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

If the bus controller group includes any non-voted analog I/O, select nonVoted A I/O.

Note: Non-voted analog I/O blocks that are configured here are considered part of the GMR system. It is possible for a bus to include I/O 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.

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

6-input or 4 input/2 output blocks. For example:

ID

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

 

 

 

ªnonvoted 2º. This entry is for your information only. It is not used by

 

 

 

the GMR software.

Start Ref

Enter the starting Analog I/O Table reference for the block. This is the %AI

 

 

 

and/or%AQ addresses used for the block's I/O data. The allowable

 

 

 

references are: 0001 to 8192

 

 

 

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 from 0 to 28.

Hot Standby: Hot standby mode is supported for analog blocks. This mode allows analog outputs to respond to CPU A or B. Selecting Hot Standby here tells the system to configure the block to send fault reports to three PLCs.

Bus Connect: Select the bus to which the block is connected.

Block Type: Specify input, output, or mixedI/O.
