1 Working with LOGO!
What is LOGO! ?
LOGO! represents the universal Siemens logic module.
LOGO! integrates
 Controls
 An operating and display unit
 Power supply
 Interface for expansion modules
 An interface for program modules and a PC cable
 Ready–to–use basic functions that are often required in
day–to–day operation, e.g. functions for on/off delays,
current impulse relays and Softkey
 Time switch
 Binary markers
 Inputs and outputs according to the device type
What can LOGO! do ?
LOGO! offers solutions for domestic and installation engi-
neering (e.g. for stairway lighting, external lighting, sun
blinds, shutters, shop window lighting etc.), switch cabinet
engineering and mechanical and apparatus engineering
(e.g. for gate control systems, ventilation systems, or rain-
water pumps etc.).
LOGO! can also be implemented for special control sys-
tems in conservatories or greenhouses, for control signal
processing and, by connecting a communication module
(e.g. ASi) for distributed local controlling of machines and
processes.
Special versions without operator and display unit are avail-
able for series production applications in small machine,
apparatus, switch control and installation engineering.

Working with LOGO!

Which new types of equipment are now available?

LOGO! Basically, there are two voltage classes:
 Class 1 < 24 V, that is, 12 V DC, 24 V DC, 24 V AC
Class 2 > 24 V, that is, 115...240 V AC/DC
in versions:
 With display: 8 inputs and 4 outputs.
 Without display: 8 inputs and 4 outputs.
Each version is integrated in 4 units. It is equipped with an
expansion interface and offers you 30 ready–to–us basic
and special functions for creating your program.
Which new expansion modules are now available?
 The LOGO! digital module is available for 12 V DC,
24 V DC and 115...240 V AC/DC, with 4 I/Os.
 The LOGO! analog module is available for 12 V DC and
24 V DC, with 2 inputs.
 The LOGO! Communication module, e.g. the function
module ASi (AS Interface bus system). This module is
described in a separate documentation.
The digital/analog modules are integrated in 2 units. Each
one has two expansion interfaces for connecting additional
modules.
Which type of equipment is obsolete?
 All versions with 6 inputs.
 A long variant with 12 inputs and 8 outputs
 The bus version with 12 inputs and 8 outputs.
The modular strikers of LOGO! replace this type of equip-
ment.
It’s your choice
The different basic versions and expansion modules offer
structures and precise adaptation to you specific tasks.
LOGO! provides solutions ranging from the small domestic
installation through small automation tasks to extensive
tasks integrating a bus system (e.g. the AS interface).

 Working with LOGO!

Note
Every basic LOGO! unit can be expanded with expansion
modules of the same voltage class. Mechanical encoding
(pin in the housing) prevents interconnection of devices of
different voltage classes.
Exception: The left interface of the analog module or
communication module is separated from potential.
This means that these expansion modules can be con-
nected to devices of a different voltage class. See also
Chapter 2.1 ’Structure of the modular LOGO!’.
Regardless of the number of modules connected to the
LOGO!, the following I/O and memory bits are available: I1
to I24, AI1 to AI8, Q1 to Q16 And M1 to M8.

2 Installing and wiring the LOGO!
General Guidelines
When mounting and wiring your LOGO! you should ob-
serve the following guidelines:
 When wiring the LOGO! ensure you are conforming with
current rules and standards. You should also heed any
national and regional regulations when installing and
operating the devices. Contact the relevant authorities
to find out the standards and regulations that apply in
your specific case.
 Use wires with the appropriate cross–section for the
amount of current involved. LOGO! can be wired using
cables with a conductor cross–section of 1.5 mm2 and
2.5 mm2, refer to Chapter 2.3.
 Don’t screw the connectors too tightly. Maximum torque:
0.5 N/m, refer to Chapter 2.3.
 Keep wiring distances as short as possible. If longer
wires are necessary, a shielded cable should be used.
Arrange you wires in pairs: one neutral conductor with
one phase conductor or one signal line.
 Keep separate:
– AC circuits
– High–voltage DC circuits with fast switching cycles
– Low voltage signal wiring.
 Ensure that the wires have the required strain relief.
 Provide suitable overvoltage protection for wires that
could be vulnerable to lightning.

LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01 11
Installing and wiring the LOGO!

 Do not connect an external power supply to an output

load parallel to a DC output. This can result in reverse
current at the output unless you have a diode or a simi-
lar block in your configuration.

Note
LOGO! must always be mounted and wired by skilled per-
sonnel who are familiar and follow the general rules of the
technology and the respective current rules and standards.

Fast/optimal communication
In order to achieve an optimal and fast communication be-
tween LOGO! Basic and the various modules, we recom-
mend the structure “Digital modules first, then the analog
modules” (example above).

A5E00119092-01 13
Installing and wiring the LOGO!

2.1.2 Structure with different voltage classes

Since the potential of the left analog module interface
(AM2, 12/24 V DC) is separated from the right one, you
can connect it to all LOGO! Basic versions.
The potential of expansion modules arranged to the right of
the analog module is separated from LOGO! Basic.
It is therefore possible to connect an expansion module of
a different voltage class as LOGO! Basic at the right side
of an analog module.

Special features of LOGO! 12/24 RC/RCo and LOGO! 24

 Fast inputs: I5 and I6
These versions are also equipped with inputs for frequency
functions. The same restrictions do not apply to these fast
inputs.

Note
There are no changes in the standard version compared to
previous Basic devices (0BA0 to 0BA2): I5 and I6 are still
the fast inputs, that is, no changes are necessary to trans-
fer the program written in these versions to the new 0BA3
devices. In contrast, programs written in a LOGO!...L ver-
sion (fast inputs I11/I12) must be changed.
Expansion modules do not have fast inputs.

 Analog inputs: I7 and I8

With the LOGO! 12/24 RC/RCo and LOGO! 24 versions
the inputs I7 and I8 can be used as normal digital inputs or
as analog inputs. How the input is used depends on its pur-
pose in the LOGO! control program.
You can use the digital capability of the input with I7/I8 and
its analog capability with the identifiers AI1 and AI2.
See also Section 4.1.

Note
The expansion module LOGO! AM2 is available for addi-
tional inputs.
For the analog signals you must always use twisted and
shielded cables as short as possible.

