programming via HMI panel key, standard ELC-18 & economic ELC-18 without such feature.
Getting started with xLogic
Programming refers to creating a circuit program from the xLogic Basic module.
In this chapter you will learn how to use xLogic to create the xLogic circuit programs for your application.
xLogicSoft is the xLogic programming software that you can use on your PC to
quickly and easily create, test, modify, save and print the circuit programs. The topics in this manual,
however, relate only to the creation of circuit programs on the actual xLogic Basic module. The
programming software xLogicSoft contains extensive online help.
A small example in the first part of this chapter introduces the operating principles of xLogic:
● You will learn the meaning of two basic terms, namely the connector and the block.
● As the next step, you will create a circuit program based on a simple conventional circuit.
● Lastly, you will enter this program directly in xLogic.
It will take you only a few pages of this manual to store your first executable circuit program
in the xLogic unit. With suitable hardware (switches etc.), you will then be able to carry out
initial tests.
