Performing an online test of the circuit program

After you are satisfied with your program simulation and have downloaded it to LOGO! Base Module, you can also perform an online test of the circuit program. An online test is similar to simulation in that you can view inputs and outputs and block parameters. It differs, however, in that you are testing the program running in the LOGO! Base Module with "live" inputs rather than testing the program on the PC with simulated inputs.

The following example shows an online test of the practical example circuit program. In this example, input I1 was turned on and then turned off. The off-delay timer began counting when I1 was turned off:

Data Table

See the topic Simulating network communication (0BA7 and later versions only) for prerequisite conditions for an online test.

During an online test, you can modify a parameter of a function block with the LOGO!Soft Comfort. After your modification, the LOGO! Base Module then synchronizes the modified parameter. You can also modify the parameter in the LOGO! Base Module, and the LOGO!Soft comfort synchronizes the modified parameter.

Note

If the LOGO! Base Module is still in "Set Param" mode, it can not synchronize your modification in the LOGO!Soft Comfort.
