Configuring Genius Blocks
To configure individual features of a Genius block,
the block must be the “active” device.
Selecting the Active Device
1. From the Analyze menu, select F3 (Block/Bus
Status).
2. Press F1 (Next) or F2 (Previous), to reach the
device’s description screen.
3. When the desired device appears, press F3 (Ac-
tive) to make it the active device. (On a dual
bus, the HHM must be on the same bus as the
active block. If it is not, either move the HHM
or force the bus selection as described on
page 5-3).
4. Press D MENU twice to return to the Main
Menu.
Configuring Block Features
Select F3 (Configuration), then F2 (Config Block).
For Genius blocks, the HHM shows the first
configuration display. For example:
P U L S E T E S T O
I
R E F S (block references)
E N A B L E D
t g l e n t r n x t
The HHM shows the feature to be configured (in
the example above, it is the Pulse Test option). It
also shows the current status of that feature.
When the Hand-held Monitor is set up for a PLC
host, line 2 shows the references assigned to the
device being configured. If there are ? symbols on
the screen, the device’s reference address has not
yet been configured. If there are * symbols on the
screen, a reference address was previously
assigned, but it is out of range for the host CPU
currently set up for the Hand-held Monitor. If this
happens, check the host CPU setup in the HHM
Utilities.
When the HHM is set up for a PCIM/QBIM/GENI
host, line 2 shows the device type and Device
Number (serial bus address) instead.
Because there are so many different device
configuration screens, it is not possible to show
them all here. You should refer to the User’s
Manual for the device you are configuring for
descriptions of its configuration screens and
detailed instructions for completing them.
Configuration Instructions
1. To advance through the HHM configuration
displays making changes as needed, use the F4
(Nxt)key. You can pass through feature dis-
plays without making entries.
2. To change a feature, use the TGL and CHNG
keys to select choices or enter other values. On
screens used to enter individual I/O circuit op-
tions, use the F1 ( > ) key to choose a circuit,
then select the option using the TGL or CHNG
key. On some displays, you can enter new val-
ues from the keypad.
3. Press the F3 (Enter) key to save each change.
Copying a Configuration
If there are similar devices on an operating bus,
you can use the Copy Configuration feature to
copy the configuration from one to the another.
Both of the devices must have a Device Number
already configured, and they must be operating at
the same baud rate. The device to be copied TO
must not be Configuration Protected.
The device to be copied FROM must be the active
device (move the HHM to that block or select it
from the Block/Bus Status screen).
1. To begin, press F3 (Copy Configuration) from
the Configuration menu. The HHM shows:
C O P Y C O N F I G
F R O M : n T O :
c h n g e n t r
2. The Device Number of the active device ap-
pears next to the word FROM. Enter the De-
vice Number of the device being copied TO.
Press F3 (Enter).
3. Press the F4 (Execute) key. The configuration is
copied.
