Technical Parameters & Selection Guide

Selection Criteria: Choose the 230RC model when your application requires AC voltage inputs and high-current relay outputs for direct load switching. For DC-powered systems (12/24V), consider the LOGO! 12/24RC or 12/24RCE variants. If Ethernet connectivity is essential for remote monitoring or SCADA integration, upgrade to the 230RCE version with built-in Ethernet port. Expansion modules (DM8, DM16, AM2) can be added to any base unit when additional I/O points are needed beyond the standard configuration.

Extended Functions

Modular Expansion Capability: Connect up to three expansion modules to increase I/O capacity to 24 digital inputs, 20 digital outputs, or 8 analog inputs. Mix and match modules based on application requirements without changing the base program structure.

Communication Options: Add the LOGO! CMR2020 or CMR2040 communication module to enable Ethernet/IP connectivity, web server functionality, and email notifications. Access and modify programs remotely via LOGO! Web Editor from any browser-enabled device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I expand the input/output capacity of my LOGO! 230RC controller?
A: The base module supports up to three expansion modules connected via the built-in expansion bus. Add DM8 modules for 4 additional inputs + 4 outputs, DM16 modules for 8 inputs + 8 outputs, or AM2 modules for 2 analog inputs (0-10V or 4-20mA). Total system capacity: 24 digital inputs, 20 digital outputs, 8 analog inputs. Expansion modules hot-swap capable for easy maintenance.

Q: Can I monitor and control the LOGO! remotely over the internet?
A: Yes, by adding the LOGO! CMR2020 (Ethernet) or CMR2040 (Ethernet + cellular) communication module. This enables web-based access to real-time data, remote program modifications, email/SMS alarms, and integration with SCADA systems. The built-in web server requires no additional software—access via standard browser from PC, tablet, or smartphone.

Q: What is the maximum switching capacity for inductive loads like motors and contactors?
A: Each relay output handles up to 10A resistive or 2400VA inductive load at 250V AC. For motor loads, this translates to approximately 1.5 HP @ 230V single-phase or 2 HP @ 230V three-phase (when switching through a contactor). Use RC snubbers or varistors across inductive loads to maximize relay life—typically 100,000+ operations under rated conditions.

Q: How does the LOGO! 230RC compare to traditional timer relays for energy savings?
A: Unlike fixed-function timers, the LOGO! combines multiple timing functions (on-delay, off-delay, pulse, weekly schedules) with logic operations and astronomical clock calculations. This enables sophisticated energy management strategies: occupancy-based lighting with automatic shutoff, optimized HVAC start/stop based on outdoor temperature, and demand-limiting for peak shaving. Typical energy cost reduction: 30-50% versus conventional time-switch control.

Q: What programming skills are required to configure the LOGO! module?
A: Zero coding experience necessary. The LOGO! Soft Comfort software uses graphical function block programming—simply drag pre-built functions (timers, counters, logic gates) onto the workspace and connect them with virtual wires. Built-in simulation mode tests programs before download. Most users create functional programs within 1-2 hours of first use. Free online training videos and sample programs accelerate learning.

Q: Is the LOGO! 230RC suitable for outdoor installation or harsh environments?
A: The base module carries IP20 rating for indoor panel mounting. For outdoor or dusty environments, install in a NEMA 4X/IP65-rated enclosure with appropriate ventilation. Operating temperature range (0-55°C) suits most climate-controlled and semi-outdoor applications. For extreme conditions (-40°C to +70°C), consider the LOGO! 24o variant with extended temperature rating and conformal coating.
