Consider a standard LOGO! 8.3 (12/24 RC) with 8 digital inputs and 4 relay outputs. Manually drafting this takes 15 minutes. Now consider a panel with 3 LOGO! main modules and 6 expansion modules. Manual drawing becomes error-prone. Here is why macros are critical:
The general workflow for creating a Window Macro is straightforward.
An EPLAN macro is a pre-drawn, standardized block of electrical data containing symbols, 3D layouts, and technical part data. Specifically, a is a downloadable file (often in .edz format) that represents various versions of the Logo! logic modules, expansion modules, and power supplies within EPLAN. Key Benefits of Using Macros:
files, which package not just the drawing but also part numbers, manuals, and 3D layout data for panel design. How to Access and Download Macros You can find macros for the Siemens Logo Eplan P8 Macro
Integrated part numbers and technical specifications from the Siemens Industry Mall.
allows you to search for Siemens LOGO! parts and import them directly into your project with a single click. Importing and Using .EDZ Files Once you have downloaded the macro in format, follow these steps to use it: Open Parts Management : Navigate to Utilities > Parts management Import the File Extras > Import and select "EPLAN data portal exchange format (.edz)" Update Database
: This is the primary official source. You can create a download list by entering the specific Siemens order numbers (MLFBs) for your LOGO! modules and selecting "EPLAN electric P8 macros (edz exchange format)". Siemens Industry Image Database Consider a standard LOGO
Open the (via the sidebar or by searching in the part selection).
Navigate to the LOGO! product page → CAx data → Download EPLAN macros. You will find .EDZ files (EPLAN compressed macros).
An EPLAN P8 macro is a reusable template containing graphical data, connection points, and commercial parts information for a specific component. When applied to the Siemens LOGO! logic module series, these macros pre-define: Now consider a panel with 3 LOGO
Search for your specific LOGO! part number (e.g., 6ED1052-1MD08-0BA1 ). Click on the tab. Select EPLAN macro and add it to your download basket.
: If you need to rename inputs (e.g., I1, I2) or outputs (e.g., Q1, Q2), open the Macro Project , modify the connection point properties, and then use the Update Macro command to sync changes to your schematic.
Leveraging Siemens LOGO! Eplan P8 macros turns repetitive drafting into an intelligent, data-driven engineering process. By pulling certified macros from the Eplan Data Portal or Siemens Support, you safeguard your designs against wiring errors, instantly generate flawless procurement bills of materials, and deliver professional, standardized documentation to your clients or shop floor.
: Standardised representations ensure that identical components look the same across all project pages. Complete Data Sets : Macros often come as
Choose the file and click "Open" to import the part data and the associated macro (2D/3D). Open your page in the schematic editor.
