Configuring the Non-Voted Discrete I/O for a Bus Controller Group

If the bus controller group includes any non-voted discrete I/O, select nonVoted D I/O. (Inputs and outputs may be mixed on a block.) Non-voted I/O are inputs and outputs on individual blocks (blocks that are not part of an input or output group) that are present on the GMR busses.

A sub-menu appears where you specify whether the blocks in that particular group are

16-point or 32-point blocks. For example:

'

Press Return to configure the block. The configuration screen shown at the right appears.

ID

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

 

ªnonvoted 1º. This entry is for your information only. It is not used by

 

the GMR software.

Start Ref

Enter the starting I/O Table reference for the block. This is the %I and %Q

 

addresses used for the block's I/O data.

Voted I/O data and non-voted I/O data use different areas of the I/O tables. This is shown below, and explained in more detail on page 7-5. (Discrete I/O tables are shown; the analog I/O tables are similar).

The starting address for non-voted data depends on the amount of redundant data, as explained in chapter 7.

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.
