1. Overview SuperLogic enables the configuration and programming of the Super-I/O control modules. SuperLogic is a ladder based programming application, applying industry programming standards. The programming functionality is extensive and allows users to develop programs for many specialized applications. SuperLogic incorporates a drag-and-drop graphical interface to create a user-friendly programming environment. SuperLogic also has program monitoring capabilities which allow the user to debug a program against the system application. A SuperLogic program can incorporate on average 60 rungs.

2. Software Requirements and Installation To ensure the proper operation of the SuperLogic Software, your computer system should have the following minimum requirements: Operating System: Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows 2000 Processor: 300 MHz Pentium II Memory: 64 MB RAM Hard drive: 200 MB SuperLogic can be obtained through the Vital Systems website. The website is located at the URL- (http://www.VITALSYSTEM.com). Once the installation file has been acquired double-click the installation icon named SetupLdr.exe. The installation process will begin and follow the installation wizard's instructions. Once the installation is complete, restart your computer system. Now, the SuperLogic shortcut icon will be present on the computer's desktop and the installation is complete.

SuperLogic Users Guide Exit:

Exit from the SuperLogic software.

3.2 Device Submenu Connect:

Initiates a connection, serial or network between computer running SuperLogic software and a Super-I/O device. If connection is successful the device will be online, which is indicated by the "Yellow" Online Status Indicator. Connections take place through a serial port on SuperI/O or over DeviceNet network.

Run Mode:

While connected and online to a Super-I/O device this command will put controller into Run Mode, which will be indicated by the "Green" RUN Status Indicator. The Controller must be in Run Mode to execute the program stored in its memory.

Program Mode: While connected and online to a Super-I/O device this command will put the controller into Program Mode, which will be indicated by a "Red" RUN Status Indicator. Super-I/O Controller must be in Program Mode to configure it. Similarly, after downloading a program to Super-I/O, the controller state initializes to Program Mode. Monitor:

While connected and online with a controller, the program that the controller is executing can be monitored, which will be indicated by the "Blue" Status Indicator. The current project/program the Super-I/O is executing must be opened in the SuperLogic Workbench and the controller must be in Run Mode.

Configurations: While connected and online with an Super-I/O device, the following device characteristics can be configured: MAC ID, Upstream MAC ID, Downstream MAC ID, Bus Speed, Zone Count, Singulation or Slug Mode, and Host ID.

3.3 Help Submenu Contents:
