PLEASE NOTE: The GSI-2 Controller has been discontinued. If your project calls for a similar controller, please contact Gunn Systems for more information. Simple-Rulez® Software The Simple-Rulez Software, which is standard on the GSI-2, brings it to life! Simple-Rulez provides basic programmable logic controller functionality, including:
It is an environment that allows very simple "If _____ Then ______" style programming (with AND, OR, and timers also provided) using only the built-in selector knob and your imagination. Events are the heart of Simple-Rulez. An event is simply a condition that the GSI-2 will watch for, and when met, perform actions you specify (such as logging the event and/or activating a GSI-2 output). Not a programmer?
If you can choose the dropdown options below, you can program events with
Simple-Rulez!
That's It! The GSI-2 will immediately start watching for your event. Programmed events are stored in the GSI-2 "Personality Module" (non-volatile EEPROM), so events will remain in the GSI-2, even after extensive periods without power! For multiple GSI-2 installations, this also allows you to configure a master Personality Module, then make copies and install in the field, instead of programming each unit directly. See how easy it is to use Simple-Rulez in the examples below:
If standard Simple-Rulez does not meet your needs (for example, if you require special calculations), the program may be customized by Gunn Systems or by any qualified software engineer using the development system and free source code. See the Development section for more information.
* The Advanced Control Technologies A10 interface is supported in special versions of Simple-Rulez. Please contact us for information on using Simple-Rulez with A10. For further information on available inputs and outputs, see the GSI-2 Hardware section. The GSI-2 PC Utility, which runs on Microsoft Windows®, expands Simple-Rulez by adding the following features on a desktop or laptop PC:
For (much) more information on using Simple-Rulez, download the GSI-2 & Simple-Rulez Operator's Manual in the GSI-2 Download section. While the GSI-2 using Simple-Rulez satisfies most applications without further development needed, Simple-Rulez is also Free-Sourced (under General Public License). Download the source code in the GSI-2 Download section (written 100% in C).
