the timer output is reset. You can choose to pulse a timer on a monthly or yearly
basis, or just a single time.
If you set none of the Monthly, Yearly, or Pulse modes on, you can define a specific time
period with the on time and off time. It can span any time period that you choose.
For a process action that is to be switched on and off at multiple but irregular times during
the year, you can define multiple yearly timers with the outputs connected by an OR function
block.
Backup of the real-time clock

The internal real-time clock of LOGO! is buffered against power failure. The buffering time is
influenced by the surrounding temperature, and is typically 80 hours at a surrounding
temperature of 25°C.

for automatic summertime/wintertime conversion, and the current time of the module.

Parameter You specify the longitude, altitude, time zone, sunrise
time offset and sunset time offset:
Longitude:
Direction settings:
EAST or WEST
Range of values:
0 ° to 180 ° (degrees)
0 ' to 59 ' (minutes)
0 " to 59 " (seconds)
Latitude:

En = 1 and Lap = 0: Using the selected timebase, the stopwatch outputs the current time
(CurT) to AQ.
En = 1 and Lap = 1: The stopwatch leaves AQ at its last value when Lap = 0. This value is
recorded as LapT for stopwatch pause time.
En = 0 and Lap = 1: The stopwatch pauses counting time. It outputs LapT to AQ.
En = 0 and Lap = 0: The stopwatch outputs the current time (CurT) to AQ.
A signal at R sets the AQ value to 0.

4.4.15 Up/down counter
Short description
An input pulse increments or decrements an internal value, depending on the parameter
setting. The output is set or reset when a configured threshold is reached. The direction of
count can be changed with a signal at input Dir.

Input R A signal at input R resets the internal count value to
zero.
Input Cnt The function counts the 0 to 1 transitions at input Cnt.
1 to 0 transitions are not counted.
You can use the following as the input:
• inputs I3, I4, I5, and I6 for fast counting (only
LOGO! 12/24RCE/RCEo and LOGO!
24CE/24CEo): max. 5 kHz, if the fast input is
directly connected to the up/down counter
function block
• any other input or circuit component for counting
low frequency signals (typically 4 Hz)
Input Dir You set the direction of count at input Dir:
Dir = 0: Count up
Dir = 1: Count down
Parameter On: on threshold
Range of values:
0...999999
Off: off threshold
Range of values:
0...999999
StartVal: initial value from which to begin counting
either down or up.
Retentivity for internal counter value Cnt:
/ = No retentivity
Output Q Q is set or reset, depending on the current value at
Cnt and the set thresholds.
Parameters On and Off

The actual value of another already-programmed function can provide the on threshold On
and the off threshold Off. You can use the actual values of the following functions:
LOGO!

● Up/down counter (actual value Cnt)
Select the required function by the block number.
Timing diagram
The internal counter increments (Dir = 0) or decrements (Dir = 1) by one count with every
positive edge at input Cnt.
You can use input R to reset the internal count value to the start value. As long as R = 1, the
output is also 0 and the pulses at input Cnt are not counted.
If retentivity is not set, output Q and the expired time are reset after a power failure.
Q is set or reset depending on the current value at Cnt and the set thresholds. See the
calculation rule below.
LOGO!
174 Manual, 06/2014, A5E33039675
LOGO! functions
Calculation rule
● If the On threshold ≥ Off threshold, then:
Q = 1, if Cnt ≥ On
Q = 0, if Cnt < Off
● If the On threshold < Off threshold, then Q = 1, if On ≤ Cnt < Off.
Note
The system scans the counter limit value cyclically.
Thus, if the pulse frequency at the fast digital inputs I3, I4, I5 or I6 is faster than the cycle
time, the special function might not switch until after the specified limit value is exceeded.
Example: Up to 100 pulses per cycle can be counted; 900 pulses have been counted so
far. On = 950; Off = 10000. The output is set in the next cycle, after the value has
reached 1000. (The output would not be set at all if the value Off = 980).
If the referenced block (B021, in the example) returns a value that lies out of the valid range,
the value is rounded to the next valid value.

