Embedded Siemens item numbers, technical specifications, and manufacturing data that automatically populate your Bill of Materials (BOM). Benefits of Using Official Siemens LOGO! Macros 1. Elimination of Drafting Errors

If you are just starting with EPLAN, using these pre-made macros is the fastest way to build accurate, professional projects involving Siemens small-scale automation.

Tap the key to cycle through available macro variants (e.g., multi-line schematic, single-line overview, or 3D view). Click to drop the macro onto your grid. Step 4: Assign the Device Tag (DT)

This is a frequent question among electrical designers. The solution is to use a macro that includes multiple representation variants. You can either download an official LOGO! macro that already contains such variants or create your own custom macro with two representation versions: one for inputs and one for outputs.

When you drag the official Siemens macro from the portal, it comes with the correct article number, technical data, and macro definitions already attached.

Integrating a logic module into an electrical design project requires precise technical documentation, circuit layouts, and parts master data. Creating these complex programmable components from scratch within EPLAN Electric P8 can be a massive drain on engineering time.

Double-click the component to define its Device Tag (e.g., -K1 ) and address.

Most macros are offered in compatible formats.