2.3.3 LOGO! Outputs connecting

LOGO! ...R...
The LOGO! outputs ...R... are relays. The relay contacts
are isolated from the power supply and from the inputs.
Prerequisites for Relay outputs
You can connect different loads to the outputs such as
lamps, fluorescent tubes, motors, contactors etc. The loads
connected to LOGO! ...R... must have the following proper-
ties:
 The maximum switched current depends on the type of
load and the number of switching cycles (For details
refer to Chapter A “Technical Data” ).
 LOGO! Basic...R..: in switched on state (Q = 1) and
with ohmic load the maximum current is 10 A and for
inductive loads the maximum is 3 A (2 A at 12/24 V AC/
DC).

LOGO! variants with transistor outputs can be identified by
the fact that the letter R is missing from their type designa-
tion. The outputs are short circuit–proof and overload–
proof. An auxiliary load voltage supply is not necessary
since LOGO! supplies the load voltage.
Prerequisites for transistor outputs
The load connected to LOGO! must have the following
properties:
 The maximum switched current is 0.3 amperes per out-
put.

2.4 Switching on the LOGO!/Power return

LOGO! does not have a power switch. The reaction of
LOGO! when switched on depends
 whether a program is stored LOGO! in LOGO!,
 whether a program module is connected,
 Whether it is a LOGO! version without display
(LOGO!...RCo),
 in which state LOGO! was prior to POWER–OFF and
 whether a PC cord was connected.
The LOGO! reaction to all possible situations is described
on the following page:

 Installing and wiring the LOGO!

You can also try to remember the 4 simple rules for starting
LOGO! Basic:
1. If there is no program in LOGO! or in the connected
program modules, LOGO! (with display) reports: ’No
Program Press ESC’.
2. If there is a program on the program module, it is auto-
matically copied to LOGO! . A program in LOGO! is
overwritten.
3. If there is a program in LOGO! or in the connected pro-
gram module, LOGO! takes over the operate state it
had prior to POWER–OFF. The version without display
(LOGO! ...RCo) is switched automatically from STOP to
RUN mode (LED toggles from red to green).
4. If at least on function is switched retentive or if you have
used a function that is permanently retentive the current
values are also retentive at POWER–OFF.

Note
If a power loss occurs while you are entering a program,
the program in LOGO! is deleted after power is returned.
You should therefore save your original program before
changing it on a program module (card) or on a computer
(LOGO!Soft Comfort).

3 Programming LOGO!
Your first steps with LOGO!
The term programming refers to the input of a circuit pro-
gram. A LOGO! program is actually no more than a circuit
diagram presented in a slightly different form!
We have adapted this presentation to the LOGO! display.
In this chapter we are going to show you how to transform
your applications into a LOGO! program.

Note
The LOGO! versions LOGO! 12/24 RCo, LOGO! 24 RCo
and LOGO! 230 RCo do not have a keyboard or a display
unit. They are mainly intended for series production ap-
plications in small machine and plant engineering.
LOGO!...RCo versions are not programmed locally.
Rather, programs in LOGO!Soft Comfort or in the memory
modules of other LOGO! units are transferred to this de-
vice.

In the first section of this chapter we shall use a small ex-

ample to show you how to handle the LOGO! .
 We shall begin by introducing two basic terms, namely

Outputs Analog inputs

Each input is identified by the letter I and a number. When

you look at the LOGO! from the front, you can see the con-
nectors for the inputs at the top. Only the analog module
LOGO! AM2 has its inputs at the bottom.
Each output is identified by the letter Q and a suffix. You
can see that the connectors of the outputs are located at
the bottom.

36 LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01
 Programming LOGO!

Note
LOGO! can recognize, read and switch the I/O of all ex-
pansion slots, regardless of their type. The I/O is shown in
the order of the module arrangement.
The following I/Os and memory bits are available for pro-
gramming: I1 to I24, AI1 to AI8, Q1 to Q16 and M1 to M8.
For the LOGO! 12/24... and LOGO! 24 inputs I7 and I8
applies: if Ix is used in the program, the input signal is in-
terpreted as digital signal; with AIx it is an analog signal.
Input AIx can only be the connector that is actually capa-
ble of carrying an analog signal.

LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01 37
Programming LOGO!

LOGO!’s connectors
The term connector refers to all connections and states in
LOGO! .
The I/O status can be ’0’ or ’1’. Status ’0’ means that the
input does not carry a voltage. Status ’1’ means that the
input carries voltage. But that, we assume, is nothing new
to you.
We have implemented the connectors hi, lo and x in order
to facilitate programming for you: the default fixed status of
’hi’ (high) is ’1’ and of ’lo’ (low) it is ’0’.
If you do not want to wire the input of a block, use the ’x’
connector. The meaning of the term block is explained on
the next page.
LOGO! knows the following connectors:

3.2 Blocks and Block Numbers

This chapter shows you how to use the LOGO! elements to
create extensive circuits and how the blocks and the I/O
are interconnected.
For this purpose, please turn to Section 3.3. There you are
going to learn how to convert a common circuit into a
LOGO! program.
Blocks
A block in LOGO! is a function that is used to convert input
information into output information. Previously you had to
wire up the individual elements in the control cabinet or
terminal box.
When you program LOGO!, you connect connectors with
blocks. To do this, simply select the connection you require
from the Co menu We have used the abbreviation Co for
the English term ”Connector” to name the menu.
Logic operations
The most elementary blocks are logical links:
 AND
 OR
 ...

I1
Inputs I1 and I2 are connected to the
1 OR block. The last input of the block
I2
is not used and is therefore marked
x Q
with an x.
The special functions are far more powerful:
 Pulse relay
 Counter
 On delay
 Softkey
 ....
Chapter 4 provides a complete list of LOGO!’s functions.

Displaying a block in LOGO!

The figure below shows a typical LOGO! display. Only one
block can be displayed at a time. We have therefore
introduced block numbers to help you check the circuit
structure.

Assigning a block number

When you insert a block in a program, LOGO! always as-
signs it a block number.
LOGO! uses the block numbers to show you the block in-
terconnections. Primarily, the block numbers are meant to
help you find your way around the program.

A5E00119092-01
 Programming LOGO!

The overview shows you three displays of LOGO!, which

together form the program. You can see how LOGO! inter-
connects the blocks, using the block numbers.
Advantages of the block numbers
You can append almost any block to an input of the current
block using its block number. In this way you can reuse the
interim results of logical links or other operations. This
saves you input work and memory space, and ensures a
clear arrangement of your circuit. In this case, you must
know how LOGO! has named the blocks.

