The synergy between EPLAN macros and Siemens hardware culminates in the transfer of data.
Siemens actually provides a dedicated EPLAN Data Portal. If you have an active subscription:
Dragging a LOGO! 8.3 from the navigator takes 2 seconds. Adding all 8 digital inputs, 4 relays, the analog input, and the power supply terminals takes minutes. With a macro, you drag, drop, and rename. That’s it. Siemens Logo Eplan P8 Macro
There are two primary ways to obtain these macros:
Don't just macro the LOGO! alone. Macro common assemblies: The synergy between EPLAN macros and Siemens hardware
Create a schematic page with the following properties:
The Siemens LOGO! is a compact, intelligent logic module designed for small to medium-scale automation tasks. Unlike a full-blown PLC, the LOGO! is perfect for applications like: For handoff to commissioning: provide mapping between LOGO
Key variants include the LOGO! 8.3 (and newer 8.4), featuring integrated Ethernet, web servers, and a TIA Portal compatibility mode. In an electrical schematic, a LOGO! device includes the main module, expansion modules (DM8, AM2, etc.), and power supplies.
