CHAPTER 4: GENIUS BUS CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION
4.1 PLC Configuration
This chapter discusses the configuration of the PLC in Genius applications using the AF-300 drive with
GEN100 Genius option board. As mentioned in a previous chapter, Genius LANs performing control
require a Genius Bus Controller. Most GE Fanuc PLCs offer a module which acts as the bus controller.
This document discusses configuration of the Series 90 PLCs -- Series 90-30 and Series 90-70.
4.2 Series 90-70 Configuration
For successful integration of the Series 90-70 GBC, the document GFK-0398, Series 90-70 Genius Bus
Controller User's Manual is required.
Configuration of Series 90-70 PLC system requires the use of Logicmaster 90-70, the personal computer
software package used for ladder logic programming and system setup. Configuration of the Genius
devices residing on the LAN with Logicmaster 90-70 cannot be accomplished until the Genius Bus
Controller (GBC) is configured. For instructions on that process, consult GFK-0398 from GE Fanuc.
After configuration of the GBC has been completed, the Genius devices residing on the LAN may be
configured by zooming into the slot containing the GBC. A Logicmaster screen similar to that below will
appear:
