Overview

A Logic Component enables the user to connect a Standard Component to an external PLC using a Logic Simulator.

A Logic Component consists of both component specific settings and general settings. For details of component specific settings (Properties & PLC outputs), look at the documentation of that specific Logic Component.

General Settings

PLC Settings

In the PLC Settings panel you can manage the settings on how you wish your component to connect to a PLC.
