Compatibility with previous LOGO! Hardware series

LOGO!Soft Comfort V6.0 is optimized for LOGO! devices of the 0BA6 series (indicated by the order number).

You can also use the current LOGO!Soft Comfort version to create circuit programs for the previous LOGO! hardware series. You cannot, however, download programs that use the new SFBs or new SFB parameters to LOGO! devices prior to the 0BA6 series. LOGO!Soft Comfort provides a list of hardware that is compatible with your circuit program from the Tools -> Select Hardware menu command. You can download your circuit program to any device in the list.

LOGO!Soft Comfort V6.0 adds reference functionality to many existing SFBs. You cannot download programs that use the new reference parameters to LOGO! devices prior to the 0BA6 series.

You can continue to use the input connectors of some of the LOGO! 0BA6 devices as they were prior to 0BA6, that is as inputs. However with the 0BA6 series, these inputs can also be used for analog inputs or high-speed counters. Existing LOGO!Soft Comfort programs that use these connectors as inputs will function in the same way as they did with the 0BA5 and earlier series. New programs can make use of the new analog inputs and high-speed counters. Refer to your product information and the LOGO! manual for detailed information about these modules: LOGO!12/24RC, LOGO!12/24RCo, LOGO!24, and LOGO!24o.

Any differences concerning the operation of LOGO!Soft Comfort that are based on differences between the previous series and the current LOGO! series 0BA6 are described separately. If programming differences exist based on the LOGO! series, this help system uses this graphic to alert you to those differences:

You can connect the modular LOGO! via a communication module to an AS-Interface bus.

In doing so, the AS inputs and outputs behave just like standard inputs and outputs.
