The Siemens universal logic module LOGO! has been on the market since 1996 and
is enjoying growing popularity all over the world. Thanks to the integration of a large
number of functions at an exceptionally economical price compared with conventional
programmers, the LOGO! is able to provide solutions for a wide variety of household,
industrial and engineering tasks.
:LGHUDQJHRIDSSOLFDWLRQV
The choice of models in the LOGO! range makes it extremely versatile at adapting to
a vast range of tasks. Its ASi bus compatibility means that the LOGO! can also provide
solutions for small-scale automation tasks.
/2*26RIWSURJUDPPLQJVRIWZDUH
LOGO!Soft is a program which simulates a configured LOGO! unit on a PC. The
programming software enables control programs to be created, tested, edited,
archived and printed out on a PC. This offline programming facility considerably
improves the user-friendliness of the LOGO!. The user interface provides a graphical
representation of the unit being programmed. Once created, programs can be
transferred between the PC and the LOGO!.
/2*26RIW&RPIRUW
/2*26RIW&RPIRUWSURJUDPPLQJVRIWZDUH
LOGO!Soft Comfort makes creating control programs easier, more efficient and more
manageable than in the past. The process of creating a program involves positioning
and linking up program elements on a "drawing board".
One particularly user-friendly feature is the offline program simulation facility which
enables simultaneous display of multiple special function statuses and professional
documentation of the programs created.
:K\GRZHQHHG/2*26RIW&RPIRUW"
Certain user groups, among them planning and technical consultants and users with
PC/CAD experience, expect the LOGO! to offer a programming interface for their
equipment which does not necessarily simulate operation of the unit but chiefly
increases the ease of programming and offers good facilities for testing and
documentation.
LOGO!Soft Comfort provides Windows users with a tool which provides an even more
straightforward and convenient facility for producing control programs on a PC and
printing out detailed and clearly laid out circuit documentation.
6SHFLDOIHDWXUHVRI/2*26RIW&RPIRUW

In order to illustrate the basic functions of LOGO!Soft Comfort, we will demonstrate
the creation of a simple control program and then simulate it on the PC. The individual
functions are fully and comprehensively explained in the succeeding chapters of this
manual. Finally, the last chapter of the manual presents a complete, working example
application in LOGO!Soft Comfort. That chapter also deals with the subjects of
preparation, transfer and archiving.

In our introduction to creating circuit diagrams in LOGO!Soft Comfort, we will only
need to use the buttons on the two toolbars. For more detailed information please
refer to the succeeding chapters in this manual.
To choose a button, you point to it with the mouse pointer and then click the left
mouse button. The selected button then appears depressed.

7XWRULDO
6HOHFWLQJIXQFWLRQEORFNV
The first step in creating a circuit diagram is selecting the function blocks that are
required for the intended circuit. Whether you start with inputs and outputs, the basic
functions or the special functions is entirely up to you. The &RQVWDQWV button on the
Tools toolbar provides access to the constants and terminals, i.e. a selection of inputs
and outputs and fixed signal levels. The %DVLF)XQFWLRQV button provides a choice of
Boolean algebra functions, i.e. the simplest digital logical operation objects. To obtain
the choice of special functions available, you click the 6SHFLDO)XQFWLRQV button.
È &RQVWDQWV7HUPLQDOV
È %DVLF)XQFWLRQV
È 6SHFLDO)XQFWLRQV
3RVLWLRQLQJIXQFWLRQEORFNV
Click the button for the group of functions that contains the block you require. All the
function blocks of the selected function group are then displayed in a row to the right
of the Standard toolbar.
You can then place any of those functions on the Drawing Board simply by clicking on
the Drawing Board in the desired position. The function on the extreme left is selected
by default but you can select any of the others by clicking them with the mouse.
It is not necessary to position the objects precisely at this point. When the blocks are
linked to one another and when adding labels to the circuit, you will want to move the
blocks again to achieve the best layout for your control program. Therefore, very
precise positioning and alignment of the blocks immediately they are placed in position
is somewhat unnecessary.

