Configuration Overview

In a GMR system, there are three basic configuration steps:

HCompleting the GMR configuration using the GMR configuration software.

HConfiguring the Series 90-70 PLCs.

HConfiguring the Genius blocks in the system (not shown below).

The basic configuration steps are described below.

The Basic Steps of Configuration

1.Complete the GMR configuration. This information is the same for the redundant PLCs ± there is only one GMR configuration needed for the system.

GMR configuration sets up the parameters that will be used by the system, including reference addresses. The GMR configuration produces:

H A printout of the GMR Configuration. Use it as a reference during subsequent programming and configuration.

H A program block named G_M_R10. This is later added to (imported into) the application program.

2.Create a Logicmaster configuration for each PLC. The easiest way to do that is to:

A.Create a Folder for PLC A, PLC B, and PLC C.

B.Select to the folder for PLC A. With the GMR configuration printout as a reference, complete its Logicmaster configuration.

C.Use the Copy Folder feature of the Logicmaster 90 programming software to copy the configuration of PLC A to the folders for PLC B and PLC C. To do this:

(1)From the Logicmaster configuration software, return to the Logicmaster programming software. Select the Program Folder functions.