Note
For efficient working, we recommend that you create
block diagram of the program. This is going to make pro-
gramming easier for you, because here you can enter the
block numbers assigned by LOGO!.
If you program the LOGO! using the LOGO!Soft Comfort
software, you can directly create a logic diagram of your
program.

3.3 The way from the Circuit Diagram to

LOGO!
How a circuit is represented in a circuit diagram
You know, of course, how a circuit is represented in a cir-
cuit diagram. Nevertheless, here is an example:
The load E1 is switched
on and off by means of
S1 S2 K1
the switches (S1 OR
S2) AND S3.
S3
The relay K1 picks up if
K1 E1 S1 OR S2 AND S3 are
closed.

Realizing this circuit with LOGO!

In LOGO! you construct a circuit by interconnecting blocks
and connectors:

L1
Wiring of the inputs
S1 ... S3
Program in LOGO!

1 &
I1 I3
I2 Q1
x x

N Wiring of the outputs

To convert a circuit in LOGO!, start at the output of the cir-

cuit.
The output is the load or the relay that is to be switched.

42 LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01
 Programming LOGO!

Convert the circuit to blocks. To do this, go through the cir-

cuit from the output to the input:
Step 1: At output Q1 there is a series connection of the
normally open contact S3 with another circuit component.
The series connection corresponds to an AND block:

&
I3
Q1
x

Step 2: S1 and S2 are connected in parallel. The parallel

circuit corresponds to an OR block:

1 &
I1 I3
I2 Q1
x x
You have now completely described the circuit for the
LOGO! . Now connect the I/Os to the LOGO! .
Wiring
Connect the switches S1 to S3 to the screw terminals of
the LOGO! :
 Connect S1 to connector I1 on the LOGO!
 Connect S2 to connector I2 of the LOGO!
 Connect S3 to connector I3 of the LOGO!
Since only two inputs of the OR blocks are being used, the
third input of this block must be marked as “unused”. This
is indicated using the suffix x.
Likewise, only 2 inputs of the AND block are used. Thus,
the third input is also marked as ’unused’ by the suffix x.
The output of the AND block controls the relay of output
Q1. The load E1 is connected to output Q1.

3.4 The 4 Golden Rules for Working with

LOGO!
Rule 1
Changing operating mode
 Edit the circuit in programming mode. After Power On
and if “No Program, Press ESC” is displayed, you can
open the programming mode by pressing the ESC key.
 You can edit the time and parameter values of an exist-
ing program in the parameter assignment mode and
in programming mode .
 Start RUN mode by executing ’Start’ in the main menu.
 In RUN mode you can return to parameter assign-
ment mode via ESC key.
 If you want to return from parameter assignment
mode to programming mode, execute the “Stop”
command in the parameter assignment menu. When
prompted to confirm with “Yes” when “Stop Prg” ap-
pears, move the cursor to “Yes” and confirm with OK.
You can find more information on operating modes in the
Chapter LOGO! Menu Structure Page 231.
Rule 2
Outputs and inputs
 Always program a circuit working from the output to-
wards the input.
 You can connect an output to several inputs, however,
you cannot fan out one input to several outputs.
 You cannot connect an output to a preceding input in
the same program path. For such internal recursions
you should interconnect memory bits or outputs.

LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01 45
Programming LOGO!

Rule 3
Cursor and cursor movement
When programming a circuit, note:
 When the cursor appears in the form of an underscore,
you can move the cursor:
– Use the , , or key to move the cursor in the
circuit
– Press OK to change to ”Select terminal/block”
– Press ESC to exit circuit programming.
 When the cursor appears as solid square, you should
select a connector/block
– Use the or key to select a connector/block.
– Confirm your selection with OK.
– Press ESC to go back one step.
Rule 4
Planning
 Make a complete plan of your circuit on paper before
you input the circuit or program LOGO! directly using
LOGO!Soft or LOGO!Soft Comfort.
 LOGO! can only save complete programs. If the circuit
program is incomplete LOGO! cannot exit the program-
ming mode.

3.6 Program Input and Start

You have designed a circuit and now want to enter it in
LOGO! . A small example will show how to do this.

3.6.1 Change to Programming mode

You have connected the LOGO! to the power supply and
voltage is switched on. The display shows you the mes-
sage:

Here too, you can move the ”>” by pressing the and
keys. Move the ”>” to ”Edit Prg” (edit program, that is, in-
put) and confirm with OK. LOGO! no shows you the first
output:

LOGO!’s first output

Q1

You are now in programming mode. Use the keys and

keys to select the other outputs. At this point you can start
programming your circuit.

Note
Since our program has not yet been saved with a pass-
word in LOGO! you can start editing your program right
away. If you start a program already saved with password
protection, “Edit Prg“ and confirmation with OK would be
followed by the prompt to enter a password. In this case
you cannot start editing unless you enter the correct pass-
word. (refer to Chapter 3.6.5.)

3.6.2 First Program

Let us now take a look at the following parallel circuit con-
sisting of two switches.
Circuit diagram
How the circuit is represented in a circuit diagram

S1 S2 The load is switched on via

K1 switch S1 OR S2. LOGO! in-
terprets the circuit as ’OR’,
because either switch S1 OR
S2 switches the output.
K1

LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01 49
Programming LOGO!

Translated in the LOGO! program this means: relay K1 (in

LOGO! via output Q1) is controlled by an OR block.
Program
I1 and I2 are connected to the input of the OR block,
whereby S1 is connected to I1 and S2 to I2.
This is what the LOGO! program then looks like:

3.6.3 Editing a Program

Let us now edit the program (working from the output to the
input). Initially, LOGO! displays the output:

LOGO!’s first output

Q1

The Q of Q1 is underscored. This underscore is called the

cursor. The cursor indicates your current position in the
program. You can move the cursor by pressing the , ,
and keys. Now press the key. The cursor moves to the
left.

The cursor indicates your position in

the program.

– Q1

At this point, enter only the first block (the OR block). Press
OK to switch to editing mode.

The cursor is displayed as a solid

square: You can now select a terminal
or a block
Co Q1

The cursor no longer appears in the form of an underscore;

but rather as a flashing solid square. At the same time
LOGO! gives you various options.
Select the BF (basic functions) by pressing the key until
BF appears. Confirm with OK. LOGO! then displays the
first block in the list of basic functions:

 Programming LOGO!