7XWRULDO
%ORFNQXPEHULQJ
The block numbers can not be altered. For basic functions and special functions, block
numbering is performed automatically in the order that the blocks are positioned on
the diagram. In the case of constants and terminal blocks, instead of a block number,
the relevant LOGO! terminal description or a simple description of the block is shown.
In addition, inputs, outputs and flags can be assigned other block descriptions using
labels. The signal blocks for signal levels high and low do not have block numbers.
$VVLJQLQJSDUDPHWHUVWRIXQFWLRQEORFNV
When you double-click function blocks, a dialog box for entering the block properties
appears. In the case of all special function blocks and some basic function blocks, in
addition to the Comments tab there is also one or more tabs for parameters. This is
where you specify values or settings to be adopted by the function block in your
circuit.
Parameter
You can tell special function blocks simply by the fact that the current parameter
values are shown in green on the left of the block.
$YDLODELOLW\RIIXQFWLRQEORFNV
If you insert more functions in your circuit diagram than the function quantity structure
permits, the functions that can no longer be used are shown in gray. If the currently
selected function can no longer be used, the first function still usable immediately
becomes the selected function.
In LOGO!Soft Comfort, more functions can be used than can be implemented on

earlier LOGO! modules. As a result, creation of programs is given absolute priority. If,
when simulating a control program, you receive a message to the effect that a circuit
can not be implemented with the quantity structure of a LOGO! module, you should
first try to make full use of the options offered by the LOGO! in terms of its wide variety
of functions. For example, you could try replacing memory-intensive function blocks
with a combination of multiple function blocks that in total requires less memory.
6HH&KDSWHU0HPRU\DQG3URJUDP/LPLWV
If, despite all attempts at optimization, the desired aim is not achieved, you can use
additional LOGO! units as required or limit the functionality of your application.

7XWRULDO
1HVWLQJGHSWK
In LOGO!Soft Comfort you can only implement a certain maximum nesting depth in
your control programs. In a program path, the maximum nesting depth is 9 (7 function
blocks plus one input and one output in the path).
6HH&KDSWHU0HPRU\DQG3URJUDP/LPLWV
/LQNLQJIXQFWLRQEORFNVSURFHGXUH
To complete the circuit, the individual blocks have to be linked with one another. To do
so, you choose the Link button on the Tools toolbar.
È /LQN
Now you move the mouse pointer to the terminal pin of a block and press and hold the
left mouse button. Keeping the mouse button pressed, you move the mouse pointer to
the pin that you want to connect the first pin to and then release the mouse button.
LOGO!Soft Comfort then connects the two pins together.
You have created a link between the two block pins. Proceed in the same way for the
remaining links.
+HOSZLWKOLQNLQJIXQFWLRQEORFNV
If a link line is drawn from an output to an input, a window opens showing the
designation of the pin. When the mouse button is released, the line snaps to the input
indicated.

7XWRULDO
5XOHVIRUOLQNLQJIXQFWLRQEORFNV
The following rules apply to the linking of function blocks:
• Links can only be made between block inputs and block outputs.
• An output can be linked to more than one input but an input can not be linked to
more than one output.
• An input and an output on the same program path can not be linked with one
another (no recursion). If such a link is required, a flag or an output has to be
connected in between.
• On special functions there are also green "terminal pins". These are not
connecting pins but rather for assignment of the parameter settings shown next to
the function.
(GLWLQJWKH'LDJUDP
2SWLPL]LQJWKHYLHZ
Once the function blocks have been inserted and connected up, the control program is
complete. But there is still a little work to be done in order to obtain a sensible, in other
words clearly laid out and space-saving, view of the circuit created. Objects placed on
the circuit diagram such as function blocks and lines can be moved accordingly.
6HOHFWLQJREMHFWV
Before objects can be moved, aligned or deleted they must first be selected. To select
an object you first click the Selection tool on the Tools toolbar.
È 6HOHFWLRQWRRO
Individual blocks or connecting lines are selected simply by clicking the object
concerned; groups of blocks or connecting lines are selected by enclosing them with a
rectangle. This is done by pressing and holding the left mouse button and dragging a
rectangle to enclose objects you wish to select. When you release the mouse button,
the objects enclosed by the rectangle are selected. Selected objects are indicated by
small red squares at the corners of the selected areas.
Apart from the methods described above for selecting single and multiple objects,
there is another way you can select objects. You can select multiple objects one after
the other by holding down the [Ctrl] key as you click subsequent objects. Clicking a
selected object while holding the [Ctrl] key deselects the object concerned without
deselecting the remaining selected objects.

