Chapter 8 Graphic Condition Logic (GCL)
When a local or distributed logic cascade architecture is employed, there is no limita-
tion for the input numbers of logic rules. This enables you to build any logic architec-
ture to meet your application requirements.
8.4.2 Feedback
When you choose the same internal flag for the input condition and output of a single
logic rule, the logic rule has logic feedback ability. In the example in Figure 8.20, one
input condition and one output are dedicated to the same internal flag (AuxFlag 0).
Thus, the output value in the current execution will become the input of the next exe-
cution. This gives this logic rule feedback ability.

8.5 Logic Download and Online Monitoring
After you have completed all the configurations for GCL logic rules, click the Down-
load Project icon in the GCL Menu Area in order to download the entire configu-
ration to the target device. Then you can click the Run GCL icon to execute the
project on the target module. You will see the current status switch to the Running
Mode icon .
ADAM-6000 modules feature a special online monitoring function. In running mode,
click the Monitoring icon in the GCL Menu Area to enable this function. When
you do this, you will see the execution status in the Individual Logic Rule Configura-
tion Area. Here, yellow dots indicate which stage the process flow is at. The current
input value will also be shown beside the Input Condition Stage Area. Refer to Figure
8.21 for an example of the online monitoring function at work. In this example, the
input conditions for DI 1 and DI 3 have been satisfied, and so the yellow dots appear
beside the two input condition icons and you can the current input values are above
the three input stage icons.