4.4.16 Hours counter
Short description
A configured time is triggered with a signal at the monitoring input. The output is set when
this time has expired.

Input R A positive edge (0 to 1 transition) at input R resets
output Q and sets a configured value MI at the
counter for the duration of the time-to-go (MN).
Input En En is the monitoring input. LOGO! scans the on-time
of this input.
Input Ral A positive edge at input Ral (Reset all) resets the
hours counter (OT) and the output, and sets the time-
to-go value (MN) to the maintenance interval MI:
• Output Q = 0
• Measured operating time OT = 0
• Time-to-go of the maintenance interval MN = MI.
Parameter MI: Maintenance interval to be preset in units of hours
and minutes
Range of values:
0000 h to 9999 h, 0 m to 59 m
OT: the accumulated total operating time (you can
specify an offset in hours and minute)
Range of values:
00000 h to 99999 h, 0 m to 59 m
Q → 0 occurs depending on the following conditions:
• When "R" is selected:
Q = 1, if MN = 0;
Q = 0, if R = 1 or Ral = 1
• When "R+En" is selected:
Q = 1, if MN = 0;
Q = 0, if R = 1 or Ral = 1 or En = 0.
Output Q The output is set when the time-to-go MN = 0 (see
timing diagram).
The output is reset under the following conditions:
• When "Q→0:R+En", if
R = 1 or Ral = 1 or En = 0
• When "Q→0:R", if R = 1 or Ral = 1.
Note
MI, MN and OT are always retentive.

Timing diagram
The hours counter monitors input En. When En = 1, LOGO! computes the time expired and
the time-to-go MN. LOGO! shows these times in parameter assignment mode. Output Q is
set when the time-to-go MN = 0.
A signal at reset input R resets output Q and sets the preset value of MI at the counter for
the duration of MN. The hours counter OT is not affected.
With a signal at the reset input Ral, you reset output Q and set the preset value of MI at the
counter for the duration of MN. The hours counter OT is reset to zero.
Depending on your configuration of parameter Q, the output is either reset with a signal at
input R or Ral ("Q→0:R"), or when a reset signal is set hi, or the En signal is set lo
("Q→0:R+En").
Viewing the MI, MN and OT values

● LOGO! Basic: You can open the parameter assignment mode when the system is in RUN
to view the actual values of MI, MN and OT.
● LOGO! Pure: In LOGO!Soft Comfort, you can use the Online Test to read these values.
For further information, see chapter "LOGO! software (Page 283)".
● In LOGO!Soft Comfort you can get the hours counter via the "Tools -> Transfer: Hours
counter" menu command.
Limit value of OT
The value of the operating hours in OT is retained when you reset the hours counter with a
signal at input R. The hours counter OT will be reset to zero with a transition from 0 to 1 at
LOGO!
178 Manual, 06/2014, A5E33039675
LOGO! functions
Ral. It continues the count as long as En = 1, irrespective of the status at the reset input R.
The counter limit of OT is 99999 h. The hours counter stops when it reaches this value.
In programming mode, you can set the initial value of OT. MN is calculated according to the
following formula when reset input R is never enabled: MN = MI - (OT % MI). The % operator
provides an integer division remainder.
Example:
MI = 30h, OT = 100h
MN = 30 - (100 % 30)
MN = 30 -10
MN = 20h
In runtime mode, the value OT can not be preset. If the value for MI is changed, there would
be no calculation for the MN. MN would take on the value of MI.

View in programming mode:
MI is the configurable time interval. The permissible range of values is 0 to 9999 hours.

Reducing the input response of the analog comparator

You can selectively delay the output of an analog comparator by means of the "On-delay"
and "Off-delay" special functions. With on-delay, output Q is only set if the pulse width of the
triggering signal at input Trg (=analog comparator output) is longer than the on-delay time.
Using this method, you will obtain a virtual hysteresis and reduce the input response to short

This value is multiplied by the value of the A (gain) parameter, and parameter B (offset) is
then added to the product: (Ax • gain) + offset = actual value Ax.
The actual value Ax is output at AQ.

