New Logo! logic units have option of local/remote display

The new 0BA6 series Logo! logic modules are suitable for universal use in industry and building systems. Typical applications include lighting controls, car washes and access controls, aquarium systems, rubbish compactors, strapping machines, axle lubrication systems on trains and feeding systems in cattle rearing, as well as pressure intensifiers and pumping stations.

With four lines of 12 characters each on the new text display, 50 different four-line messages can be configured with expanded display options such as ticker text, bar graph or toggle parameters. Up to 32 characters per line can be stored for continuous ticker text. Furthermore, the external text display is not dependent on the internal text display. For example, messages relevant to an operation can be displayed on a separate text display and service-related information can be displayed in the control cabinet.

The new logic modules and internal and external displays are configured with the Logo! Soft Comfort V6 standard software. New function blocks for arithmetic and pulse width modulation expand the application options. The Teleservice function simplifies device control and troubleshooting for service purposes. Only the basic devices need to be renewed to upgrade existing systems that have earlier Logo! versions. The installed expansion and communication modules can be reused, as can existing programs.
