New advantages, old strengths
The status of the inputs and outputs are transferred to the
PC via the Ethernet interface and are documented there
in an Excel table, for example. However, the new software
also facilitates programming for users of the previous
LOGO!: Function blocks can be exchanged without having
to create new connections. The simplified handling in-
cludes additional capabilities for aligning the blocks and
the additional linking of comments.
The new basic devices are fully compatible with the old
ones, apart from the increased width of the devices
(108 mm instead of 72 mm), which is due to the imple-
mented innovations. They have the built-in display, cursor
keys, and the familiar signal ports. Therefore, with their
expanded functionality, they can completely replace the
old 0BA6 basic devices.
In addition, all of the old expansion modules can be used
on the new basic devices without restrictions. The only
thing that must be noted is that an Ethernet cable is re-
quired in order to directly transfer an existing program
from one PC to one of the new basic devices.
Of course, the new generation of devices are also
characterized by the proven strengths of LOGO!: from the
flexible, modular design and easy creation of programs,
project simulation and documentation by means of
drag & drop to the built-in display with HMI functionality.