But we are going to exit program input now. This is how it

is done:
1. Return to the programming menu: ESC
If this does not return you to the programming menu, you
have not wired a block completely. LOGO! indicates posi-
tions at which you have missed something (LOGO! accepts
only complete programs, for the sake of your safety.). Also
refer to page 71.

Note
LOGO! has now saved your program retentive on power
failure. The program is only stored in the LOGO! until you
delete it per instruction.

3.6.4 Assigning a Program Name

You can assign a name to your program. This name con-
sists of upper/lower case letters, numbers and special
characters. The maximum length is 16 characters.
2. move “>” to ’Prg Name’: per or
3. Accept ’Prg Name’: OK
Use the keys and you can list the alphabet from A(a)
to Z(z), numbers and special characters. You can also list
them forward and backward. Here you can select any let-
ter, number or character.
Input an empty by moving the cursor with to the next
position. This is the first character of the list.
Examples:
Press once: the result is an “ A ”
Press four times: the result is a left bracket “ { ”etc.

3.6.5 Password
You can assign a password in to protect it from being
edited by unauthorized persons.
How to assign a password
The maximum password length is 10 characters. It consists
of uppercase letters only (A to Z). On the device you can
only assign, edit and deactivate the password in the
“Password” menu.
In the programing menu:
1. move ’>’ to ’Password’: per or
2. Accept the ’Password’: OK
Use the keys or to move up and down the alphabet to
select your letters. Since LOGO! allows only uppercase
letters for the password, you can quickly access the letters
”at the end” of the alphabet faster by using the key :
Press once gives you a “Z”
Pressing twice gives you a “Y” etc.
Let us now assign the password “AA” to our first program.
The display shows:

Old:
No Password
New:

The procedure is the same as for entering the program

name. Under “New”, enter:
3. Select “ A”: Press
4. To the next letter: Press
5. Select “ A”: Press

LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01 57
Programming LOGO!

The display now shows:

Old:
No Password
New:

6. Confirm the password: OK

Your program is now password protected with “AA” and
you have been returned to the programming menu.

Note
If the input of the new password is interrupted with ESC
LOGO! returns to the programming menu without saving
the password.
You can also input your password in LOGO!Soft Comfort.
You can only upload a password protected program in
LOGO!Soft Comfort or edit your program on the device
after you have entered the correct password.

Changing the Password

In order to change the password you must know the cur-
rent one.
In the programming menu:
1. move ’>’ to ’Password’: per or
2. Accept the ’Password’: OK
Under “Old”, enter your old password (in our case ’AA’) by
repeating steps 3 to 6 as described above.

58 LOGO! Manual

 Programming LOGO!

The display now shows:

Old:
AA
New:

Now you can enter a new password under “New”, e.g.

“ZZ”:
3. Select “Z”: Press
4. To the next letter: Press
5. Select “Z”: Press
The display now shows:

Old:
AA
New:
ZZ
6. Confirm your new password: OK
“ZZ” is now your new password and you are back in the
programming menu.
Deactivating the Password
Let us assume you want to deactivate the password for
whichever reason. For example, you want to grant another
user read/write access to your program. Same as when
changing it, you must know your current password (in our
example “ZZ”).
In the programming menu:
1. move ’>’ to ’Password’: per or
2. Accept the ’Password’: OK
Under “Old” you must now enter your current password as
described in steps 3 to 5. Confirm your entry with OK.

LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01 59
Programming LOGO!

The display shows:

Old:
ZZ
New:

Now deactivate the password without making another

entry :
3. Confirm the “empty” password: OK
The password does not exist anymore. You have been re-
turned to the programming menu.

Note
This deactivation switches off the password prompt. Edit-
ing is possible without entering a password.
For the moment, leave the password prompt deactivated
in order to speed up our progress with the remaining tuto-
rials/examples.

Password: Wrong input !

When you enter the wrong password and confirm your
entry with OK, LOGO! does not open editing mode, but
rather returns to the programming menu. This repeats itself
over and over until you have entered the correct password.

What does ”LOGO! is in RUN” mean?

In RUN mode LOGO! processes the program. To do this,
LOGO! initially reads the status of the inputs, determines
the status of the outputs using your specified program and
switches the outputs on or off.
The LOGO! presents the I/O status in this way:
Input/output has the state ’1’:
I:0.,1.,2. Q:0.,1.

3.6.10 Correcting Typing Errors

Programming errors can be corrected easily in LOGO! :
 Provided editing mode is not yet closed, you can revert
by one step via ESC.
 If you have configured all inputs, just enter the wrong
input once again:
1. Move the cursor to the location of the error.
2. Change to editing mode. Confirm with OK
3. Enter the correct input circuit.
You can only replace one block with another if the new
block has exactly the same number of inputs as the old
one. However, you can delete the old block and insert a
new one. You can choose any new block.

3.6.11 ”?” on the Display

If you have entered a program and want to exit “Edit Prg”
with ESC, LOGO! checks whether you have connected the
inputs of all blocks. If you have missed out on an input or
parameter LOGO! leads you to the respective position. It
indicates the first faulty position and marks all inputs which
are not connected and the parameters with a question
mark.
In this position you have con-
nected the input

3.7 Memory Space and Size of a Circuit

Then size of a program (Circuit program in LOGO!, circuit
diagram) is limited by the available memory space
(memory requirement for the blocks).
Memory area
In LOGO! you can only utilize a specific number of blocks
in your program. Some blocks require extra memory for
their special functions.
The memory required for special functions can be split into
four memory areas.
 Par: The area in which the LOGO! stores setpoint val-
ues, e.g. the limit values of a counter.
 RAM: The area in which the LOGO! stores actual val-
ues, e.g. a counter value.
 Timer: The area LOGO! utilizes for timer functions, e.g.
for on delays.
 REM: The area in which the LOGO! stores retentive
actual values, e.g. the hours counter value. In blocks
with selective use of the retentivity function, this
memory area is only used if retentivity is switched on.
Resources available in LOGO!
A program in LOGO! can occupy the following maximum
resources:

Blocks Par RAM Timer REM Bit

56 48 27 16 15 8

LOGO! monitors memory utilization. It restricts the func-

tions offered in the function lists to those for which suffi-
cient memory space is physically available.

