Click&Go™ Automation Suite
 
What is Click&Go Suite?
Click&Go Suite is a software package that helps with managing the operation, monitoring, and deployment of the ioLogik E2000, E4200, and W5000. The suite includes two utilities, ioAdmin and ioEventLog, which run on the Windows OS. These two utilities are included on the Document and Software CD that comes you're your ioLogik product. ioAdmin's graphical user interface gives easy access, including a function that broadcast searches for all status information and settings. ioAdmin includes the settings of the Click&Go logic control configuration of your application system, and ioEventLog collects the ioLogik's system information stored in the central PC.

 

Click&Go Suite includes the following functions

Click&Go local control logic
System configuration
Remote I/O test and monitoring
Event recording
Mass Deployment
Wiring Guide
 
Click&Go Control Logic
Click&Go is Moxa's patented control logic that bridges the gap between information technology and industrial automation. With this easy-to-learn and easy-to-use natural language, configuration is the only thing you'll need to learn. Unlike the traditional ladder language or function block diagrams, users can learn how to perform I/O configurations in just five minutes. Moxa's recent enhancements to Click&Go logic provide more functions to fulfill users' application requirements. In addition to local Input-to-output control, other features of the Click&Go logic are described below.
 
IF-THEN-ELSE
Since IF-THEN-ELSE statements are a fundamental part of any programming language, even an untrained engineer will be able to use Click&Go's intuitive IF-THEN-ELSE configuration format to finish an I/O configuration—in under five minutes. Compared with the previous version of Click&Go, more functions are supported for each IF-THEN-ELSE description. See the table for details.

Statements   IF   THEN   ELSE
Funtions     DO   DO
  Relay/Counter   Relay/Pusle   Relay/Pusle
  Internal Register   Internal Register   Internal Register
  Remote Action   Remote Action   Remote Action
  Timer   Timer   Timer
  Schedule   SNMP Trap   SNMP Trap
  Host Communication Failure   Active Massage   Active Massage
      E-mail   E-mail
      Active Massage   Active Massage
 
Timer Function
Click&Go's control logic supports 24 timers, which can be used to define timers for different kinds of applications, such as a delay timer (delay_on, delay_off, on_delay, off_delay) or timer counter. All time-based control systems can use this function.

 
Internal Registers
Twenty-four Modbus registers are available for a user's application, and users can change a Modbus address from the SCADA software even when Click&Go is running.

 
Schedule with NTP and daylight saving
Technicians can easily and quickly use the schedule function to define a periodic control scheme. The schedule function can also be used for lighting, sprinklers, and heating systems. The ioLogik product has a built-in RTC (real-time-clock) that works with NTP (network-time-protocol) to synchronize the local time with a remote time server on the Internet.

 
Remote Action
Programmers sometimes need to trigger remote digital output based on local analog values. In the example shown here, a water level sensor was installed in a water tower. When the water level drops below a preset level, the analog signal from the sensor will be converted to a remote digital output, which triggers the pump to turn on. Although this is a relatively simple example, Click&Go can handle different set points and trigger conditions.

 
CGI Commands
CGI commands are based on the HTTP, which is the most popular protocol for accessing the Internet. Users will be able to access Moxa's I/O devices from anywhere with a simple web browser, and can even communicate through firewalls. Software developers can use CGI commands to integrate I/O functions into their software, which is often used with IP surveillance systems. Moxa's Active Ethernet I/O products can both send out and receive CGI commands, and for this reason are compatible with surveillance devices that support CGI commands.

 
System Configuration
The major ioLogik settings are done with ioAdmin.

Server and Time settings
Networking Configuration
I/O Configuration and analog input scaling
SNMP V1/V2 and V3 Settings
Mass Deployment
 
Remote I/O Tests and Monitoring
ioAdmin can be used to monitor the I/O status online, and trigger an output (if needed) for testing purposes.

 
System Log Recording
The ioEventLog utility is designed to help users keep a record of ioLogik status events over the network. For example, a cold start, warm start, or event time can be monitored and recorded.
 
Mass Deployment
The import/export function is designed to make it easy for users and system integrators to configure and deploy multiple ioLogik units. One unit can be configured first, after which the text file is exported to a text file. After modification (especially for different IP addresses), the configuration file can be imported by ioAdmin one-by-one or via a batch file running tftp, from the windows command prompt

 

Wiring Guide
ioAdmin provides a wiring guide for ioLogik products to make it easier to reference different sensor connections. The wiring guide can be accessed by right-clicking the figure of the ioLogik in the I/O Configuration tab.
