3.4 Genius Global Data
PACSystems supports the sharing of data among multiple control systems that share a common
Genius I/O bus. This mechanism provides a means for the automatic and repeated transfer of %G,
%I, %Q, %AI, %AQ, and %R data. No special application programming is required to use global data
since it is integrated into the I/O scan. All devices that have Genius I/O capability can send and
receive global data from a PACSystems CPU.
Using I/O Variables, you can directly associate variable names to a module’s Genius global data that
is scanned as part of an input/output scan.