Analog output
If you interconnect this special function with a real analog output, note that the analog output
can only process values between 0 and 1000. To do this, you may need to connect an
additional amplifier between the analog output of the special function and the real analog
output. Using this amplifier, you standardize the output range of the special function to a
value range of 0 to 1000.
Scaling an analog input value

You can influence the analog input value of a potentiometer by interconnecting an analog
input with an analog amplifier and an analog flag.
● Scale the analog value at the analog amplifier for further use.
● Connect, for example, the time base for parameter T of a time function (e.g. On-/Off-delay
(Page 142)) or the on and/or off limit specification of an up/down counter (Page 173) to
the scaled analog value.

4.4.25 Message texts
Short description
With the message text function block, you can configure a message that includes text and
other parameters for LOGO! to display in RUN mode.
You can configure simple message texts from the LOGO! onboard display. LOGO!Soft
Comfort provides an extended set of features for message texts: bar graph representation of
data, names for digital I/O states and more. Refer to the LOGO!Soft Comfort documentation
for information on these features.
Global message text settings

You configure global parameters that apply to all message texts on the programming menu:
● Analog time: refresh rate in milliseconds that specifies how frequently analog inputs in
message texts are updated
● Tick time: frequency at which message texts scroll on and off the display
There are two ways that a message text can tick on and off the screen: line by line, or
character by character, which are described in more detail below. A line of a text
message, or each character of a text message in turn will tick on and off the
LOGO! onboard display based on the tick time. For a message that ticks line by line, the
actual tick time is ten times the configured tick time. For messages that tick character by
character, the actual tick time is the configured tick time.
● Current character set: which character set is selected for the display of message texts.
Options Set1 and Set2 can be any of the supported character sets forLOGO!:
Character set in Common Supported Internet reference

LOGO! name languages
ISO8859-1 Latin-1 English, German, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1

GB-2312 Chinese Chinese http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GB2312
Shift-JIS Japanese Japanese http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift-jis
Of the 50 possible message texts that you can configure, you can select any number of them
to be from the first language and any number from the second language. For example, you
could configure 50 message text function blocks that have a single message text for
Character Set 1. Alternatively, you could configure twenty-five message text function blocks,
each of which has two message texts: one for Character Set 1 and one for Character Set 2.
Any combination is valid such that the total does not exceed 50.
Within a single message text, the text must be from one character set. You can edit
message texts in any of the supported character sets from LOGO!Soft Comfort. From
LOGO! Basic, you can only edit text using characters from the ISO8859-1 character set.
LOGO!
200 Manual, 06/2014, A5E33039675
LOGO! functions
The language and therefore character set of a message text is independent of the language
setting for menus on the LOGO! onboard display. They can be different.
Chinese character set

LOGO! Basic and the LOGO! TDE support the Chinese character set (GB-2312) for the
People's Republic of China. The devices use Microsoft Windows encoding for this character
set. The Windows encoding allows the devices to display the same characters as shown in
the LOGO!Soft Comfort message text editor when you are using a Chinese emulator or a
Chinese version of Microsoft Windows.
The Chinese character set requires a Chinese version of Windows or a Chinese emulator to
properly display Chinese characters in the LOGO!Soft Comfort message text editor. You
must start the Chinese emulator before you open the the message text function block in
LOGO!Soft Comfort.

Restriction
A maximum of 50 message text blocks are available.
When LOGO! is in RUN mode, LOGO! displays the message text that you have configured
along with its parameter values upon a 0 to 1 transition of the signal at input En.
Based on your setting for the message destination, the message text displays on the
LOGO! onboard display, the LOGO! TDE, or both.
If you use flag M27 in your circuit program, then if M27=0 (low) then LOGO! displays the
message text only if it is from the primary character set (Character Set 1). If M27=1 (high),
then LOGO! displays the message text only if it is from the secondary character set
(Character Set 2). (See the M27 flag description in topic Constants and connectors
(Page 115)).

