LOGO!Soft Comfort V8.3 brings in a new project type "snp". You can view and edit the snp file with LOGO!Soft Comfort V8.3 and later versions.

You can also use the current LOGO!Soft Comfort version to create circuit programs for the previous LOGO! hardware series. You cannot, however, download programs that use the new SFBs or new SFB parameters to LOGO! devices prior to the LOGO! 8.FS4 series. LOGO!Soft Comfort provides a list of hardware that is compatible with your circuit program from the Tools → Select Hardware menu command. You can download your circuit program to any device in the list.

You can continue to use the input connectors of some of the LOGO! 8.FS4 devices as they were prior to LOGO! 8.FS4, that is, as inputs. For 0BA7 and later versions, these inputs can also be used for analog inputs or high-speed counters. Existing LOGO!Soft Comfort programs that use these connectors as inputs will function in the same way as they did. New programs can make use of the new analog inputs and high-speed counters.

Any differences concerning the operation of LOGO!Soft Comfort that are based on differences between the previous series and LOGO! 8.FS4 are described separately. If programming differences exist based on the LOGO! series, this online help system uses this graphic to alert you to those differences:

Compatibility with previous versions of LOGO!Soft Comfort

You can edit and expand circuit programs written with older versions of LOGO!Soft Comfort using your current LOGO!Soft Comfort version.

Compatibility with previous LOGO! memory cards
