West Control Solutions CALogix - Manual (Page 32)

Create input function block
I/O module inputs, power up or output status can be used as logic input function blocks.
Create output function block
Function blocks for a switching a physical output, changing setpoint, selecting manual power, starting
autotune, event input and running a program can be created.
Function block linking tool
Creates a link between two function blocks in a logic program.
Read logic data from controller
Existing logic data in desktop is overwritten by logic program read from controller.
Write logic data to controller
Logic program is written from desktop to the controller. Logic data is also validated at this time.
Clear logic data
Clears logic data on the desktop. Logic programs within the controller are NOT cleared, unless a blank
desktop is written to controller.
Validate logic data
Logic validation ensures that a logic program is created as a functional program. If function blocks are not
used in the correct way or links to inputs or outputs are missing a message will be displayed giving details of
the error.
Logic program trace mode
Trace mode allows monitoring of a logic program that is running in a controller. Green lines show the active
part of the program. Counter and timer values can also be read. Note: Windows is not a real-time operating
system therefore there may be a delay before changes in the controller are visible on PC screen. If other
applications are running in addition to CALogix-sw the delay may be greater.
Note: When in trace mode the logic desktop will be in read-only mode.
Stop logic program
The logic program running within the controller are stopped. Note. The ‘logic program running’ LED on the
CALogix base unit will switch OFF.
Run logic program
The logic program within the controller memory will run. The ‘logic program running’ LED on the CALogix base
unit will switch ON.