7XWRULDO
(GLWLQJVHOHFWHGREMHFWV
Individual or grouped objects can be deleted by pressing the [Del] key or moved by
dragging them with the mouse or the keyboard. When using the cursor keys to move
objects, they can be moved in very small steps (referred to as nudging). Selected
objects can also be cut, copied or pasted using the relevant buttons on the Standard
toolbar.
È &XWVHOHFWHGREMHFW
È &RS\VHOHFWHGREMHFW
È ,QVHUWREMHFW
(GLWLQJVHOHFWHGFRQQHFWLQJOLQHV
There is a special editing facility for connecting lines. Selected connecting lines have
round and square blue handles. The round handles can be used to move the lines at
right angles to the direction in which they extend. The square handles can be used to
connect the beginning or end of a line to a different terminal pin. The lines are moved
by dragging the handles.
If you attempt to connect the end of a line to an unsuitable pin, it automatically jumps
back to its original connection point when you release the mouse button.
6SOLWWLQJOLQNVSURFHGXUH
Large circuits can easily become difficult to follow as in LOGO!Soft Comfort line
junctions and intersections appear the same.In order to make the connections
between blocks clearer, you can use the "Split/Reconnect" button on the Tools toolbar.
È 6SOLW5HFRQQHFW
Click the button and then click on a link. The selected connecting line is graphically
split but the link between the blocks remains active. The unconnected ends of the split
link are now shown with arrowhead symbols which indicate the direction of signal
transmission. The name and pin number of the block to which the unconnected line is
linked is shown above the arrowhead symbol.

7XWRULDO
If you click on a split-link arrowhead while the Split/Reconnect button is active, the link
is reconnected.
It is not advisable to use this tool with small circuits as you can optimise the circuit
layout simply by rearranging the positions of objects.
6SOLWWLQJOLQNVDGYDQWDJHV
With larger and more complex circuits, on the other hand, there may be a large
number of connecting line intersections which can make interpretation of the circuit
very difficult. In such cases, the Split/Reconnect button is an extremely effective
means of making the layout of the circuit significantly clearer.
Another advantage of the Split/Reconnect tool becomes obvious with circuits that are
too large to fit on a single printed page, in other words which include page breaks. If
the Split/Reconnect tool is not used, connecting lines that join blocks on different
pages are cut off at the end of the page without any reference to their
origin/destination.

/DEHOV
The Label tool on the Tools toolbar allows you to create labels either as bound or
unbound text boxes. To do so, click the Label button.
È /DEHO
If you then click on a block or anywhere else on the Drawing Board, a window opens
for you to enter the label text. When you have entered the label text, simply click
anywhere outside the label window or press the [ESC] key. The window is closed and
the label text is displayed on the diagram. That label can now be selected and moved
or aligned.
%RXQGDQGXQERXQGODEHOV
Depending on whether you click on a block or a blank space on the Drawing Board,
the label you create will be bound or unbound.
If you click on a blank space on the Drawing Board, the label you create is unbound. If
you click on a block, the label you create is bound to that block. If you select a block to
which a label is bound, the label is not simultaneously selected but if you move the
block, the label moves with it. If the block is copied or cut, only the block is placed on
the Clipboard. If the block is cut from the diagram, the bound label is deleted.
However, the bound label can be individually selected and moved, copied, cut or
pasted. If a bound label is pasted from the Clipboard, it is no longer bound to the
original block.
A label can be edited by activating the Label tool and then clicking on the label to be
edited.