202 Manual, 06/2014, A5E33039675
LOGO! functions
If you have configured message ticking, the message will tick on and off the display
according to your specifications, either a character at a time, or a line at a time.
If acknowledgment is disabled (Ack = No), the message text is hidden when the status of the
signal at input En changes from 1 to 0.
If acknowledgment is enabled (Ack = Yes) and the status of the signal at input En changes
from 1 to 0, the message text is output until it is acknowledged with OK. When En = 1, you
cannot acknowledge the message text.
When multiple message text functions are triggered with En=1, LOGO! displays the message
text with the highest priority (0 = lowest, 127 = highest). This also means that LOGO!
displays a newly activated message text only if its priority is higher than that of previously
activated message texts.
After a message text is disabled or acknowledged, the function automatically shows the
previously active message text that takes the highest priority.
You can press the and keys to step through multiple active message texts.

Messages that tick character by character scroll off the characters of the message line one
character at a time to the left with the additional characters scrolling in one at a time from the
right. The time interval for the tick is specified by the TickTime message text setting.
Messages that tick line by line scroll one half of the message off the display to the left with
the second half of the message scrolling in from the right. The time interval for the tick is ten
times the TickTime parameter. The two halves of the message simply alternate on the
LOGO! onboard display or LOGO! TDE.
Example: tick message character by character

The following illustration shows a one-line, 24-character message text:
If you set this message to tick "character by character" with a tick interval of 0.1 seconds,
then the initial appearance of this message line on the LOGO! onboard display or

Short description
You can use the shift register function to read the value of an input and to shift its bits left or
right. The output value corresponds with the configured shift register bit. The shifting
direction can be changed at a special input.

Input In Input read at the start of the function.
Input Trg A positive edge (0 to 1 transition) at input Trg
(Trigger) starts the special function. 1 to 0 transitions
are irrelevant.
Input Dir The signal at input Dir determines the shifting
direction for the shift register bits Sx.1 to Sx.8. "x"
refers to the configured shift register byte index 1, 2,
3, or 4.
Dir = 0: shift up
(Sx.1>>Sx.8)
Dir = 1: shift down
(Sx.8>>Sx.1)
Parameter Shift register bit that determines the value at output
Q.
Possible settings:
Byte index: 1 to 4
Q: S1 to S8
LOGO! provides a maximum of 32 shift register bits,
with eight bits per shift register.
Retentivity:
/ = no retentivity
Output Q The output value corresponds with the configured
shift register bit.
The function reads the value at input In with a positive edge (0 to 1 transition) at input Trg
(Trigger).
This value is applied to shift register bit Sx.1 or Sx.8 depending on the shifting direction,
where "x" refers to the index number of the shift register and the number after the decimal
point refers to the bit number:
● Shift up: the value at input In is set at Sx.1; the previous value at Sx.1 is shifted to Sx.2;
the previous value at Sx.2 is shifted to Sx.3 etc.
● Shift down: the value at input In is set at Sx.8; the previous value at Sx.8 is shifted to
Sx.7; the previous value at Sx.7 is shifted to Sx.6 etc.
Output Q returns the value of the configured shift register bit.

4.4.29 Analog ramp
Short description
This function allows the output to be changed from the current level to the selected level at a
specified rate.

Input En A change in the status from 0 to 1 at input En
(Enable) applies the start/stop level (Offset "B" +
StSp) to the output for 100 ms and starts the ramp
operation to the selected level.
A change in the status from 1 to 0 immediately sets
the current level to Offset "B", which makes output
AQ equal to 0.
Input Sel SeI = 0: level 1 is selected.
SeI = 1: level 2 is selected.
A change in status of Sel causes the current level to
start changing to the selected level at the specified
rate.
Input St A change in the status from 0 to 1 at input St
(Decelerated Stop) causes the current level to
decrease at a constant rate until the start/stop level
(Offset "B" + StSp) is reached. The start/stop level is
maintained for 100 ms and then the current level is
set to Offset "B", which makes output AQ equal to 0.

