System
The experiments are carried out with the small controller LOGO! 8 from Siemens. The logic module is set on a base plate and hung in a profile frame. The students are expected to program the LOGO! 8 and learn the main functions of small controllers in the process.
Objectives
- Operating a small controller.
- Creating programs.
- Learning logistics and control functions.
- Testing the programs
- Configuring network connections
Characteristics
The learning system is comprised of:
- LOGO8! 12/24 RCE
- EXPANSION MODULE LOGO! DM8 12/24R
- Base plate small controller
Description of the base plate small controller
- 14 digital inputs and 10 transistor outputs connected with the base plate via a 4 mm safety connector
- Inputs can be wired with the notch and push function with the incorporated switches.
- Connectors can be designed for 24 V.
- Analogue signals can be processed over two analogue inputs and two analogue outputs.
- Control device with ethernet interface (RJ 45)
- Control voltage: 24 V DC
Method
Student experiments are carried out following the tasks set in the experiment description.
Target Group
Students completing vocational training in electrical engineering for a trade or industry are the target group addressed. The course conveys knowledge on an intermediate level.