In the block properties dialog box you will see a Comments tab on which you can
enter a name for the function block or remarks as to the purpose of the of the block in
your circuit.

The comments entered are then displayed on the diagram as a bound label and can
be positioned as required. If the block is moved, however, the label moves with it.
Deleting the block also deletes the label.

Inputs can be configured in a variety of ways. In order to change the behavior of an
input, you choose "Tools È Simulation Parameters" from the menu bar. In the dialog
box that opens you can then define the function of the input switch. A choice of three
options is offered:
• Switch
• Key
• Frequency
A key is only active while it is held down. As soon as it is released and is no longer
depressed, the contact is open again. A switch remains active after being pressed and
released and is not deactivated until it is pressed again. The frequency of a frequency
input can be preset or changed while the simulation is running. The frequency should
be entered in Hz. A frequency input is a special case in this context as it should only
be used with the trigger special function block.

The status of an output or flag is indicated by a light or dark bulb symbol. Below the
bulb symbol is the designation of the output in your control program.

The output status icons are purely status indicators. They are not buttons for operating
the output. When your control program activates an output, the bulb is shown switched
on; an inactive output is indicated by a switched off bulb.
Outputs are identified by the letter Q for outputs and M for flags. Some outputs may
have the identification letters Qa, in which case they are outputs for the ASi bus (only
available on the applicable LOGO! models).

A program path consists of a series of function blocks starting with a terminal block
and ending with an output block. The number of function blocks in a program path
indicates the nesting depth.

Terminal blocks for the purposes of determining nesting depth are:

• Inputs (I, Ia)
• High, Low (Hi, Lo)
• Flags (M)
• Outputs (Q, Qa)
Outputs for the purposes of determining nesting depth are:
• Outputs (Q, Qa)
• Flags (M)
1HVWLQJGHSWK
There is a maximum nesting depth that you can implement in your control program for
a LOGO! module. The maximum nesting depth in a program path is 9 blocks.
The following equation therefore results:
1 Terminal block
+ 7 Function blocks
+ 1 Output block
Max. program path nesting level: 9 Blocks
If a program path that exceeds the maximum nesting depth is entered in LOGO!Soft
Comfort, an error message is displayed if you attempt to perform a download or
simulation.

,PSOHPHQWLQJORQJSURJUDPSDWKV
Longer program paths can be implemented by means of signal feedback. This is done
by placing a flag block at the end of a path. The remaining function blocks are
connected to the output of the flag. The LOGO! interprets the flag as the output of the
first program path and as the terminal block of the succeeding function blocks. On the
LOGO! the long path with the flag is treated as two separate paths. If no more flags
are available, you can use an output block instead.

%ORFNVDQG%ORFN1XPEHUV

Blocks symbolize terminals or functions. In LOGO!Soft Comfort various types of block
are distinguished and identified by abbreviations.

Whenever you insert a function block in your control program, LOGO!Soft Comfort
assigns that block a number, the block number. On the LOGO! and in LOGO!Soft, the
number of the current block is shown at the top right of the display. In LOGO!Soft
Comfort, the block number is shown directly above the block.
Block numbers assist navigation around the LOGO! display and the assignment of
links. In LOGO!Soft Comfort you can also trace back split links by the block number
indicated.
The block designations of the inputs and outputs can be changed by means of the
parameter assignment facility. In this case the designations are a representation of the
real inputs and outputs on the LOGO! module. A specific input or output can be
selected by means of the parameter assignment facility.
The blocks High and Low are not assigned numbers as they do not change their
switching condition and therefore do not have to be distinguished.