LOGO! functions
If the input En is set, then the function sets the current level to StSp + Offset "B" for 100 ms.
Then, depending on the connection of Sel, the function runs from the level StSp + Offset "B"
to either level 1 or level 2 at the acceleration set in Rate.
If the input St is set, the function runs to a level of StSp + Offset "B" at the acceleration set in
Rate. Then the function holds the level at StSp + Offset "B" for 100 ms. After 100 ms, the
level is set to Offset "B". The scaled value (output AQ) is 0.
If the input St is set, the function can only be restarted after the inputs St and En have been
reset.
If input Sel has been changed, depending on the connection of Sel, the function runs from
the current target level to the new target level at the rate that is specified.
If the input En is reset, the function immediately sets the current level to Offset "B".
The current level is updated every 100 ms. Note the following relationship between output
AQ and the current level:
Output AQ = (current level - Offset "B" ) / Gain "A"

Parameters SP and Mq
The set-value SP and the value for Mq can be provided by another already-programmed
function. You can use the actual values of the following functions:
● PI controller (actual value AQ)
Parameters KC, TI
Please note the following circumstances:
● If parameter KC has value 0, the "P" function (proportional control) will not be executed.
● If parameter TI has value 99:59 m, the "I" function (integral-action control) will not be
executed.

Applies only to the PV, SP, Min and Max values displayed in a message text.

LOGO! functions
Timing diagram
The nature, manner and speed with which the AQ changes depend on the parameters KC
and TI. Thus, the course of AQ in the diagram is merely an example. A control action is
continuous; therefore the diagram portrays just an extract.
1. A disturbance causes the PV to drop, as Dir is positioned upwards, AQ increases until PV

corresponds again to SP.
2. A disturbance causes the PV to drop, as Dir is positioned downwards, AQ decreases until
PV corresponds again to SP.
It is not possible to change the direction (Dir) at runtime of the function. The change is
shown here for illustrative purposes only.
3. As AQ is set to 0 by means of the input R, PV changes. This is based on the fact that PV
increases, which on account of Dir = upwards causes AQ to drop.
If the input A/M is set to 0, then the special function issues output AQ with the value that you
set with parameter Mq.
If the input A/M is set to 1, then automatic mode commences. As an integral sum the value
Mq is adopted, the controller function begins the calculations.
Note
For further information on the controller basics, please refer to the Online Help for
LOGO!Soft Comfort.
The updated value PV is used to calculate in the formulas:

Updated value PV = (PV • gain) + offset
LOGO!
222 Manual, 06/2014, A5E33039675
LOGO! functions
● If the updated value PV = SP, then the special function does not change the value of AQ.
● Dir = upwards (+) (timing diagram numbers 1. and 3.)
– If the updated value PV > SP, then the special function reduces the value of AQ.
– If the updated value PV < SP, then the special function increases the value of AQ.
● Dir = downwards (-) (timing diagram number 2.)
– If the updated value PV > SP, then the special function increases the value of AQ.
– If the updated value PV < SP, then the special function reduces the value of AQ.
With a disturbance, AQ continues to increase / decrease until the updated value PV again
corresponds to SP. The speed with which AQ changes depends on the parameters KC and
TI.
If the input PV exceeds the parameter Max, then the updated value PV is set to the value of
Max. If the PV falls short of the parameter Min, then the updated value PV is set to the value
of Min.
If the input R is set to 1, then the AQ output is reset. As long as R is set, the input A/M is
disabled.
Sampling time
The sampling time is fixed at 500 ms.
Parameter sets

KC, TI and Dir, refer to the Online Help for LOGO!Soft Comfort.

