This year, I started studies in industrial automation, and I was given and old LOGO! to tinker with, the model being 230RL 6ED1053-1FA00-0BA0, lanched in the late 1990s (1996 - 1998 ?). While testing it, I noticed that the relays of outputs 1 through 4 didn't "kick in" even though the LOGO screen said that these outputs were activated. These outputs either do not work at all or they barely work very sporadically when the logo is moved, as if there was some sort of bad contact which prevented the relay coils to get the 24V they need to make the commutation. The thing is I can't trace it... Also relays from Q5 to Q8 seem to work fine though. Thank you so much in advance :)

Example: You want switch a 24 VDC lamp. Then must you connect the +24 VDC to the terminal 1 of the relay output. Terminal 2 must connect to one side of the lamp, the other side from the lamp must connected to 0 VDC (or M).

It seems that, for the relay to switch, the relay coil needs to receive 24V, I think (don't know for sure...) that, when the processor IC gives the order to activate the relay, it activates a transistor or something which, in turn, gives 24V to the relay coil, which, in turn switches the contacts. The thing is I can't find the 24V anywhere on relay coils 1-4, even though I found the 24V on relay coils 5-8. Again thanks so much for all the help :)
