| Click&Go is Moxa's patented control logic that bridges the gap between information technology and industrial automation. With this easy-to-learn and easy-to-use natural language, configuration is the only thing you'll need to learn. Unlike the traditional ladder language or function block diagrams, users can learn how to perform I/O configurations in just five minutes. Moxa's recent enhancements to Click&Go logic provide more functions to fulfill customers' application requirements. |

IF-THEN-ELSE |
| Since IF-THEN-ELSE statements are a fundamental part of any programming language, even an untrained engineer will be able to use Click&Go's intuitive IF-THEN-ELSE configuration format to finish an I/O configuration in under five minutes. |
| Compared with the previous version of Click&Go, more functions are supported for each IF-THEN-ELSE description. See the table for details. |

Timer Function |
| Click&Go supports 24 timers in the control logic. Uers can define these timers for different kinds of applications such as a delay timer (delay_on, delay_off, on_delay, off_delay) or timer counter. All time-based control systems can use this function. |
Benefits:
• Time-based control capability
• Flexibility for actions with the timer function |

Internal Register |
| Twenty-four Modbus registers are available for a user's application, and users can change a Modbus address from the SCADA software even when Click&Go is running. The diagram at the right shows how to use SCADA/custom software to change the internal register with Modbus/TCP protocol. With this function, users can easily integrate the Active Ethernet I/O product with their control system. Anywhere from 0 to 255 trigger conditions can be defined, and when the trigger condition equals the Modbus value, Click&Go will start running the user's pre-defined actions. |
Benefits:
• Click&Go logic is compatible with SCADA software
• DO can be controlled when Click&Go is running
• Cascade different control rules in internal registers |

Schedule |
| The fuel shortage is a hot issue for businesses around the world, making saving energy an increasingly important topic for more and more people. For example, automatically turning off lights when they are not in use is a simple, but effective way to save energy. The control device is a key component of automatic light control applications, and Moxa's Active Ethernet I/O products provide a schedule function to help users with this task. Technicians can easily and quickly use the schedule function to define a periodic control scheme. The schedule function can also be used for lighting, sprinklers, and heating systems. Note that both the time of day and date can be included as part of the control schedule. |
Benefits:
• Flexibility for periodic control
• Customer definable |

Remote Action |
| Programmers sometimes need to trigger remote digital output based on local analog values. In the example shown here, a water level sensor was installed in a water tower. When the water level drops below a preset level, the analog signal from the sensor will be converted to a remote digital output, which triggers the pump to turn on. Although this is a relatively simple example, Click&Go can handle different set points and trigger conditions. |
Benefits:
• Only two modules needed without extra PC or controller
• Easy to configure
• Flexible action and condition settings |

CGI Commands |
| CGI commands are based on the HTTP protocol, which is the most popular protocol for accessing the Internet. Users will be able to access Moxa's I/O devices from anywhere with a simple web browser, and can even communicate through firewalls. Software developers can use CGI commands to integrate I/O functions into their software, which is often used with IP surveillance systems. Moxa's Active Ethernet I/O products can both send out and receive CGI commands, and for this reason are compatible with surveillance devices that support CGI commands. |
Benefits:
• Easy to integrate with web-based software
• Firewall friendly
• Control I/O from anywhere via web browse |

Engineering Units—AI Scaling |
| For most I/O applications, engineers think in units that describe what is being measured (such as PPM), whereas the AI sensors "think" in engineering units (such as mA). Moxa's Active Ethernet I/O products have a built-in linear scaling function that automatically converts the "Actual Value" of the AI sensor into a "Scaled Value." All engineering units can be used with Click&Go logic and ioAdmin. |
Benefits:
• More intuitive for engineers
• Simple scaling function for engineering units |
