Visualisation with LOGO! 8

System

The experiments are carried out with the LOGO! 8 small controller from Siemens. The logic module is mounted on a base plate and suspended in the profile frame. The students should program the LOGO! 8 and learn the essential functions of Small Controllers, as well as Process Visualisation on an HMI.

Learning objectives

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

Characteristics

The teaching system consists of:

• LOGO8! 12/24 RCE
• EXPANSION MODULE LOGO! DM8 12/24R
• LOGO! Soft Comfort
• Small Controllers base plate
• HMI touch panel KTP700 Basic

Description of the Small Controllers base plate

• 14 digital inputs and 10 transistor outputs connected to the base plate via 4 mm safety sockets.
• Inputs can be wired using the built-in switches with latching and push-button function.
• Sockets can be set to 24 V.
• Analogue signal processing is possible via two analogue inputs and two analogue outputs.
• Control unit with Ethernet interface (RJ 45)
• Control voltage: 24 V DC

Description of the HMI touch panel

• Screen diagonal: 7 inch
• Screen resolution: 800 x 480 pixels

Method

Carrying out student experiments according to the tasks in the experiment description.
