LOGO! 8 - Impressions LOGO! 8 - in Overview To the top of the page The new generation of logic modules LOGO!8 New Generation 8 basic units for all voltages, with or without display All units come with an Ethernet interface, narrow like LOGO! 6 (4TE); and connections are compatible with previous versions Integrated web server in all basic units Display features a new look and feel Seven digital modules and three analog modules Digital outputs increased to 20 and analog outputs to 8 To the top of the page Display with a new look and feel LOGO!8 Display A new 6-line display with 16 characters per line means twice as many characters per message, making it possible to clearly formulate message texts Display with clear operator information and fewer abbreviations for message texts as well as status information that is easier to read, easily understood menu options for operations, and more sophisticated diagnostic options via the display Selectable white, orange, and red backlighting for many new options, such as the ability to optically emphasize alarm and alert status To the top of the page Ethernet for all – the new standard with LOGO! 8 LOGO! 8 Ethernet Integrated Ethernet interface for the entire LOGO! 8 product family. This makes it possible for LOGO! modules to communicate with each other and with all SIMATIC S7 systems via Ethernet The Ethernet interface eliminates the need for additional cables for programming or for TDE; only the standard Ethernet cable is required With the LOGO! CSM add-on module as an Ethernet 4-port switch expanding the Ethernet interfaces, cost-effective small local Ethernet networks can be implemented To the top of the page Integrated web server – it couldn’t be easier LOGO! 8 Webserver Integrated web server in all basic units for monitoring and control with LOGO! via WLAN and the Internet; passwordprotected and suitable for all conventional browsers The web server is easy to configure via mouse click in the software; no HTML programming knowledge required Users can freely select the desired display options to match the LOGO! display or the TDE display. Check a box for the web server – done! LOGO! 8 can be operated via smartphone, tablet, or PC with the same look and feel as the LOGO! 8 or TDE display; LOGO! 8 router connection required To the top of the page Remote communications via cellular phone network LOGO! 8 Remote And completely new – text message communications for alerts and remote control via cell phone using the LOGO! CMR module Text messaging for active automatic alerts regarding system status Position recognition and tracking via GPS, e.g. for costeffective container tracking and position reporting via text message to a central office CMR2020 can exchange data with LOGO! 8, send text messages independently, and read control commands from text messages, introduce them to LOGO! 8, and even synchronize to local time worldwide To the top of the page New text display LOGO! TDE The new LOGO! TDE with two Ethernet interfaces Same mounting dimensions as before Improved display with 6 lines and 20 characters per line now has more than twice as many characters as before for messages in plain text As in the LOGO! display, the new TDE offers selectable white, orange, and red backlighting for optical emphasis, etc. To the top of the page New software in a new design LOGO!
