The design of the new switch modules has been adapted perfectly to the Logo! series, enabling seamless and space-saving installation. The CSM 230 is suitable for operation at 110 and 230 volts AC, while the CSM 12/24 version operates at 12 and 24 volts DC. The power is supplied to both versions via terminal strip connections.

Logo! CMS 230 and Logo! CMS 12/24 each have four RJ45 ports. Three ports are located on the underside, and another port is set into the front panel for fast connection of programming and diagnostics devices. The unmanaged switches can either connect two logic modules to each other, or they can offer connections for additional components such as human machine interface devices, displays, or programming devices (PG). Like the Logo! logic modules, the new switch modules are suitable for a host of applications in different sectors, and can also be used in stand-alone mode for connecting up any Ethernet devices.
