PLCLogo Binding - problems and possible solutions

Hello to All,
I try to express my self better explaining some problems and solutions to PLCLogo binding. I did some test with a Logo 8.

  • memory things: when you bind to a single bit for example VB20.0 and you channel to a switch item, I am sorry, but it doesn’t work.

  • digital things: you have the following blocks I,Q,M,NI,NQ. These blocks according to documentation are “channelled” to items type I - contact, Q - switch, M - switch, NI - contact, NQ - switch.
    For me this binding is wrong. The correct binding should be: I - contact, Q - contact, M - contact, NI - switch, NQ - contact.
    The Logo Plc is an active device with it’s internal logic. So OpenHab should work as a simple SCADA software. I and Q are physically connected to PLC input and output pins so OpenHab should just treat them as contact. M are flag being set or reset by internal PLC logic so OpenHab should only “read them” (contact). NI (network inputs) are the digital entry point for a remote device so OpenHab should manage them as switch. NQ (networ outputs) are software outputs being read remotely so OpenHab should treat them as contact.

I hope i was clear and I hope the author of this useful binding will take in consideration my observations
Regards!

OpenHAB Switch type Items can be sent commands, bindings normally forward these on to the device.

OpenHAB Contact type Items are binary go/nogo like switches, but cannot be sent commands. It’s a reasonable choice for a binary read-only input.
