Basic Package LOGO! 8

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.