Input blocks represent the input terminals on a LOGO! module. Up to 12 inputs can be
used. Using the block parameter assignment facility, an individual input block can also
be assigned a different input terminal. However, the choice of inputs only includes

Flag blocks apply the same signal to their outputs that is applied to their inputs. Flags
can be used to increase the nesting level of a path by connecting a flag block to the
output of the path. Up to 4 flags can be used. Using the block parameter assignment
facility, an individual flag can also be assigned a different flag number. However, the
choice of flag numbers only includes those that have not already been assigned in the
control program.

If the signal level ’1’ or ’H’ is to be applied constantly to the input of a block then it
should be assigned the fixed signal KL (stands for high). Blocks for representing fixed

If the signal level ’0’ or ’L’ is to be applied constantly to the input of a block then it
should be assigned the fixed signal OR (stands for low). Blocks for representing fixed

Nowadays, private households are more and more frequently making use of rainwater
alongside the mains domestic water supply. This saves money and helps protect the
environment. Rainwater can be used for the following, for example:
• washing clothes,
• watering the garden,
• watering indoor plants,
• washing the car or
• flushing the toilet.
With a suitable system, rainwater can be collected and used for those types of
purposes instead of the mains water.

([DPSOH$SSOLFDWLRQV
'HVFULSWLRQRIV\VWHP
The rainwater is collected in a large water butt. From the water butt it is pumped by a
pumping station into a piping system provided for it. From there it can be drawn off in
the same way as the normal household water supply. If the water butt should run dry,
it can be topped up with mains water.
A program is to be created which meets the requirements of a control system for such
an installation.

A pump and a solenoid valve are controlled by means of a pressure switch and 3 float
switches that are fitted in the rainwater butt. The pump must be switched on when the
pressure in the cylinder falls below the minimum level. Once the operating pressure
has been reached, the pump is switched off again following a short overrun period.
The overrun period prevents the pump continuously cutting in and out if water is drawn
off for a prolonged period.

control program layout is not particularly clear. In order to "tidy up" the Drawing Board,
you now select connecting lines and, if necessary, blocks and move them around or
align them to obtain the best layout for the control program.

If you are left with undesirable but unavoidable intersections between connecting
lines, the offending lines can be split using the Split/Reconnect tool. This further
improves the clarity of the diagram as it prevents difficulties interpreting the circuit.
Otherwise it is difficult in LOGO!Soft Comfort to distinguish between connecting line
intersections and junctions.
The program is now finished. Check once again that all connections have been made
and set your parameters as you require.

To test out the control program, you switch to simulation mode. When you start the
simulation, LOGO!Soft Comfort checks the program and returns a message that you
can view by opening the Message Window. The statistics and any error messages are
shown. It also lists the LOGO! models that you can use to implement your project.
However, it is not absolutely essential to open the Message Window. The minimum
LOGO! model required to run your program is also displayed at the bottom left of the
screen on the Status Bar.

Although you already know that your program will run on a LOGO! module, you still
have to check that it will actually work as you intend it to. You may also want to adjust
certain parameters. You can try out different input values, check the behavior of the
system in the event of a power failure and compare your calculations or expectations
with the actual behavior of the outputs.
The characteristics of the float switches and the pressure switch are the same as for
keys. If, however, you wish to simulate the behavior of your circuit, for testing
purposes simply change the function of the inputs from keys to switches.
If everything runs as expected, or when you have made any final corrections
necessary, you can set about documenting your program.

Now add comments to your program using the Label tool. Give the inputs and outputs
descriptions and make your circuit easy to follow. You do not have to have the
terminal descriptions displayed on the screen. Nevertheless, you should make use of
the facility so that you can print out a terminal list at some point if you wish.

