Specification & Documentation
with logi.DOC
Develop function plans and sequential function charts (SFC) with logi.DOC power…
more efficiently and with integrated quality
assurance. You choose the engineering standard – we have the tool for you! Because
your standard is our standard!
Efficient & powerful
The components of the logi.DOC platform support
engineers in all phases of development and with
using functional specifications. This starts with the
design of the core logics and continues with simulation,
test and documentation. Use the efficient version
management for successful and convenient teamwork.
Create high-quality, freely designable documentation
including revisions – even multi-lingual
– with the help of logi.DICT.
Comprehensive & flexible
Supporting multi-screen desktops, MS Office document
embedding as well as innovative functions in
its FBD editor, logi.DOC meets all requirements for a
universal documentation platform. State-of-the-art
performance features facilitate your work in any project
phase. You decide yourself which standard you
want to meet: NAMUR NA 50, VGB-R170 C, ISA S5.2,
IEC 61131-3, VDI/VDE 3696, DIN 60848 (DIN 40719)
or your own standard. logi.DOC supports you right
from the start.
logi.DOC & logi.CAD
Together, logi.DOC and logi.CAD make an extremely
efficient bridge between functional specification
and programming. In logi.DOC, the functions of the
plant to be realized are defined and documented.
Afterwards, the resulting plans are handed over to
the application programmer who improves them and
does the final coding in logi.CAD.
“Convincing technology”
“logi.DOC is the only software package that I have
been able to find that presents the machine functionality
in a format that can be understood by all
people in a project. This is a great advantage. In
addition, the final layout produced is of a high quality
and adds professionalism to the documentation that
forms part of each contract.”

Intelligence in the Plan
Functional Specification
Well-structured right from the start
Do not just draw “pictures” but create structured and standardized plans. Use plausibility checks and permanently upto-date
cross-references. By using „types“ you can eliminate many troublesome sources of errors right from the beginning, even with
subsequent changes.
Logics and SFC view
Various options for cross-references
Cross-references in logi.DOC are intelligent, dynamic comments
coming from the current context of the function plan.
Documentation and navigation are supported by extensive
cross-reference options. logi.DOC also allows full cross-references and source/sink cross-references according to standard
VGB-R170 C.
VGB-R170C logic plans & document management
Programming languages
In addition to FBD (Function Block Diagram) in a variety of
standards, other languages of the IEC 61131-3, such as Structured
Text (ST) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) can be
used. The efficiency of SFCs is increased by macro steps and
overview SFCs.
Project Management
You emulate the structure of your plant within logi.DOC “Project
Management”. The system supports you with observing
project engineering regulations and (power) plant classification
systems such as AKS and KKS (plant and power plant
identification systems).
Project wide signal list management
Signals and measuring points are usually handled in crosstool
databases and contain all information required for the
description of variables. You can easily connect logi.DOC
signal list management with your database and you can use
already existing signals right away in your plans.
Documentation
Document management with logic plans - binary and analog
Your standard is our standard
You decide yourself which standard to follow when creating
function plans. It is the same whether your documentation
must meet standard Namur NA50, your plans should comply
with VGB-R170 C, ISA S5.2, IEC 61131-3, VDI/VDE 3696 or DIN
60848 (DIN 40719) or your own standard – logi.DOC supports
you in doing so! Due to the flexibility of the editors you can
design the project structure, naming conventions, blocks,
pages and other documentation properties freely and adjust
them to various design requirements.
Flexible project/object templates,
forms and layouts
The logi.DOC standard package contains many project and
object templates to facilitate your work. In addition to the
supplied templates you can easily integrate templates of your
own. Various customizable plot frames for clear and highquality
documentation are available.
Integrated Help-system
for user-created function blocks
With the integrated logi.DOC help-system you can create
multi-lingual documentation for your own standard function
blocks.
Plans close to reality
Add extra information to your plans, even in the background:
Instance data brings your plans close to reality and you can
retrieve from them information about boards, devices, mounting
locations etc being used. In addition, these data serve for
generating limiting value lists for exchange with process control,
PLC and control programs.
Revision-controlling documents management
In addition to the automatic generation of documents, logi.
DOC document management supports you with managing
and sorting external documents and embedding them into
the master documentation. Document management creates
output revisions for function plan documents.
Less Workload - Better Results
Productivity
Quality
All kinds of interfaces
From other planning tools you can take tag lists over to
logi.DOC, manage measuring point lists and use them
in your plans. The open signal database interface allows
direct connections to your other tools, including dynamic
and interactive cross-references. Export your plans
to XML or migrate them directly to the IEC 61131-3 automation platform, logi.CAD.
Avoid errors by central modification
The consistent management and representation of signals,
function blocks and plans reduces the number of errors
and also allows subsequent central modifications in libraries
and in the signal database. Due to the online update
after modifications and to the error and version monitoring
of your plans, you can guarantee the consistency of
your documents at any time.
Create once – use many
Do you have to create similar function plans frequently?
Benefit from the work you have already done and create
new logic and function plans from your pool of solutions.
The „Typical-Import“ feature accelerates your work
remarkably. Generate complete function plans from
unparameterized templates or existing projects with significantly less effort… automatically and batch-driven.
Offline Simulation with Instant-Reload
Using the module “Offline Simulation”, you can test the
designed functionality before commissioning and therefore
detect and remove errors at an early stage. „InstantReload“ allows changes of the logics while the offline simulation is running.
Export options & further processing
Your work will not only be available as a hard-copy output.
A multitude of output options accelerates the workflow
from planning until implementation due to a
consistent and open data basis. You know which software
and hardware you need (I/Os, control cabinet slots).
Long-term reliability & protection of investment
The platform-independent design of your plans guarantees
sustainability of the realized solutions. Creating
your own templates and libraries with a user-defined
help-system allows efficient design from project to project.
As logi.DOC supports the standardized PLCopen
format “TC6 – XML”, you can re-use your plans in any
standard environment.
Modification logs and Version ManagementJede
Any change in your function plan can be documented per
sheet. This is particularly useful if you work in teams. With
“Version Management” you can save and manage several
versions of your plans.
logi.DOC FAT
During the acceptance procedure of the realized plant
project, logi.DOC is supported by the new component
logi.DOC FAT. This component helps you with the „Factory
Acceptance Test“ (FAT) and with on-site commissioning.
All information in the plan
You can overlay your function plan with all available information, i.e. additional information you entered, texts, pictures
or OLE objects, shortcuts to current information on
used elements (standards, requirements specifications,
hardware/software) and hyperlinks. Put information in
your plan just where you need it.

Runtime system logi.RTS connects the automation
application with the operating system of the target
hardware. This environment provides process data of
the automation system and processes it in cyclical and
event triggered procedures. Multi-tasking and resourcing,
i.e. several virtual controls on one CPU, is standard
of logi.RTS.
Runtime Environment II
PLC runtime system logi.μRTS maps resources that are
engineered in logi.CAD to single-tasking systems.
logi.μRTS is specially optimized for use with micro
controllers or micro systems without multi-tasking
operating systems.
