Programming Overview
The following figure represents the basic GMR programming steps. As explained previously,
the GMR configuration, which assigns I/O reference addresses and produces the G_M_R10
Program Block should be done first.

1. Create a new Program Folder. In the Logicmaster programmer, create a folder with a
new name, such as GMRPROG.
2. Add the GMR system software to the new program folder. Using the Copy Folder
feature of Logicmaster, copy the GMR system software folder GMRxxyy from the
diskette to your new program folder. The application program can now be added to
this folder. It can be newly-created and edited into the folder, or imported via the
library.
3. Using the Logicmaster librarian feature, add the external program block containing
the GMR configuration parameters (G_M_R10) to the LM90 library. Then, use the
Librarian to import G_M_R10 from the Library to the application program folder.
4. After completing the application program and the configuration(s), store them to
the PLCs. Supplying the configuration and program as separate files, as shown
above, makes it easier to perform program updates in the future.
