Programming Overview

The following figure represents the basic GMR programming steps. As explained previously, the GMR configuration, which assigns I/O reference addresses and produces the G_M_R10 Program Block should be done first.

1.

Create a new Program Folder. In the Logicmaster programmer, create a folder with a

 

 

new name, such as GMRPROG.

 

 

2.

Add the GMR system software to the new program folder. Using the Copy Folder

 

 

 

feature of Logicmaster, copy the GMR system software folder GMRxxyy from the

 

 

 

diskette to your new program folder. The application program can now be added to

 

 

 

this folder. It can be newly-created and edited into the folder, or imported via the

 

 

 

library.

 

 

3.

Using the Logicmaster librarian feature, add the external program block containing

 

 

the GMR configuration parameters (G_M_R10) to the LM90 library. Then, use the

 

 

 

Librarian to import G_M_R10 from the Library to the application program folder.

 

 

4.

After completing the application program and the configuration(s), store them to

 

 

 

the PLCs. Supplying the configuration and program as separate files, as shown

 

 

 

above, makes it easier to perform program updates in the future.
