The devices residing on the Genius LAN are configured in the lower "Device Data" section of the screen.
The cursor keys are used to navigate around the screen. When the cursor is on the "Device Data"
section of the screen, the PageUp and PageDown keys are used to select the Device number. Once the
proper device number is displayed for the AF-300, the following parameters can be set.
Device Type
The AF-300 is configured as a GENERIC device type, which is the default.
Input References (Input 1 Ref, Input 2 Ref)
These parameters specify where the AF-300's global data is mapped in Series 90-30 memory. Legal
reference types for these parameters are %I, %G, %AI, and %R. The global data broadcast by the AF-
300 can be divided into two different areas of PLC memory. For instance, part of the global data can be
mapped into %I and the remainder into %AI. Two non-consecutive areas of the same reference type can
also be mapped. For instance, part of the global data can be mapped to %R1 and the remainder to
%R500.
Input Length (Input 1 Len, Input 2 Len)
These parameters specify how much global data is broadcast by the AF-300. If the Input Reference
specified is bit-type (%I, %G), the length parameter is in bits. If the Input Reference specified is word type
(%AI, %R), the length parameter is in words. The total amount of data mapped into the Series 90-30
must exactly match the total amount of global data broadcast by the AF-300.
If bit-type parameters are used then they must be defined in the first global words of the drive. They must
also be configured as bit-type data in the bus controller
Output References (Output 1 Ref, Output 2 Ref)
These parameters specify where the AF-300's directed control data is mapped in Series 90-30 memory.
Legal reference types for these parameters are %Q, %G, %AQ, and %R. As you can see, the directed
data input by the AF-300 can be divided into two different areas of PLC memory. For instance, part of the
global data could be mapped into %Q, and the remainder into %AQ. Two non-consecutive areas of the
same reference type could also be mapped. For instance, part of the directed data could be mapped to
%R1, and the remainder to %R500.
Output Length (Output 1 Len, Output 2 Len) Output
These parameters specify how much directed data is received by the AF-300. If the Output Reference
specified is bit-type (%Q, %G), the length parameter is in bits. If the Output Reference specified is word
type (%AQ, %R), the length parameter is in words. The total amount of data mapped from the Series 90-
30 must exactly match the total amount of global data received by the AF-300.
If bit-type parameters are used then they must be defined in the first global words of the drive. They must
also be configured as bit-type data in the bus controller.
