The Remote I/O Scanner can send up to 128 bytes of inputs from input boards in its
remote drop to the CPU, and can provide up to 128 bytes of outputs from the CPU to
output boards in the remote drop. The amount of data transferred is configurable.
Individual I/O circuits in the remote drop can be:
H
Forced and unforced from a Hand–held Monitor or the application program logic.
H
Overridden from a PLC application program.
H
Toggled from a Logicmaster 90–70 programmer.
The Remote I/O Scanner can be used in CPU redundancy (dual controller) and bus
redundancy (dual bus) systems.
The Host CPU
The Remote I/O Scanner is ideally suited for use in a Series 90–70 PLC system.
However, any type of PLC or computer capable of controlling a Genius bus can be
used as the host. Suitable hosts include Series Six PLCs, Series Five PLCs, and
computers equipped with a PCIM (P ersonal Computer Interface Module), QBIM
(Q–Bus Interface Module), or a third–party GENI–based interface.

Multiple R acks
When there are multiple racks, the Remote I/O Scanner must be located in the first
rack (rack 0). To link multiple racks in a remote drop, a Bus T ransmitter (IC697BEM713)
Module in rack 0 is connected to a Bus Receiver Module (IC697BEM711) in the first
expansion rack. Additional racks are also linked via Bus Receiver Modules.
All racks in a remote drop must be at the same ground potential.
Distance Between R acks in a Remote Drop
The maximum total cable length from the first Bus Transmitter to the last Bus Receiver
in a remote drop is 50 feet (15 meters). Since none of the daisy–chained signals (all at
the same ground potential) are broken at a rack, any rack can be independently
powered–down without affecting the operation of the rest of the system.
Data Quantities
Regardless of the number of racks used for a remote drop, the maximum amount of
data for a remote drop is 128 bytes of inputs and 128 bytes of outputs (8 discrete points
represent one byte and 1 analog channel uses 2 bytes).

Powering Two Racks from a Single Power Source
Except for the 125VDC supply, each of these power supplies can be used to power two
racks if the total current requirement for both racks does not exceed the power
supply’s load capacity. The rack that does not contain the Power Supply must not have
a load greater than 5.2 amps.
Connection from the rack with the power supply to the second rack is made through a
cable (catalog number IC697CBL700) three feet (one meter) in length, which is
terminated at both ends with 9–pin D–connectors. This cable car ries both +5 volt

Remote Drop Capacity
The maximum number of I/O and option modules that can be installed in a remote
drop is 63, which requires eight 9–slot racks. There are two limits that cannot be
exceeded when locating modules in a remote drop:
H
There must not be too many option modules in a remote drop. See “Option
Modules”, below .
H
The configuration data for all the I/O modules in a remote drop must not add up to
more than 4500 bytes. This amount of configuration data will not be reached in
any remote drop where all I/O modules are included in the Remote I/O Scanner’s
configured I/O map. However, it is possible to have I/O modules in a remote drop
configured to use references outside the I/O map, as explained in chapter 3. If the
drop will have some modules configured outside the Remote I/O Scanner’s I/O
map, refer to appendix B.
9Chapter 1 Introduction
1
Analog Modules: The maximum number of analog input modules that can provide
input data to the host is 8; however, there may be additional modules in the remote
drop configured outside the Remote I/O Scanner’s I/O map. The maximum number of
analog input modules that can be configured for a remote drop is 29. Similarly, while
the maximum number of analog output modules that can receive output data from the
host is 16, as many as 54 can be configured for a remote drop.
Option Modules: A remote drop with seven or fewer racks can contain up to 18 GDS
(Graphics Display Coprocessor), or ADS (Alphanumeric Display Coprocessor) modules,
or up to 9 PCM (Programmable Coprocessor) modules with daughterboards. Each
PCM/daughterboard combination counts as two option modules against the total of 18.
The following table shows how many GDS and/or ADS modules can be used with 0 to
9 PCMs.

Number of GDS and/
or ADS Modules
If there are 8 racks in the remote drop, one less PCM with daughterboard, or two less GDS or
ADS modules are permitted.
Analog Expanders: A remote drop can accommodate up to one analog input module
with eight expander modules. However, the maximum number of expanders that can
pass inputs to the CPU is three, due to the Remote I/O Scanner’s 128–byte input data
limit. If an analog module and three expanders were used, no additional input
modules (either analog or discrete) could communicate with the host from the remote
drop.
Modules Not Supported: A remote drop cannot have any I/O module interrupts, or
bus controllers or other modules that depend on COMREQ instructions for their
operations.
Third–party VME modules cannot be used in a remote drop.
Series 90–70 Remote I/O Scanner User’s Manual – July 199210
Genius Bus
1
The Genius bus is an industrially–hardened Local–Area–Network (LAN). It passes
I/O (control) data and background information (datagrams) between the Remote I/O
Scanner and a Genius bus controller. The communicated data is protected from
environmental interference and corruption in several ways. Each byte is
triply–encoded during transmission, and each message is checksummed with a cyclic
redundancy check (CRC). Embedded intelligence at either end also checks for correct
message length and type.
A Genius bus can support up to 32 devices. Each remote drop counts as one device on
the bus, regardless of the number or type of modules it includes. A bus can serve any
mix of remote drops, I/O blocks, Bus Controllers and Hand–held Monitors, provided
the bus scan time does not exceed 400mS. Typical busses reserve one location for a Bus
Controller and one for a Hand–held Monitor, leaving 30 for additional devices. The
illustration below shows a Bus Controller in a Series 90–70 PLC connected to a Genius
bus with I/O blocks and two single–rack remote drops.

