Basic Package LOGO! 8

System

The experiments are carried out with the LOGO! 8 small controller from Siemens. The logic module is placed on a base plate and mounted in the profile frame. The LOGO! 8 programming and the essential functions of Small Controllers are to be learnt.

Learning objectives

• Operating a Small Controllers.
• Creating programmes.
• Learning logical and control functions.
• Testing programmes.
• Setting up network connections

Characteristics

The teaching system consists of:

• LOGO8! 12/24 RCE
• EXTENSION MODULE LOGO! DM8 12/24R
• LOGO! Soft Comfort
