GCL Execution and Data Transfer Performance
1.
Local Output
Condition: Running 1 logic rule on one ADAM-6050 module
Processing time: < 1 milliseconds
(Processing time includes hardware input delay time, 1 logic rule execu-
tion time and hardware output delay time)
If multiple logic rules are used, the processing time can be estimated by
equation below:
• logic rule number n
 
16
Approximate Processing Time (for one cycle) = 600 + n*370 (

s)
2. Remote Output
Condition: Running 1 logic rule on one ADAM-6050, output is on
another ADAM-6050 module through one Ethernet Switch
Processing + Communication time: < 3 milliseconds
7.6 Typical Applications with GCL
In order to shorten GCL configuration time, Advantech has provided sev-
eral example project files for some typical applications. You can find
these example project files on the CD with the ADAM module. Simply
load these example project files by clicking the Project Content button
of GCL Menu bar (Refer to the Table 7.1 of Section 7.2). You can mod-
ify an example project based on your application requirements. Then you
can download the modified project to your module and execute it. We
will introduce each example project file in more detail below:

Empty Project
When you want to clear all configurations for GCL, it is simple to load
this example project. Then you don't need to clear all the configurations
manually.
2.
On/Off Control (Two buttons to control On and Off Seperately)
In some automation applications, two digital inputs (DI 0 and DI 1) are
used to control one digital output status (DO 0). The DO status will
become logic high when DI 0 is logic high, and the DO status will return
to logic low when DI 1 is logic high. For example, motor operation is
controlled by two buttons. When the first button is pressed, the motor is
started. If the second button is pressed, the motor will be stopped immedi-
ately. PLCs are typically used for this kind of industrial automation appli-
cation, and the ladder diagram will look like Figure 7.23 below:
