Configuring the Output Subsystem for a Bus Controller Group

Next, configure the output subsystem for that bus controller group.

Select Output Group from the menu.

Repeat the following procedure for each group in the output subsystem:

Note: It is possible for a bus to include output blocks that are not part of the GMR system. Do not include non±GMR blocks in the GMR configuration. Non-GMR blocks are included in the Logicmaster configuration and in the Genius block configuration, however.

Select either 16-circuit Blocks or 32-Circuit Blocks from the menu. An additional configuration screen appears to configure the GMR features for that group.

On this screen, use the tab key to move from item to item.

ID	Enter a name or a description of up to 12 characters, such as
	ªout group 1º.
Start %Q	Enter the starting %Q Input Table reference for the group (all blocks in
	the group will have the same Output Table reference addresses). The
	allowable reference ranges are:

0001 to 0080 (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. Each block the group uses same serial bus address on its respective bus. The
	exception to this is the 4th block (ªblock Dº) in the output group, which will
	have its SBA identified in the ªOptionsº window.

Auto Test Highlight this item then press the space bar key to display a screen for setting up Output Autotest for the output circuits. Follow the instructions on the next page to complete the entries on that screen.
