Components of a GMR System

GMR Software

GMR software version 2.06 (catalog number IC641SWP714B) provided on diskette consists of:

HEasy-to-use GMR configuration software.

HGMR system software, which automatically processes, monitors, and tests redundant I/O.

HA download utility for updating programs in systems with SNP multidrop communications.

Series 90-70 PLCs

Two models of the Series 90-70 PLC CPU support GMR, CPU 788 and CPU 789. If the GMR system includes either two or three PLC CPUs, they must be the same model. Each PLC requires one to three Bus Controllers per bus. Minimum suffixes for GMR version 2.06 are:
