Sorry for the delay...

The GCI has a point browser/logic forcing function that allows you to browse the points, force some, and then sort the list to find forced points. All logic forcing is logged by the operator's sign-on.

The rung browser that we have is real time, color coded, and uses hyperlinks to jump between signals and rungs. For instance, looking at L4T, from the first screen, I can see the rung, the  points, and their current values. If I click on one of the points, I immediately jump to that point's rung, and so forth, until I eventually get to the I/O.

The GCI contains the I/O configurator for performing the calibrations.

The GCI is designed to be a total replacement for the <I> and <HMI>.