 Programming LOGO!

* Depending whether or not the function is configured re-

tentive, it occupies the following memory space:
 Retentivity switched off: RAM area
 Retentivity switched on: REM area
Utilization of memory space
If you are unable to add another block when editing a pro-
gram, this is a clear indication that no more memory space
is available. LOGO! offers only the blocks for which it can
provide sufficient memory space. If a block from the list
cannot be added into the LOGO! program you cannot call
this list anymore.
If the memory space is fully utilized you must optimize your
circuit program or use a second LOGO! .
Determining the amount of memory required
When calculating the memory requirements of a circuit,
you must always take all memory areas into account.
Example:

Order
LOGO! provides various elements for the programming
mode. In order to avoid loosing the overview, we have dis-
tributed the elements in ’Lists’. These lists are:
 Co: Connector list (Connector)
(see Chapter 4.1)
 BF: List of basic functions AND, OR, ...
(refer to Chapter 4.2)
 SF: List of special functions
(refer to Chapter 4.4)
 BN: List of reusable blocks configured in the circuit
program
List Contents
All lists show the elements available in LOGO!. Normally,
this includes all connectors, all basic functions and all spe-
cial functions the LOGO! knows. This includes all blocks
you have created in LOGO! by the time you call the list
BN .
If not all is shown
LOGO! does not show all elements if:
 No more blocks can be added
in this case, there is either no more memory space
available or the maximum possible number of blocks
was reached (56).
 A specific block’s memory space requirement would
exceed the space available in LOGO! .

A5E00119092-01 81
LOGO! Functions

4.1 Constants and Connectors – Co

Constants and Connectors ( = Co) are inputs, outputs,
memory bits and fixed voltage levels (constants).
Inputs:
1) Digital inputs
Digital inputs are designated with an I. The numbers of the
digital inputs (I1, I2, ...) correspond with the numbers of the
input connectors of the LOGO! Basic and of the connected
digital modules in the order they were installed. See the
figure on the next page.
2) Analog inputs
The LOGO! versions LOGO! 24, LOGO! 12/24 RC and
LOGO! 12/24 RCo are equipped with the inputs I7 and I8
which can also be used as AI1 and AI2, depending on the
program. If these inputs are used as I7 and I8 the input
signal is interpreted as digital value. When using AI1 and
AI2 the signals are interpreted as analog value. When you
connect an analog module, the inputs are numbered in the
order of the existing analog inputs. When selecting the in-
put signal in programming mode, only the analog inputs
AI1 to AI8 are offered for special functions which sensibly
ought to be connected to analog inputs. See the figure on
the next page.
Outputs
Outputs are designated with a Q. The numbers of the out-
puts (Q1, Q2, ...) correspond to those of the of the output
connectors of the LOGO! Basic and of the connected ex-
pansion modules in the order they were installed. See the
figure on the following page.

Outputs Analog inputs

Memory bits
Memory bits are identified with an M. Memory bits are
virtual outputs, with a value at their output analog to that at
the input. The LOGO! provides 8 memory bits, namely M1
... M8.
Tip on previous devices
With previous versions of LOGO! the maximum number of
blocks connected in series can be exceeded by adding
memory bits to the program.
Initialization memory bit
Memory bit M8 is set during the first cycle of the user pro-
gram. You can therefore use it in the program as initializa-
tion memory bit. After the first program cycle it is automati-
cally reset.
In all subsequent cycles you can use memory bit 8 in the
same way as memory bits M1 to M7 for setting, deleting
and evaluation operations.

Note
The output signal of the memory bit is always that of the
previous program cycle. The value does not change within
the same program cycle.

LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01 83
LOGO! Functions

Levels
Voltage levels are designated hi and lo. A constant block
status of “1” = hi or “0” = lo is achieved via input of a fixed
level or constant hi or lo value.
Open connectors
Block pins not connected are symbolized with an x.

4.3 Basics on special functions

At first sight, the special functions differ from the basic
functions because of their different input designation. Spe-
cial functions include timer functions, retentivity and diverse
parameter assignment options for customizing the pro-
gram.
In this section we should like to give you a brief overview of
the input designations and of special basics relating to spe-
cial functions. The special functions in particular are de-
scribed in Chapter 4.4.

92 LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01
 LOGO! Functions

4.3.1 Designation of the inputs

Logical inputs
Here you find the description of the connections which can
be linked to other modules or inputs of the LOGO! device.
 S (set):
Input S can be used to set the output to “1”.
 R (reset):
The reset input R has priority over all other inputs; it
switches the outputs to “0”.
 Trg (trigger):
This input is used to trigger the start of a function cycle.
 Cnt (count):
This input is used to capture count pulses.
 Fre (frequency):
Frequency signals to be evaluated are input with this
designation.
 Dir (direction):
This input, for example, determines the direction of
count.
 En (enable):
This input enables the block functions. When this input
is “0”, the block ignores all other signals.
 Inv (invert):
The output signal of the block is inverted when this input
is set.
 Ral (reset all):
All internal values are reset.
Connection X at the inputs of the special functions
The inputs of the special functions are 0 when connected
to the connection ”x”. That is, the inputs are ’lo’.

LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01 93
LOGO! Functions

Parameter inputs
To some of the inputs you do not apply signals, but rather
assign specific values to the function block.
 Par (parameter):
This input is not wired. Here, you configure the block
parameters.
 T (time):
This input is not wired. Here you configure the times for
a block.
 No (cam):
This input is not wired. Here, you configure the time pat-
terns.
 P (priority):
This input is not wired. Here, you specify priorities and
determine whether or not a message must be acknowl-
edged in RUN mode.

4.3.2 Time Response

Parameter T
With some of the special functions it is possible to config-
ure a time value T. When specifying the time, please note
that the values to be entered depend on the set timebase:

Timebase __ : __
s (seconds) seconds : 1/ seconds
100
m (minutes) minutes : seconds
h (hours) hours : minutes

Setting the time T to 250 minutes:

B01:T
Unit in hours h:
T=04.10h+ 04.00 hours 240 minutes
00.10 hours +10 minutes
= 250 minutes

94 LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01
 LOGO! Functions

Note
Always specify a time T  0.10 s. The time T is not de-
fined for T = 0.05 s and T= 0.00 s.