You may also need a version of your program in LOGO!Soft format or perhaps you
want to combine a program created in LOGO!Soft with your LOGO!Soft Comfort
program. If so, you can use the import and export functions to carry out the necessary
program conversions. You import a program by opening the file.

Last of all, you download your program to a suitable LOGO! module and then connect
the module up. Connect the LOGO! module to the consumer units in your project.
Within a very short space of time, you have now created a control program in
LOGO!Soft Comfort which would have required much more time and effort using the
conventional method.

To give you an idea of how versatile LOGO! modules are, we have put together a
collection of other applications in addition to the domestic water pump application
described in detail above. The examples referred to here are taken from the LOGO!
manual. In the LOGO! manual they are described in more detail, in other words
showing the conventional solution and comparing it with the simpler solution using a
LOGO! module.
Here in the LOGO!Soft Comfort manual, we have given a description of the task
followed by the finished solution created in LOGO!Soft Comfort. The control programs
illustrated are also included on the LOGO!Soft Comfort CD-ROM.

The LOGO! applications are provided free of charge to our customers. The examples
described within them are provided without guarantee and for the purposes of general
information as to the possible applications of LOGO! modules and the LOGO!Soft
Comfort software. Customer-specific solutions may differ from them.
The user is responsible for ensuring that the system operates properly. We would also
draw your attention to to the need to comply with any applicable local standards and
system-related installation regulations.

The basic requirements for a stairwell lighting system in an apartment block are as
follows:
• When someone is using the stairs, the stairwell lights should be on.
• If no-one is in the stairwell, the lights should go out in order to save energy.
&RQYHQWLRQDOVROXWLRQ
Conventionally, there have been two ways to control such a lighting system as follows:
• Pulse relay: when the lights are off, pressing any of the push buttons switches the
lights on. When the lights are on, pressing any of the push buttons switches the
lights off again.
Disadvantage: people frequently forget to switch the lights off.
• Automatic stairwell lighting timer: when any one of the push buttons is pressed,
the lights are switched on. When a preset time has elapsed, the lights switch off
again automatically.
Disadvantage: you can’t keep the lights switched on for an extended period. The
permanent on switch is usually on the stairwell lighting timer unit which may be
difficult or impossible to gain access to.
The wiring for the two lighting systems is identical.

([DPSOH$SSOLFDWLRQV
/2*26RIW&RPIRUWVROXWLRQ
You can use a LOGO! module to replace the stairwell lighting timer or the pulse relay.
And you can implement both functions (timed OFF delay and pulse relay) in a single
unit. What is more, you can incorporate extra functions without making any alterations
to the wiring. In our example program we have combined the advantages of both the
pulse relay and the automatic stairwell lighting timer as follows:
• Press push button È lights come on then go off again after the preset delay of 6
minutes (OFF delay)
• Press push button twice È lights come on and stay on indefinitely (the latching
relay is set by the pulse relay)
• Press and hold push button for 2 seconds È lights go off (ON delay switches
lights off - whether on indefinitely or for timed period - in the circuit this branch is
used twice)
The external wiring for the lighting system using a LOGO! module is no different from
the conventional method of wiring a stairwell lighting system. Only the automatic
lighting timer/pulse relay is replaced.
/2*26RIW&RPIRUWSURJUDP
The control program shows the circuit for an input and corresponding output. You use
the OFF delay B02 to set the length of the timed "lights on" period and blocks B03 and
B08 to set the time the push button has to be held to switch the lights off.

You can duplicate the circuit for the remaining inputs and outputs. For example, you
could replace 4 automatic lighting timers or 4 pulse relays with just one LOGO!
module.

