Hi,

My mind is burning with colors....

The Logo 8 Help Manual says:

"Creating local connections through drag-and-drop. LOGO!Soft Comfort enables you to create Ethernet connections in the same LAN (Local Area Network) by dragging and dropping. Simply click a connector of the source LOGO! Base Module, drag to the desired conector on the target LOGO! Base Module, and release the left button.Result: LOGO!Soft Comfort connects the two connectors with a blue line. The currently selected line is blue; both blue and green lines are configurable."

Beginning a new LAN Project I did exactly was recommended, linkink from Logo_1 to Logo_2. A blue line appeared. Clicking in this line, the source Logo_1 assumed as Client and the target Logo_2 as Server. OK.

After that, I did a test, programming the Logos creating a dependence one to each other. A gray line appeared. Clicking in this line, the  Logo_1 assumed as Server and Logo_2 as Client. It seens  logic to me, because Logo_2 "works under a order" from Logo_1.

No physical test. Addresses was not changed.

My doubts are:

1. Is it necessary to create a link line between the Logo's before programming, if a link line will be done automatically?

2. The two links blue and gray won´t be in conflit?

3. The gray color means what? It will change after phisical connections and check communications?

3. Except to remove the conection, what can I configure with the green line?

Hi Forni,

I think this FAQ will also be useful for you: There you will find screenshots and a sample project with two Logo! 8 Modules.

How do you monitor a connection between two LOGO! 8 basic modules?

 Regards,

Towome
