    Fig. 1.16 Comat BoxX Logical Diagram Editing Window Comat BoxX Logical Diagram Editing window is as shown in Fig. 2.3. In this Editing Window, you can click the desired block in the block library on the left to draw the Logical Function Diagram and set the block property.
  • Page 14: Main Functions

    1.7 Main functions Editing function The first function of Quick II is programming for Comat BoxX on a computer. Through the Logical Function Editing window of Quick II, you can edit your desired Comat BoxX programs using various function blocks of Comat BoxX.
  • Page 15: Programming Rules

    Edit Comat BoxX function program During editing of Comat BoxX function program, special attention must be paid to some programming rules, the application of the intermediate relays and how to use Comat BoxX's operation key panel with LCD. 4.The outputs of the function blocks can not be connected together.
  • Page 16: Programming Rules

    Rule 5: At power-on and initialisation of Comat BoxX (at the instant of power-on), the intermediate relay (M) and output port (Q) are all in logical 0 status. Their later status will be determined by the program. Rule 6: It is not allowed to connect two outputs together (only allowed for CW blocks).
  • Page 17: Intermediate Replay

    The intermediate relay is a very important bridge in Comat BoxX programming. The intermediate relay of Comat BoxX is similar to that in a relay control system. They can store some intermediate status and then transfer it to a block, requiring this status for input.
