Ways of working in LOGOSoft

Hi,

As I said in other post, I'm new with LOGO and LOGOSoft and I'm trying v8.3.

The software has 2 modes, diagram mode and network project.

From diagram mode I can create new diagrams and all of them are saved separatly.

From network project I can save with a diferent file extension and It has also a diagram when I insert a device.

Watching videos on Youtube, I can see that almost everybody works in diagram mode, but I also check a pdf of Siemens training and they create a project and don't work in Diagram mode.

I'm very confused about that. I was seeing many videos and pdfs and I didn't find an explanation about two modes and when to work in each one.

Which is the best way to work? Diagram mode or network project? Or when in each one?

Thanks in advance

Use .lsc mode (diagram mode).The network project version (.mnp) does not add anything to individual LOGO programming. And even with .lsc, you can create connections to other devices (another LOGO, HMI, Modbus or S7 device, as ixo65 mentioned) via the Network Connections drop down menu item.

When LSC (LogoSoft Comfort) starts, it automatically opens the last opened .lsc files. You have to open .mnp files manually from the file menu, they are not read automatically.

One big plus of Network project mode (.mnp) is the possibility to search (scan)b for S7 devices on the network (for example, if you don't know the LOGO IP address). In other respects, it simply wastes working space on screen when working with your LOGO program.
