A configuration screen like the one shown above right appears. To item on this screen, use the Tab key or mouse.

ID

Enter a name or a description of up to 12 characters, such as

 

ªin group 3º. This entry is for your information only. It is not used by

 

the GMR software.

Start %I

Enter the starting %I Input Table reference for the group. This is the %I

 

address of the voted input data. The actual %I references used for the

 

input data from each block are configured using the Logicmaster 90

 

software. This configuration utility will provide a printout of the addressing

 

required for Logicmaster 90. The allowable reference ranges are:

0001 to 0112 (788 CPU)

0001 to 2048 (789 CPU)

Duplicate addresses are not allowed within a GBC group. You will not be permitted to continue until you have entered a unique address.

SBA

Enter a serial bus address (also referred to as the ªdevice numberº) from

 

0 to 28. Duplicate bus addresses are also not permitted within a GBC

 

group. However, each block in the group uses the same serial bus address on its

 

respective bus.
