Baud Rate
All devices on a bus must use the same baud rate: 153.6 Kbaud standard, 153.6 Kbaud extended, 76.8
Kbaud, or 38.4 Kbaud. Selection of a baud rate depends on the application, as explained in the Genius
1/0 System User's Manual. Usually, the bus length determines the baud rate. The entry made here
establishes the baud rate for the GBC only. If the default baud rate (153.6 Kbaud extended) will not be
used, the baud rate of other devices on the bus must also be changed.
Series Six (S6) Reference
The S6 reference specifies the register location in a Series Six or a Series Five CPU that should be
reserved for the global data that will be transmitted to it by the GBC. A value of zero indicates that no
register location should be reserved. The allowed range for Module Series Six Reference is 0 to 16383
inclusive. Default: 0
Status
The S6 reference specifies the register location in a Series Six or a Series Five CPU that should be
reserved for the global data that will be transmitted to it by the GBC. A value of zero indicates that no
register location should be reserved. The allowed range for Module Series Six Reference is 0 to 16383
inclusive. Default: 0
Input Def
This field contains the starting reference for the 32-bit status area maintained by the GBC. Each bit of
this area represents the online/off-line status of a device on the bus. Default: Next available %10001
address
Out at strt
Device outputs can be initially ENABLED or DISABLED when the GBC is powered up. Default:
ENABLED
Device-specific Data
A GBC module can support up to 31 devices on its bus. Each device will have the following parameters
associated with it.
Device SBA
A Device SBA can be between 0 and 31. Select by tabbing through the parameter, or by setting to the
desired value. Pressing the PgDn key increments this parameter; pressing the PgUp key decrements this
parameter If you enter a Device SBA that is the same as the Module SBA, the input area parameters
cannot be filled in and the Device Type will be fixed to CONTROL. Default: 0
To transmit global data, a device must be configured as CONTROL. (Only the SBA of the GBC
module itself can be configured as CONTROL.) Set up the output lengths to transmit global data. Up to
128 bytes can be configured for the total of Output1 and Output2 Lengths. Discrete(%Q) data will
automatically be adjusted to multiples of 8 for byte alignment.
