Using DeviceLogix

DeviceLogix is a stand-alone Boolean program that resides within the
ArmorStart®. The program is embedded in the product software so that there is
no additional module required to use this technology. To program DeviceLogix
you will need the latest AOP for ArmorStart EtherNet/IP for Control Logix or
other Logix family PLCs.

In addition to the actual programming, DeviceLogix can be configured to
operate under specific situations. It is important to note that the DeviceLogix
program will only run if the logic has been enabled. This can be done within the
“Logic Editor.” The operation configuration is accomplished by setting the
“Network Override” and “Communication Override” parameters. The following
information describes the varying levels of operation:

• If both overrides are disabled and the logic is enabled, the ONLY time

DeviceLogix will run is if there is an active I/O connection with a master,
i.e. the master is in Run mode. At all other times, DeviceLogix will be
running the logic, but will NOT control the state of the outputs.
