Click&Go logic: Four steps that put you in touch with the real world
 

Click&Go logic control is the key to turning an ioLogik E2000 server into an intelligent Active Ethernet I/O server. Its intuitive, instantly understandable interface provides sophisticated alarm control and messaging. With Click&Go, you have complete control over what information is transmitted, when to transmit, and where to transmit. Unlike traditionally passive Ethernet I/O architecture, both network messages and local output control can be triggered simultaneously, and signals from multiple inputs can be parsed together as a single triggering event.

While programming in C-language or PLC ladder logic requires specialized training, a person who understands basic If-Then statements will instantly understand the Click&Go interface. Using Click&Go, I/O control configuration can be completed without any assistance in just four easy steps:

 

Step 1: Run ioAdmin to access Click&Go

 

Click&Go is accessed through a tab in ioAdmin, MOXA’s Windows utility for configuring ioLogik servers. The point-and-click interface requires no training for logic setup. You can completely define the triggering conditions and actions of up to 16 rules, using only the mouse. Simply log in as an administrator to gain access to the Click&Go tab.

 

Step 2: Use If-Then statements to define rules

 

Traditionally, integrators relied on specialists to program the I/O control logic using complicated PLC-ladder-logic or C-language. With Click&Go logic, your control logic can be configured in a fraction of the time, expense, and effort. It is based on an IF-Then structure that is easy to understand.

Each rule is defined by up to three conditions ("If" statements) and three actions ("Then" statements). This construction can easily be used to set up a simple rule that, for example, pulses a digital output for three seconds if a digital input is activated. More sophisticated combinations of conditions and actions are easily implemented using "AND" and "OR" statements.



In addition to triggering local output control, Click&Go can be used to trigger network messages that are sent by TCP/UDP/SNMP trap. This feature allows you to minimize the use of PC resources by eliminating the traditional need to poll for I/O status. Network messages are user-definable and may be customized with dynamic fields that can indicate the exact time, date, or IP address of the I/O information.

Additionally, Click&Go supports SNMP to I/O, which provides a solution to manage your I/O status in SNMP software instead of using other SCADA software.


 

Step 3: Download logic to server

 

When the I/O control logic has been completely defined, one click in ioAdmin downloads the entire set of rules onto your ioLogik E2000 Ethernet I/O server. The server will automatically restart with the ruleset loaded, but not activated.

 

Step 4: Run ioAdmin to activate Active Ethernet I/O operation

 

After your ioLogik server has restarted, ioAdmin will automatically reconnect to the server. Access the Click&Go tab again by logging in as an administrator, then click the "Run" button to activate the control logic.





In four easy steps, your ioLogik E2000 Ethernet I/O server provides Active Ethernet I/O operation using your own user-defined control logic.