4.4.31 Pulse width modulator (PWM)
Short description
The Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) instruction modulates the analog input value Ax to a
pulsed digital output signal. The pulse width is proportional to the analog value Ax.

Input En A positive edge (0 to 1 transition) at input En enables
the PWM function block.
Input Ax Analog signal to be modulated to a pulsed digital
output signal.
Parameter A: gain
B: zero offset
Range of values: 10,000 to 10,000
T: periodic time over which the digital output is
modulated
Min:
Max:
Output Q Q is set or reset for the proportion of each time period
according to the proportion of the standardized value
Ax to the analog value range.
Parameter T
The periodic time T can be provided by the actual value of another already-programmed
function. You can use the actual value of the following functions:
LOGO!
224 Manual, 06/2014, A5E33039675
LOGO! functions

Parameters p (number of decimals)

Parameter p applies only to the display of the Ax value in a message text.
The function reads the value of the signal at the analog input Ax.
This value is multiplied by the value of parameter A (gain). Parameter B (offset) is added to
the product, as follows:
(Ax • Gain) + Offset = Actual value Ax
The function block calculates the proportion of the actual value Ax to the range. The block
sets the digital output Q high for the same proportion of the T (periodic time) parameter, and
sets Q low for the remainder of the time period.
Examples with timing diagrams

The following examples show how the PWM instruction modulates a digital output signal
from the analog input value:
Example 1
Analog input value: 500 (range 0 to 1,000)
Periodic time T: four seconds
The digital output of the PWM function is 2 seconds high, 2 seconds low, 2 seconds high, 2
seconds low and continues in that pattern as long as parameter "En" = high.
LOGO!
Manual, 06/2014, A5E33039675 225
LOGO! functions
Example 2
Analog input value: 300 (range 0 to 1,000)
Periodic time T: 10 seconds
The digital output of the PWM function is three seconds high, seven seconds low, three
seconds high, seven seconds low and continues in that pattern as long as parameter "En" =
high.
Calculation rule
Q = 1, for (Ax - Min)/ (Max - Min) of time period T, when Min < Ax < Max.
Q = 0, for PT - [ (Ax - Min) / (Max - Min) ] of periodic time T.
Note: Ax in this calculation refers to the actual value Ax as calculated using the Gain and
Offset.

4.4.32 Mathematic instruction
Short description
The mathematic instruction block calculates the value AQ of an equation formed from the
user-defined operands and operators.

(Enable) enables the mathematic instruction function
block.
Parameter V1: first operand value
V2: second operand value
V3: third operand value
V4: fourth operand value
Op1: first operator

Op2: second operator
Op3: third operator
Operator Prio: priority of the operands
Qen→0:
0: reset value of AQ to 0 when En=0
1: retain last value of AQ when En=0
Output AQ The output AQ is the result of the equation formed
from the operand values and operators. AQ will be
set to 32767 if a divide by 0 or overflow occurs, and -
32768 if a negative overflow (underflow) occurs.
Parameters V1 to V4
Another already-programmed function can provide the analog values for the parameters V1
to V4. You can use the actual values of the following functions:
LOGO!
Manual, 06/2014, A5E33039675 227
LOGO! functions

● Mathematic instruction (actual value AQ)
Note
If the analog value for parameter V1, V2, V3 or V4 is derived from another already-
programmed function whose actual value exceeds the value range for V1 to V4, LOGO! will
display the limit value -32768 if the value is less than the lower range or 32767 if the value is
greater than the upper range.
Parameters p (number of decimals)

