LOGO! Power units designed to visually match the DIN rail profile. Text Displays: LOGO! TDE external terminal mapping. Key Technical Advantages
Using predefined Siemens LOGO! macros yields immediate efficiency improvements:
Directly integrated into EPLAN P8, the Data Portal allows you to search for Siemens LOGO! parts and download the associated .edz files (EPLAN Data ZIP) directly into your project. Step-by-Step: Implementing Siemens LOGO! Macros in EPLAN P8 Step 1: Download the EDZ File
This article explores how to find, import, and utilize Siemens LOGO! macros in EPLAN Electric P8, streamlining your workflow from design to production. What are Siemens LOGO! EPLAN P8 Macros?
Leveraging is essential for any electrical designer looking to improve efficiency. By automating the placement of symbols and importing complete part data, you can significantly reduce engineering time, minimize errors, and deliver high-quality, professional, and detailed documentation. Siemens Logo Eplan P8 Macrol
Before building the macro, you must understand the physical I/O mapping of the target device. Let’s take the as our example.
An Eplan P8 macro is a reusable template containing graphical data, connection points, and commercial part information for a specific component. Instead of manually drawing rectangles, assigning input/output (I/O) addresses, and typing part numbers, you drag and drop the macro into your schematic. Key Components of a Siemens LOGO! Macro
: Correctly configured macros allow EPLAN to automatically track PLC addresses across your project.

A symbol macro is more advanced, as it's directly tied to a component in the parts database. When you insert it, the macro inherits the device tag, part number, and all other properties from the linked part. A complete motor starter circuit, which is just one part of a larger machine, could be saved this way. When assigning a macro to a part in the article management system, it's very important to define the path correctly under the "Schematic macro" property, not just under "Graphics macro". Assigning only the graphics macro is a common cause of the macro not appearing as expected in the schematic.
to generate a customized download for specific part numbers (MLFBs). Enter your LOGO! part number (e.g., 6ED1052-1CC08-0BA1 EPLAN Data Portal Select "EPLAN electric P8 macros" as the data type Siemens SiePortal The system will generate a file for you to download Siemens SiePortal Siemens Industry Image Database : Search by article number on the Industry Image Database
When dealing with the Siemens LOGO!, remember that inputs I7/I8 are shared. In your macro drawing, add a graphical note (using EPLAN’s text tool) describing the analog/digital switching delay. This turns a simple macro into an intelligent design aid.
In modern electrical engineering, speed, accuracy, and standardization are paramount. For engineers and designers working on small-scale automation projects, the intelligent logic module is a go-to solution. However, creating detailed schematics for these projects manually in EPLAN Electric P8 can be time-consuming. Utilizing Siemens LOGO! EPLAN P8 macros is the key to accelerating the design process, reducing errors, and ensuring professional documentation. TDE external terminal mapping
In EPLAN Electric P8, a macro is a standardized data container. Rather than drawing a Siemens LOGO! controller from scratch—manually placing input blocks, output relays, power supply pins, and communication ports—a macro allows you to drop a fully realized, intelligent device directly onto your schematic page.
