The Presales Support Team of Siemens advises customers on technical issues, evaluates existing systems, provides technical support, and works closely with product development. In addition, it conducts training, product demonstrations and customer workshops on site.
Objectives: The developers were faced with the task of setting up a complete Virtual LAB and integrating hardware (demo cases and structures) into the workshops. These had to be able to be switched directly and, especially for drive demos and the engineering of components, also de-energized.

The Presales Support was looking for a digital solution for analogue operations abroad. Virtual servers in the cloud with Siemens software such as TIA Portal were used, but with more than 20 participants, this system reached its limits.
The combination of LOGO! 8.4 and the KNX communication module LOGO! CMK2000 enables an efficient solution. The LOGO! acts as an IO device that remotely switches the power supply for the demo cases on and off.
