6.5.9 Example: Automatically generating new positions to indexed work area

Description of example
In this example we configure an indexed work area and the queue will automatically
be refilled with new positions when it is empty.
The trigger and strobe signals are set up as in
predefined position on page
Instead of using an external input I/O signal, we will use a new simulated input I/O
signal as position generator signal. This signal is set by a cross connected simulated
output signal.
Two new signals are used in this line:
Modify the signal configurations by adding the two signals.
The position generator signals are cross connected.
diPosGenSignal is defined in the line as the position generator signal and
doPosGenSignal is defined as queue idle signal.
When the queue goes empty the queue idle signal doPosGenSignal will go high.
This cross connection will make diPosGenSignal go high and new positions will
be pushed to the queue according to the earlier described principles.
