This guide focuses on Logo!8.

The main purpose of this document is how LOGO!8 Soft Comfort can be installed under Linux.

The second goal is to have a slim guide to find the not so obvious stuff and have hints to allow an easy start and go.

It is not intended to duplicate what can be found quickly in the official Siemens documentation nor elsewhere as the many recommendable you-tube videos around.

The official Siemens site https://www.siemens.com/global/en/home/products/automation/systems/industrial/plc/logo.html contains detail overview and contains Web based learning that is recommended to do.

The Logo Starterkit is affordable but includes more than required to go. Alternatively the individual parts could be ordered (Logic module = the PLC and LOGO!8 Soft Comfort = the DVD).

The starter kit contains different DVD's and therefore could overcharge a beginner. LOGO!8 Soft Comfort (Version 8.2) DVD is the only one really required since it holds the develop environment.
