EQP LOGIC EDITOR
Placing Logic Operators on a Sheet
To develop a program the user must be able to use the Logic Editor to place functions, function blocks, variables,
inputs and outputs on a sheet within an element and then connect them together into viable networks.
Below is an example of one of the simplest networks possible, a non-extensible function with a single input and
a single output.
To create this network open a sheet within a created element and place the three logic operators on the sheet and
connect them together.
All logic operators are selected via the icons on the “Gates 1. Toolbar” shown above and described earlier in this
section.
Click on the “Input Variable” icon on the Gates Toolbar. 2.
The cursor will change to a miniature input variable symbol when positioned within the drawing area
of the current sheet.
Place the Input Variable on the sheet by positioning the mouse cursor over the sheet and clicking the left mouse 3.
button.
The cursor will return to the “Arrow” symbol and this tool can be used to move the placed Input Variable to the
desired location on the sheet. It may also be moved using the arrow keys.
Activate the 4. button on the “Gates Toolbar” to open the “Function Selection...” dialog
box.
Scroll down the list of available logical operators (function blocks or functions) and locate the binary “NOT” 5.
operator.
Note
If the name of the desired operator is known, it can be located quickly by typing its name. once typing has
begun, S 3 will automatically reposition the scrolling list.
