Depending on the source (Siemens’ own EPLAN Data Portal or third-party macro libraries), you get:
| LOGO! Model | Macro Types | Features | |------------|-------------|----------| | LOGO! 12/24 RCE (0BA8) | 2D multi-line, PLC box | 8 DI, 4 relay DO, analog inputs, Ethernet | | LOGO! 12/24 RC (0BA7) | 2D single-line | 8 DI, 4 DO, optional display | | LOGO! AM2 AQ | Macro module for expansion | 2 analog outputs | | LOGO! DM8 24R | Digital expansion macro | 4 DI, 4 DO relay | | LOGO! CMR2020 | Communication macro | IoT gateway integration |
Most macros are offered in EPLAN V2.7 to 2024 compatible formats. Siemens Logo Eplan P8 Macrol
Siemens offers the CAx Download Manager. This tool allows you to select specific LOGO! variants (Basic, Pure, Comfort, or SIPLUS extreme) and download the corresponding EPLAN macro files (.edz or .ema).
Let's enhance the macro to automatically insert and connect terminals: Depending on the source (Siemens’ own EPLAN Data
Macro Parameters:
Before building the macro, you must understand the physical I/O mapping of the target device. Let’s take the LOGO! 8.3 (6ED1052-1MD08-0BA1) as our example. Siemens offers the CAx Download Manager
A proper macro must represent at least the main circuit (Power) and the Control circuit (Inputs/Outputs) on separate EPLAN pages.
