Configuring Individual Field Control Modules
Go to the Field Control configuration menu:
F 1 : G E N I U S | C O N F I G |
F 2 : M o d u l e | C o n f i g |
F 2 : P r e v i o u s M e n u
From this menu, press F2 to configure the individual modules in the station.
Disable the I/O Scan
While you configure the modules in the station, you may want to disable I/O scanning. (The Bus Interface Unit or Field Processor begins scanning I/O as soon as it is powered up).

When the I/O scan is disabled, previously unconfigured module inputs and outputs default to 0. For
1.If you want to change the present selection, press F3 (tgl).
2.Press F4 (entr). If you want to go to the next screen without changing the selection, press F2 ( > ).
Configure Data Addresses and Lengths
The next screens are used to assign the starting addresses and lengths for I, then Q, then AI, then AQ data.
If the host is a Series 90 PLC, these should correspond to the memory assignments made for the BIU or Field Processor during PLC configuration.
If the host is a Series Six or Series Five PLC, only the length selected here is used; the entry made on the starting address screen is not used by the PLC. For those PLC types, the starting address was assigned on an earlier screen.
1.For each data type, enter a starting address for discrete input data (I). For example:
B l k M a p S t a r t | 1 |
IO O O O 1
< | > | e n t r |
|
|
|
2.Press F4 to accept the value. Then, enter a length in bits for I data. For example:
B l k M a p L n g t h
| 6 4 |
|
< | > | e n t r |
3.Press F4 (entr) to accept the value.
4.Continue as above, entering starting addresses and lengths for the other data types.
The lengths entered must not add up to more than 128 bytes of inputs (discrete + analog) and 128 bytes of outputs (discrete + analog).
5.Press F1 ( > ) after entering the length for AQ data (the fourth data type).
If you changed any starting address or length entries, the HHM displays this screen:
M a p h a s c h a n g e d
A c c e p t ?
n o y e s
6. To accept the changes and continue to the next menu, press F4 (yes).
