A macro in EPLAN serves as a container for standardized design elements. When designing with Siemens LOGO!, macros provide several distinct advantages:
This macro shows the LOGO! in traditional multi-line representation. Each input and output has its own wire connection. This is used for the main power and control schematics.
Create a schematic page with the following properties:
Downloading a file is useless if you cannot install it. The standard file extension for Siemens LOGO! macros is .EDZ (EPLAN Data Zip). Here is the professional import procedure:
Manually drafting the I/O for a LOGO! 8 with four digital inputs and four relay outputs, plus an optional AM2 analog module, takes effort. A macro reduces that to a drag-and-drop.
If a specific LOGO! configuration is not available, engineers can create custom macros.
| Point Type | Count | Designation | Potential type | |------------|-------|-------------|----------------| | Power supply L1/L2/L3/N | 2/3 | L, N (or L+, M) | AC/DC | | Digital inputs | 4/8 per module | I1..I8 | Digital input | | Digital outputs | 4/8 per module | Q1..Q8 | Digital output | | Analog inputs | 0-2 (depending on model) | AI1..AI2 | Analog input | | Ethernet (if present) | 1 | X1 | Ethernet |
