Applications

5.8 Additional application options

It is worth using LOGO! particularly when you:
S
Can replace a number of auxiliary switching devices with the integrated
functions of LOGO!.
S
Want to save yourself wiring and installation work (because the wiring is
done in LOGO!).
S
Want to reduce the space required by the components in the control cabi-
net/distribution box. You may be able to use a smaller control cabinet/
distribution box.
S
Can add or change functions subsequently without having to install an
additional switching device or change the wiring.
S
Have to provide your customers with additional functions for their do-
mestic or building installation. Here are some examples:
– Home security: You can program LOGO! to switch a lamp on regu-
larly or open and close your shutters while you are on holiday.
– Heating system: You can program LOGO! to run the circulation
pump only when water or heat is really required.
– Cooling systems: You can program LOGO! to thaw your cooling
systems automatically on a regular basis to save energy costs.
– You can illuminate aquaria and terraria automatically on a time-de-
pendent basis.
You can also:
S
Use commercially available switches and buttons, which makes it easy
to integrate in the installation.
S
Connect LOGO! directly to your domestic installation due to its inte-
grated power supply.