Accuracy of T
All electronic components have slightly different parame-
ters. This can cause deviations in the configured time T.
With the LOGO! the maximum deviation is  0.02 %.
If 0.02 % of time T is smaller than 0.1 seconds the maxi-
mum deviation is 0.1 seconds.
Example:
The maximum deviation for 1 hour (3600 seconds) is
 0.02 %, that is,  0.72 seconds.
The maximum deviation for 1 minute (60 seconds) is  0.1
seconds.
Timer switch accuracy
In order to prevent inaccuracies of clock timing in the C–
versions as a result of this deviation, the timer switch is
continuously compared with a highly accurate timebase
and readjusted. This results in a maximum timing deviation
of 5 s/day.

4.3.3 Buffering The Clock

The internal clock of a LOGO! continuous operation even
on power failure, that is, the clock is buffered. The duration
of this buffering is influenced by the ambient temperature.
At an ambient temperature of 25°C the buffering time is
normally 80 hours.

4.3.4 Retentivity
For special functions there is a possibility to keep circuit
states and counter values retentive. This, however, re-
quires that retentivity is enabled for the respective func-
tions. An exception is the principally retentive operating
hours meter. See also Chapter 6.1 on the description of
modules.

LOGO! Manual
A5E00119092-01 95
LOGO! Functions

4.3.5 Parameter Protection

In the parameter protection configuration you can specify
whether the parameters can be displayed and edited in
LOGO! parameter assignment mode . There are two op-
tional configurations:
+: The parameter configuration can be displayed and
edited in parameter assignment mode, too.
–: The parameter configuration cannot be displayed in pa-
rameter assignment mode. Editing is only possible in pro-
gramming mode. See the example on page 67.

4.3.6 Gain and Offset Calculation With Analog Val-

ues
The gain and offset parameters can be used to adjust the
internal image of an analog value to the actual measure-
ment value.

Characteristic quantity Minimum Maximum

Terminal voltage (in V) 0 ≥ 10
Internal value 0 1000
Gain (in %) 0 1000
Offset –999 +999

The terminal voltage (at input AI) of 0 to 10 V is mapped

internally to values from 0 to 1000. A terminal voltage
higher than 10 V is mapped internally by the value 1000.
With the gain parameter, for example, you can achieve an
amplification of 1:10 at a setting of 1000 %.
The offset parameter can be used to shift the zero of mea-
surement values.
Formula
Displayed value Ax = (Internal value + Offset)
Gain / 100
The gain value displayed is the amplification as %–age.
Hence, the division by 100 in the formula.

5 Configuring LOGO!
We consider ’parameter assignment’ as the configuration
of block parameters. You can set delay times for time func-
tions, switching times for the timer switches, the threshold
value of a counter, the monitoring interval of an operating
hours counter and the on and off thresholds of the triggers.
You can configure the parameters:
 In programming mode
 In parameter assignment mode
In parameter assignment mode, the programmer config-
ures the parameters.
We introduced this parameter assignment mode to allow
editing of the parameters without having to change the pro-
gram. In this way, for example, a user can edit parameters
without having to switch to programming mode. The advan-
tage: The program (and thus the circuit) is protected but
can still be modified by the user of the circuit to suit re-
quirements.

Note
In parameter assignment mode, the LOGO! continues
processing of the program.

6 LOGO! Program Modules
In LOGO! you can only keep one program stored in
memory. If you want to modify the program or write another
program without deleting the first one, you must archive it
somewhere. You can use program modules/cards to do
this.
You can copy the program stored in the LOGO! to a pro-
gram module/card. You can then insert the program mod-
ule/card in another LOGO! and copy the program to this
LOGO! . You can use the program module/card to do the
following:
 Archive programs
 Duplicate programs
 Mail programs
 Write and test programs out of the field at your office
and then transfer it to a LOGO! in the switching cabinet.
LOGO! is supplied with a hood. You receive the program
module/card separately.

Note
You do not require a module for storing your LOGO! pro-
gram permanently.
The LOGO! program is already stored permanently when
programming mode is closed.

Below we shall introduce the two modules that you can

purchase for your LOGO! . Both of them can accommodate
the entire program memory of a LOGO! .

LOGO! Program Modules

6.1 Overview of the Modules

Yellow program module
Programs can be transferred from the yellow module to the
device and vice versa.
Red program module
A program is protected if it is transferred from a red mod-
ule to the LOGO! .
Such a protected program can only run if the red module
remains inserted in LOGO! during runtime.
A protected program cannot be edited.
A program is not protected anymore when the correct
password is entered.
If you create a program for the red module and want to edit
it at a later time you must assign it a password.
Compatibility
... under current versions (0BA3 devices):
A module written in one of the basic versions (0BA3 de-
vices) can be read in all other basic versions.
... under previous versions (0BA0 to 0BA2 devices):
A module
 written in a standard version can be read in all the other
versions.
 written in a LOGO! ...L version, can be read in all other
LOGO! ...L versions; but not in a standard version.
 written in a LOGO! ...LB11 version, can be read in all
other LOGO! ...LB11 versions; but not in a standard ver-
sion or in a LOGO! ...L version.
... 0BA3 devices ––> 0BA0 to 0BA2 devices:
A module written in one of the basic versions (0BA3 de-
vices) can only be read in 0BA3 devices.

160 LOGO! Manual

A5E00119092-01
 LOGO! Program Modules

Upward compatibility
The new 0BA3 devices support upward compatibility. A
module written in one of the standard, long or bus versions
(0BA0 to 0BA2 devices) can be read in all basic versions
(0BA3 devices).

Note
Re upward compatibility: An adaptation of the program or
an upgrade of the LOGO! Basic is required (and sensible)
in some cases in order to achieve appropriate results. See
the information on “Fast inputs” in Chapter 2.3.2.

6.2 Removing and Inserting Modules

When removing a red module (know–how/copy protection),
note that: The program stored on this module can only run
if the module remains inserted during runtime.
If the module is removed the LOGO! reports a ’No pro-
gram’ error. Removal of the red module during runtime
leads to impermissible operate states.
Always heed the following warning:

Warning
! Do not put your finger or objects made of metal
or any other conductive material in the open slot
of the program module/card.
The socket for the program module/card may be
live if L1 and N have been incorrectly wired.
The program module/card must always be re-
placed by a skilled technician.

