JasperPack: The 5-Minute "Get it Done" Guide (No Coding Required)

Knowledge Base
1

If you don’t know how to code, the instructions below are for you.

There’s no complex manual or engineering stuff here. This is about one thing: proving to yourself that you can program a PLC with plain English in the next 5 minutes.

Assuming you have one of these: JasperX - Starter Pack

Let’s get it done.

Step 1: Power Up

  1. Plug (or wire) the main power supply into a 240V outlet.
  2. You should see lights on the Power Supply, the ControlMate mini PC, and the Siemens LOGO! PLC.

Step 2: Get Connected (Choose ONE path)

This is how your laptop talks to the JasperNode PC. You only need to do one of these.

Path A: The Easy Way (Use Your Office/Home Router)

(This is the recommended first step)

  1. Plug a standard Ethernet cable (like the one for your internet) from a spare port on your router into the “WAN” port on the ControlMate mini PC.
  2. Make sure your laptop is connected to that same router network (e.g., your office WiFi).
  3. Open your web browser (Chrome or Edge) and type this in the address bar:
    http://cm24.local (Or whatever serial number is on the sticker of your ControlMate)

Path B: The “In the Field” Way (Use Your Phone)

(Use this if you don’t have a router handy)

  1. On your phone, go to your “Personal Hotspot” settings.
  2. Change the settings to exactly this (this is critical):
    • Network Name: JasperWiFi
    • Password: JasperX!
  3. Turn your phone’s hotspot ON.
  4. On your laptop, connect to the new JasperWiFi network.
  5. Open your web browser (Chrome or Edge) and type this in the address bar:
    http://cm24.local (Or whatever serial number is on the sticker of your ControlMate)

Step 3: The “Magic Moment” (Tell the PLC What to Do)

If you see the JasperNode website, you’re in. This is the moment of truth.

  1. Click the AI Agent and in the chat box at the bottom, type this command and hit Enter:

    “Toggle the first relay on the LOGO! of this JasperPack every 5 seconds”

  2. The AI will think for a second and generate the connectors, tags and the code for you.

  3. Follow the AI Agent instructions.

Now, look at the actual Siemens LOGO! PLC on your desk. The little light for the first output (Q1) will turn on.

You just programmed a PLC without writing a single line of code.
