Layout recovery (0BA8 and later versions only)

When you download a circuit program (FBD only) to your LOGO! Base module, LOGO!Soft Comfort also downloads the program layout. The LOGO!Soft Comfort reads the layout information and recovers it automatically when you open it again.

The layout memory size in a LOGO! Basic is up to 512 KB. You can check the available memory size from the info window by determining LOGO! before saving a circuit diagram.