Removing the module

This how to remove the program module/card:

Carefully insert a screwdriver into the slot at the upper end

of the program module/card and ease it out of the slot a
little.
You can now remove the program module/card:
Inserting the program module/card
The slot for the program module/card is chamfered at the
lower right edge. The program module/card also has a
chamfered edge. This prevents you from inserting the pro-
gram module/card the wrong way around. Insert the pro-
gram module/card into the slot until it engages.

8.1 Staircase or Corridor Lighting

8.1.1 Demands on a Staircase Lighting System

The basic requirements for a staircase lighting system are
as follows:
 When someone is using the staircase, the lighting
should be switched on.
 If no–one is in the staircase the lights should be
switched off in order to save energy.

8.1.2 Previous Solution

The two conventional options for switching the lights:
 The pulse relay
 The automatic staircase time switch
The wiring for these two lighting systems is identical.

Lighting system with pulse relay

Function of a lighting system with pulse relay:
 Actuate any pushbutton: The lighting is switched on
 Actuate any of the pushbuttons once again: The lighting
is switched off.
Disadvantage: One often forgets to switch off the lights.
Lighting system with an automatic staircase time switch
When an automatic staircase time switch is used, the light-
ing system behaves as follows:
 Actuate any pushbutton: The lighting is switched on
 On expiration of the preset time the lights switch off au-
tomatically.
Disadvantage: The light cannot be switched on for a lon-
ger period of time (e.g. when cleaning the staircase). The
switch for continuous lighting is usually installed on the au-
tomatic staircase time switch that may be difficult or impos-
sible to access.

8.1.3 Lighting System with LOGO!

With the LOGO! you can replace the automatic staircase
time switch or the pulse relay. You can also implement both
functions (timed off delay and pulse relay) in a single unit.
What is more, you can incorporate extra functions without
making any alterations to the wiring. Here are some exam-
ples:
 Pulse relay with LOGO!
 Automatic staircase time switch with LOGO!
 Multifunctional switch with LOGO!
– Switch light on
– Switch on continuous lighting
– Switch light off

8.2 Automatic Door

You often find automatic door control systems at the en-
trance to supermarkets, public buildings, banks, hospitals
etc.

8.2.1 Demands on an Automatic Door

 When somebody approaches the door, it must open au-
tomatically.
 The door must remain open until the doorway is cleared.
 When the doorway is cleared, the door must close auto-
matically after a short time.

The entrance to a company’s premises is often closed with
a gate. The gate is only opened to let vehicles in and out.
The gate is controlled by the gateman.

8.4.1 Demands on the Gate Control System

 The gate is opened and closed by operating a pushbut-
ton in the gatehouse. The gateman can monitor the op-
eration of the gate at the same time.
 The gate is normally fully opened or closed. However,
the gate motion can be interrupted at any time.
 A flashing light is activated 5 seconds before the gate
begins to move and continues for as long as the gate is
in motion.
 A safety pressure bar prevents harm to persons and
objects from getting trapped or damaged when the gate
closes.

Often, a company’s premises can be entered at several

locations. Not all of the gates can always be monitored lo-
cally by personnel. They must therefore be able to be moni-
tored and operated by the gateman who sits in a central
gatehouse.
It must also be possible for a member of staff to open and
close the gate locally.
For every gate we implement one LOGO! 230 RC and one
AS interface function module. The bus interconnects the
modules and the master.
In this chapter, we will describe a gate control system. The
structure of the other gate control systems is identical.

When planning lighting systems for commercial locations,
the type and number of lamps used is determined by the
illuminance required. For reasons of cost efficiency, fluores-
cent tubes arranged in luminous rows are often used. They
are divided into separate switching circuits, according to
the way the room is used.

8.6.1 Demands on the Lighting System

 These separate luminous rows are switched on and off
locally.
 If there is sufficient daylight, the rows on the window
side of the room are automatically switched off via day-
light control switch.
 The lights are switched off automatically at 20.00.
 It must be possible at all times to switch the lights on
and off locally.

The lamps are switched on and off with a pulse relay that is
controlled per pushbuttons at the door. Regardless of this,
they are reset by the time switch or by the daylight control
switch via the central off input. The length of the off com-
mands must be reduced per wiping relays in order to make
it possible to switch the lights on and off locally after they
have been switched off.
Components required:
 Switches S1 to S4
 Daylight control switch B1
 Timer switch E1
 Wiping relays K1 and K2
 Pulse switches with central off K3 to K6
Disadvantages of the previous solution
 A substantial amount of switchgear is required in order
to implement these functions.
 Due to the high proportion of mechanical components,
high wear and tear and maintenance expenditure is to
be expected.
 Changing the function demands considerable efforts.

Advantages of the LOGO! solution

 You can connect the lamps directly to the LOGO!, pro-
vided the power consumption of the individual outputs
does not exceed its switching capacity. If higher loads
must be switched you should use a power contactor.
 Connect the daylight control switch directly to an input of
the LOGO! .
 You do not need an external timer switch, because this
function is integrated in the LOGO! .
 Due to the reduced amount of switchgear, you can
install a smaller and space–saving subsidiary distribu-
tion cabinet.
 Fewer devices are required
 The lighting system can be easily modified.
 Additional switching times can be set as required (se-
quential circuit for the off pulses at the end of the day).
 The function of the daylight control switch can easily be
applied to all lamps or modified group of lamps.

The use of rainwater as an addition to the drinking water
supply is gaining importance in the domestic housing area.
This saves money and helps protect the environment. For
example, rainwater can be used for:
 Washing clothes

 Watering indoor plants
 Car wash
 Toilet flushing installations

The rainwater is collected in a reservoir. From the reservoir

a pumping station supplies a respective line system. From
there it can be tapped in the same way as normal drinking
water. If the reservoir should run dry it can be topped up
with drinking water.

8.7.1 Demands on the control system of a service

water pump
 The system must be capable of supplying service water
at all times. In case of emergency, the control system
must automatically switch over to drinking water supply.
 When switching over to the drinking water supply an
ingress of rainwater into the mains system must be pre-
vented.
 The service water pump must not be switched on if rain-
water is low in the reservoir (dry–run protection).

The pump and a solenoid valve are controlled by means of

a pressure switch and 3 float switches installed in the rain-
water reservoir. The pump must be switched on when the
pressure level in the cylinder drops below minimum. Once
the operating pressure has been reached, the pump is
switched off again after a tracking time of a few seconds.
The tracking time prevents an oscillation of the water pump
if water is drawn off over any length of time.

