Tips and Tricks

This help contains a new Tips and Tricks section. There you will find all tips and tricks topics.

The following bitmap icon indicates whether the chapter contains corresponding tips and tricks

relevant to a specific topic:

Ladder / Function Block Diagram

LOGO!Soft Comfort provides you with two options of creating circuit programs:

•

As ladder diagram (LAD), or

•

As function block diagram (FBD).

Who will use the ladder diagram (LAD)?

Users who are used to work with circuit diagrams.

Who will use the function block diagram (FBD)?

Users who are familiar with the logic boxes of Boolean algebra.

Differences between LAD and FBD in the Online Help

The Online Help basically describes the FBD Editor, because its functionality is closely related to that

of the LAD Editor. Differences are explained separately and indicated either in the header or with the

help of bitmap graphic shown below:

Converting circuit programs

Information on the conversion of circuit programs from LAD to FDB is found here.

LOGO!Soft Comfort V4.0

Compatibility

Compatibility with previous LOGO! hardware series

LOGO!Soft Comfort V4.0 is optimized for LOGO! units of the 0BA4 series (indicated by the order

number).

You may, of course, use the current LOGO!Soft Comfort version to create circuit programs for the

previous LOGO! hardware series. Any differences concerning the operation of LOGO!Soft Comfort

and based on differences between the previous series and the current LOGO!s series 0BA4, are

described separately. The following bitmap graphic describes the differences:

Compatibility with previous versions of LOGO! Soft Comfort

LOGO!Soft Comfort V4.0 is, of course, upward compatible. You can therefore edit and expand circuit

programs written with older version using your current LOGO!Soft Comfort version.

LOGO!Soft Comfort converts old circuit programs containing AS interface I/Os for

use in the new modular LOGO!. Please note the conversion rules.