Parameter p applies only to the display of Value1, Value2, Value3, Value4 and AQ in a
message text.
The mathematic instruction function combines the four operations and three operators to
form an equation. The operator can be any one of the four standard operators: +, -, *, or /.
The priority of operators is determined by "( )" and "[ ]", in which "( )" has a higher priority.
The operand values can reference another previously-defined function to provide the value.
The mathematic instruction function rounds the result to the nearest integer value.
LOGO!
228 Manual, 06/2014, A5E33039675
LOGO! functions
The number of operand values is fixed at four and the number of operators is fixed at 3. If
you need to use fewer operands, use constructions such as + 0 or * 1 to fill the remaining
parameters.
You can also configure the behavior of the function when the Enable parameter En=0. The
function block can either retain its last value, or be set to 0. If the parameter Qen → 0 = 0,
then the function sets AQ to 0 when En=0. If the parameter Qen → 0 = 1, then the function
leaves AQ at its last value when En=0.
Possible errors: zero division and overflow

If the mathematic instruction function block execution results in zero division or overflow, it
sets internal bits that indicate the type of error that occurred. You can program a mathematic
instruction error detection function block in your circuit program to detect these errors, and to
control the program behavior as needed. You program one mathematic instruction error
detection function block to reference one specific mathematic instruction function block.
Examples
The following tables show some simple example mathematic instruction block parameters,
and the resulting equations and output values:
V1 Op1 V2 Op2 V3 Op3 V4

(Priority) (Priority) (Priority)
12 [+] 6 (/) 3 - 1
Equation: [12 + (6 / 3)] - 1

Result: 13

2 (+) 3 [*] 1 + 4
Equation: 2 + [3 * (1 + 4)]
Result: 17

100 (-) 25 / 2 [+] 1
Equation: (100 - 25) / [2 + 1]

Result: 25

4.4.33 Mathematic instruction error detection
Short description
The mathematic instruction error detection block sets an output if an error has occurred in
the referenced Mathematic instruction (Page 227) function block.

(Enable) enables the mathematic instruction error
detection block.
Input R A signal at input R resets the output.
Parameter MathBN: block number of a mathematic instruction
Err: ZD: divide by 0 error
OF: overflow error
ZD/OF: (divide by 0 error) OR
(overflow error)
AutoRst: reset the output before the next execution of
the mathematic instruction error function block. Y =
yes; N = no
Output Q Q is set high if the error to detect occurred in the last
execution referenced mathematic instruction function
block.
Parameter MathBN
The value for the MathBN parameter references the block number of an already-
programmed mathematic instruction function block.
LOGO!
230 Manual, 06/2014, A5E33039675
LOGO! functions
The mathematic instruction error detection block sets the output when the referenced
mathematic instruction function block has an error. You can program the function to set the
output on a zero division error, an overflow error, or when either type of error occurs.
If AutoRst is set, the output is reset prior to the next execution of the function block. If
AutoRst is not set, then whenever the output is set it remains set until the mathematic
instruction error detection block is reset with the R parameter. In this way, even if the error
subsequently clears, the circuit program still has knowledge that an error did occur at some
point.
In any scan cycle, if the referenced mathematic instruction function block executes before
the mathematic instruction error detection function block, the error is detected in the same
scan cycle. If the referenced mathematic instruction function block executes after the
mathematic instruction error detection function block, the error is detected in the next scan
cycle.
Mathematic instruction error detection logic table

In the table below, Err represents the parameter of the mathematic instruction error detection
instruction that selects which type of error to detect. ZD represents the zero division bit set
by the mathematic instruction at the end of its execution: 1 if the error occurred, 0 if not. OF
represents the overflow bit set by the mathematic instruction: 1 if the error occurred, 0 if not.
The ZD/OF Err parameter represents the logical OR of the zero division bit and overflow bit
of the referenced mathematic instruction. Q represents the output of the mathematic
instruction error detection function. An "x" indicates that the bit can be either 0 or 1 with no
influence on the output.
Err ZD OF Q
ZD 1 x 1
ZD 0 x 0
OF x 1 1
OF x 0 0
ZD/OF 1 0 1
ZD/OF 0 1 1
ZD/OF 1 1 1
ZD/OF 0 0 0
If the MathBN parameter is null, then the output Q is always 0.

The parameters MathBN, AutoRst, and Err can be set in programming mode or parameter
assignment mode.
