Section 4: Configuration
This section explains how a Genius NIU and the modules in an I/O Station
are configured. Configuration determines certain characteristics of
module operation and also determines how the I/O data exchanged with
the Genius network is divided among the modules in the station.
This section describes:
•
Station Racks and Slots
•
Using autoconfiguration or programmer configuration
The configuration for a Genius NIU and I/O Station can either be
downloaded from the programming software or established by an
autoconfiguration.
•
Programmer configuration of the Genius NIU and I/O Station
Software configuration provides greater flexibility than
autoconfiguration in setting up an I/O Station.
•
Autoconfiguration of the Genius NIU and I/O Station
Autoconfiguration establishes a default configuration for the NIU and
I/O Station and does not require the use of a programmer. I/O
modules that have software-configurable features always use their
default settings when autoconfigured.
