The E-Logic Suite
E-Logic is an intuitive design tool that allows rapid system development, prototyping and testing. It provides an E-Plex solution that can be configured and tested very quickly, reducing design cycles and time to market. E-Logic creates all of the programming that the modules require, documents the system, and will even generate a costed bill of materials once the design is completed.
 
Design
 
A simple schematic entry interface allows even novice users to easily create simple designs with basic logic objects like AND and OR gates. Simply point and click on the input and output pins you want to connect, and the software routes and compiles the design for you. The schematic entry software has a complete set of features, including cut & paste, rubber banding, and undo last.
 
Document
 
Since E-Logic is a visual design editor, it is self-documenting. Wires can be given unique identifiers that describe exactly what they are. Text can be added to the design to describe exactly what a module or object block is doing. In the part properties window, the exact physical location of the module can be specified and then printed out in a comprehensive report. ELogic's visual nature also makes it very easy to understand a design created by a different user.
 
Simulate
 
The E-Logic simulator is fully integrated into the editor, and allows the user to simulate both through software and through hardware. Each input wire can be toggled to see if it correctly changes the corresponding output. Once the modules have been programmed and the hardware has been installed, the simulator can be run through the E-Plex Interface to show the user in real time exactly what is happening on the bus. This feature makes it very easy to diagnose system problems, both with the design and with the electronics interfacing to E-Plex.
 
Program
 
E-Logic also includes a built in E-Plex programming interface. This interface allows the user to program, verify, and configure every module on the bus. The interface is also used to set the address of new modules. Modules can be initially addressed either by using the programming port or by using the Initialize feature. Once set up, they can be easily reprogrammed on the fly entirely through software whenever a logic change is made. A new module can be programmed and added to the bus in minutes.
 
Diagnose
 
When combined with the hardware simulation features, the other diagnostics features make it a snap to detect and correct any problems with your design or bus. Verify all the modules in the design or search for any modules that aren't supposed to be there. While streaming, the clock module will automatically detect if any modules are missing or if two modules are responding at the same address. When diagnostic mode is activated, the clock will tell you whenever modules have been added or removed from the bus. The clock also has built in surge and short circuit protection with multiple output ports for added redundancy.