The purpose of a ventilation system is either to bring fresh air into a room or to extract
stale air from a room. Let us consider the following example arrangement:
• A room contains an extractor fan and a fresh-air fan.
• Both fans are monitored by a flow sensor.
• The pressure in the room must not be allowed to rise above atmospheric
pressure.
• The fresh-air fan must only be switched on provided reliable functioning of the
extractor fan is signalled by the flow sensor.
• A warning lamp indicates if one of the fans fails.
The fans are monitored by flow sensors. If, after a short delay, no air flow is
registered, the system is switched off and a fault reported which can be reset by
pressing the OFF button.
Monitoring of the fans requires an analyzer circuit with several switching devices in
addition to the flow sensors. The analyzer circuit can be replace by a single LOGO!
module.
If you use a LOGO! module you require less switchgear. That saves you installation
time and space in the control cabinet. Under certain circumstances it may even allow
you to use as a smaller control cabinet.
With a LOGO! module you can also stagger shut off of the fans after the system is
switched off.

([DPSOH$SSOLFDWLRQV
The system is switched on and off at the inputs I1 and I2. The fans are connected to
outputs Q1 and Q2 and the inputs I3 and I4 are connected to the flow sensors. Blocks
B07 and B10 are used to set the times after which the flow sensors must send a signal
to the fault output Q3.

By negating output Q3 you can also use an output Q4 as a message output. Relay Q4
only drops out if the mains power fails or if there is a fault in the system. The output
can then be used for a remote fault indicator.

The entrances to factory grounds are frequently secured by sliding gates. Those gates
are only opened when vehicles need to enter or leave the factory grounds. The gate
controls are operated by the porter.
• The sliding gate is opened and closed by the operation of a push button in the
gatehouse. The porter is able to monitor the operation of the gate at the same
time.
• The sliding gate is normally fully opened or closed. However, movement of the
gate can be halted at any time.
• A flashing light is activated 5 seconds before the gate is operated and while the
gate is in motion.
• A safety pressure strip ensures that persons are not injured or objects trapped and
damaged when the gate shuts.
There is a wide variety of control systems that are used for operating automatic gates.
The OPEN and CLOSE buttons move the gate in the appropriate direction provided it
is not already moving in the other direction. Movement of the gate is halted by the
STOP button or the relevant limit switch.
In addition to the facilities of the conventional control system, the LOGO! module
solution usas a safety strip which stops the gate closing. 5 seconds before the gate is
opened or closed, a flashing light is activated which signals that the gate is about to
start moving and continues to flash until the gate has stopped moving.
In contrast with the conventional solution, the LOGO! module solution of course allows
modifications to be made to the control system easily and economically.

([DPSOH$SSOLFDWLRQV
The gate is opened and closed by means of push buttons I1 and I2 and a push button
connected to I3 can be used to stop the gate. The limit switches for the gate are
connected to the inputs I4 and I5 and the safety strip to I6. The motor for moving the
gate is controlled via outputs Q1 and Q2 and the flashing light is connected to Q3.
Blocks B05 and B07 are used to set the delay period between when the push button is
pressed and when the gate starts moving. Block B16 is used to set the flashing
frequency of the warning light.

An uncoiler feeds a coiled strip of sheet metal into a punch. The basic requirements
for an uncoiler are as follows:
• The metal strip fed in must not be allowed to curl
• The tension on the metal strip must not exceed a specified maximum level
• If the tension on the metal strip is too great, the punch must be switched off
A key-operated switch is used to change between automatic and manual operation. In
manual mode, the uncoiler can be switched on and off with a push button. Three more
switches monitor the tension on the metal strip and switch the punch off if it is too taut.
With a LOGO! module, the necessary circuit can be considerably simplified by virtue
of the fact that connection of the required switches, warning lamps and master
contactor to the LOGO! is all that is required.
Using a LOGO! module, you need less switchgear and less wiring. That saves you
installation time and space in the control cabinet. Under certain circumstances it may
even allow you to use as a smaller control cabinet.
Inputs I1 to I3 are used to connect the controls for the system. The system’s internal
switches for checking the metal strip are connected to inputs I4 to I6. Outputs Q1 to
Q3 are used to control the master contactor for the uncoiler motor and the enabling
signal for the punch and the warning lamp.