Apart from the LOGO!, all you need is a pressure switch

and the float switches to control the pump. If you are using
a 3–phase AC motor, you must use a power contactor for
switching the pump. For single–phase AC pump systems
you must provide a contactor if the current consumption of
the AC motor exceeds the capacity of the output relay Q1.
The power of a solenoid valve is low enough to allow direct
controlling.

 Applications

On the Web you can also find descriptions and the corre-
sponding circuit diagrams of the applications. You can read
these *.pdf files with the Adobe AcrobatReader. And if you
have installed the LOGO!Soft or LOGO!Soft Comfort pro-
gramming software on your PC, you can simply download
the relevant circuit diagrams at the touch of a button, adapt
them to your requirements, transfer them into LOGO! via
the PC cable and start to use them .
Advantages of using LOGO!
The use of LOGO! is highly beneficial, especially in areas
 in which you can use the LOGO! to replace multiple
auxiliary switchgear with the integrated functions,
 where you want to economize wiring and installation
efforts – because LOGO! keeps the wiring ”in its head”.
 where you want to reduce component space in the con-
trol cabinet/distribution – you might even be able to re-
duce the size of your control cabinet/distribution box.
 in which you can add or change functions subsequently,
without having to install an additional switchgear or
change the wiring.
 where you want to offer your customers additional func-
tions for domestic and commercial housing installation.
Examples:
– Domestic security systems: With LOGO! to switch a
lamp on regularly or open and close your shutters
while you are on holiday.
– Central heating: With LOGO! run the circulation
pump only when you actually require water or heat-
ing.
– Refrigerating systems: With LOGO! defrost your re-
frigerating systems at regular intervals; this is more
lenient on energy costs.
– you can illuminate aquaria and terraria on a time–de-
pendent basis.

B Determining the Cycle Time
The program cycle is the complete execution of the pro-
gram, that is, primarily the reading in of the inputs, the
processing of the program and the subsequent reading out
of the outputs. The cycle time is the time required to exe-
cute a program once in full.
The time required for a program cycle can be determined
using a short test program. This test program is generated
in LOGO!. In parameter assignment mode it outputs a
value used to calculate the actual cycle time.
Test program
1. Start to create the test program by linking an output or
memory bit to a threshold switch. At the input of the
switch you can then connect a clock generator that is
switched on with a hi signal.

2. Configure the two blocks as shown below. Due to the
pulse rate of a 0 seconds a pulse is generated in every
program cycle. The time interval of the threshold switch
is set to 2 seconds.

B02:T B01:Par
T =00.00s+ SW=1000+
SW=0000
G_T=02.00s

3. Then start the program and switch the LOGO! to pa-

rameter assignment mode. You can view the parame-
ters of the threshold switch in this parameter assign-
ment mode.

B01:Par
SW=1000+ fa= is the sum of the

SW=0000
pulses measured per
time unit G_T
fa =0086
4. The reciprocal value of Fe is equal to the cycle time of
the LOGO! with the program currently in its memory.
1/Fe = cycle time in s
Explanation
The output signal of the clock pulse generator (T=0) is
toggled at every program cycle. Thus, one logic level (high
or low) width is exactly equivalent to the length of one
cycle. Hence, a period lasts 2 cycles.
The threshold switch indicates the ratio of periods per 2
seconds which results in the ratio of cycles per second.
Edge change of the clock generator

Cycle time
1 period = 1 pulse = 2 cycles

C LOGO! without display
The LOGO! version without display is intended for use in
specific applications not requiring operating elements such
as a keyboard or a display 12/24 RCo, LOGO! 24 RCo and
LOGO! 230 RCo.
For example, this is what a LOGO! 230 RCo looks like:

L1 N I1 I2 I3 I4 I5 I6 I7 I8

RUN/STOP

1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4

Less is definitely more!

Your benefits:
 Improved economies without the operating element.
 Requires less switch cabinet space than conventional
hardware.
 Substantial benefits with regard to flexibility and prime
costs compared to stand–alone electronic switchgear.
 Of advantage even for applications in which merely two
or three conventional switching devices can be re-
placed.
 Very easy to use.
 Cannot be used by unauthorized persons.
 Compatible with LOGO! basic variants.
 Offers the option to read data via LOGO!Soft Comfort,

LOGO! Without display

Programming without an operating element

You can program the LOGO! without display in two ways:
 On the PC, create a program with LOGO!Soft Comfort
and transfer it to the LOGO!
 Use a LOGO! program module/card and transfer the
program contained in this device to the LOGO! Without
display
Operating characteristics
The LOGO! is ready for operation when power is switched
on. Switching off a LOGO! without display is equivalent to
disconnecting the power supply, e.g. as if you remove the
plug.
LOGO! RCo versions cannot be prepared for data transfer
per keyboard and the programs cannot be started or
stopped per pushbutton. This is why the startup behavior of
LOGO! RCo versions has been slightly modified:
Startup characteristics
The program in a module/card that is plugged into the
LOGO! is copied immediately to the LOGO! after power is
switched on. An existing program is overwritten.
If a PC cable is connected the LOGO! switches automati-
cally to PC LOGO mode at startup. The PC software
LOGO!Soft Comfort can be used to read the program of
the LOGO! or to save them to the LOGO!,
After power is switched on, the LOGO! automatically
switches from STOP to RUN if a valid program exists in
memory.

228 LOGO! Manual

A5E00119092-01
 LOGO! Without display

Operating Status Indicator

Operating states, e.g. Power On, RUN and STOP are indi-
cated by an LED on the front hood.
 Red LED: Power On/STOP
 Green LED: Power On/RUN
The red LED is lit after Power On and in all LOGO! states
other than RUN. The green LED is lit when LOGO! is in
RUN mode.
Reading the operating hours counter in STOP mode
Prerequisites: The PC link must be plugged in prior to
Power On.
In LOGO!Soft Comfort as of V 3.0 (refer to Chapter 7) you
can read the MN and OT values of the hours counter. The
hours counter values can be fetched without having to en-
ter a password.
If your LOGO! without display is equipped with a red mod-
ule you cannot fetch the values of the hours counter, be-
cause when you remove the module (in order to connect
the PC link) you delete the program in the LOGO!. .
