ioLogik E2210 User’s Manual Click&Go Logic
5-3
Overview
The ioLogik E2210’s Active Ethernet I/O system eliminates the need for host computers to continually
poll I/O devices for status. Instead, the server itself is able to monitors the status of each I/O device and
take the appropriate action when the I/O status satisfies a user-defined condition. For example, the
ioLogik E2210 could be configured to send a TCP/UDP message only when the switch attached to DI(0)
is turned on. This structure results in a much improved response time and a much reduced load on the host
computer’s CPU and on network bandwidth.
Click&Go Logic was developed by MOXA to easily and intuitively configure when and how I/O
information is transmitted over the network. Using simple If – Then statements, you may set the
conditions that need to be satisfied on one side and the resulting actions on the other side. Up to three
conditions and three actions can be combined in any one rule, and you may define up to 16 rules. SNMP
traps and TCP/UDP messages may be configured for transmission to up to 10 computers simultaneously.
Click&Go can also be used to map an input channel on one ioLogik E2210 to an output channel on
another ioLogik E2210, for direct peer-to-peer communication. Up to five different IP addresses can be
entered as the output destination. This function can be described as peer-to-peer I/O, and provides a very
flexible and easy way to extend I/O signals or set up remote on/off switches. It can be used, for example,
to replace or extend the wiring of PLC or DCS systems over Ethernet.