Estimating Bus Scan Time for Remote I/O Drops
The scan time contribution for a remote drop depends on its I/O data usage. Follow
the procedure below to estimate the the scan time contribution of a remote drop.
(Each analog channels is 2 bytes. Eight discrete points are one byte).
1. Find the total number of input bytes and output bytes.
number of input bytes = ________
number of output bytes = ________
total bytes = ________
2. With this total, calculate a scan time contribution using the formula below that
corresponds to the Genius bus baud rate.
Formula for 153.6 Kbaud Standar d:
0.943mS + (0.0715 x total bytes) = ________ mS
Formula for 153.6 Kbaud Extended:
1.015mS + (0.0715 x total bytes) = ________ mS
Formula for 76.8 Kbaud:
1.538mS + (0.143 x total bytes) = ________ mS
Formula for 38.4 Kbaud:
2.583mS + (0.286 x total bytes) = ________ mS
Other devices on the bus, including the Bus Controller, Hand–held Monitor, and I/O
blocks also add to the bus scan time. The Genius I/O System Manual (Volume 1) shows
how to calculate bus scan time based on the devices actually present.
Series 90–70 Remote I/O Scanner User’s Manual – July 199212
Number of R emote Drops on a Bus
The number of remote drops on a bus depends on the baud rate and the total number
of I/O points in the remote drops.
Since the maximum Genius bus scan time is 400mS, and the bus scan time contribution
of one fully–loaded remote drop is 20mS, only twenty fully–loaded remote drops are
supported on a single bus that operates at 153.6 Kbaud. If remote drops are not
fully–loaded, more may be used on a bus operating at these baud rates.
If some remote drops are not fully–loaded, more than the maximum number given
below can be used. The table in appendix A will help you estimate the total number of
remote drops and data bytes that can be accommodated on a bus that has one Bus
Controller, one Genius Hand–held Monitor, no datagrams or Global Data
communications, and no Genius I/O blocks. The Genius I/O System User’s Manual
explains how to calculate the bus scan time for a specific bus.
Maximum Number of Drops per Baud Rate
153.6K baud extended: Up to 20 fully–loaded drops, or up to 30 drops with the total
number of I/O bytes less than the limits listed in the table.
1
153.6K baud standard: Up to 20 fully–loaded drops, or up to 30 drops with the total
number of I/O bytes less than the limits listed in the table.
76.8K baud: Up to 10 fully–loaded drops, or up to 30 drops with the total number of
I/O bytes less than the limits listed in the table.
38.4K baud: Up to 5 fully–loaded drops, or up to 14 drops with the total number of
I/O bytes less than the limits listed in the table.

Redundancy
The Remote I/O Scanner can be used with CPU redundancy, bus redundancy, or both.
The suitability of redundancy features for any system depends on the requirements of
the application. For Series 90–70 PLC CPUs that are release 3 and earlier, some types
of redundancy are not supported.
CPU Redundancy
Genius devices are considered to be controlled by the Bus Controller that sends them
outputs. In CPU redundancy, two Bus Controllers on the same bus can send control
outputs at the same time. The Bus Controllers must use Device Numbers 30 and 31.

Both Bus Controllers automatically receive inputs and fault reports from all devices on
the bus that have been configured as being in “CPU Redundancy“ mode.
How the two sets of outputs are handled by devices that receive them depends on
whether the devices are set up for Hot Standby or Duplex redundancy. Both are
explained below . If the remote drop contains any analog modules, the only form of CPU
redundancy permitted is Hot Standby .
Hot Standby CPU Redundancy
A device configured to be in Hot Standby redundancy mode is normally controlled by
the Bus Controller assigned to Device Number 31. If no outputs are available from that
Bus Controller for a period of three bus scans, the device accepts outputs from the Bus
Controller assigned to Device Number 30. If outputs are not available from either Bus
Controller, outputs go to their configured defaults or hold their last state. In Hot
Standby redundancy, Device Number 31 always has priority, so that when that Bus
Controller is on–line, it has control of the outputs.
Duplex CPU Redundancy
A device configured to be in Duplex redundancy mode compares the outputs it
receives from the two bus controllers, to determine whether they match. If
corresponding outputs are the same, the device sets the output to that state. If
corresponding outputs are not the same, the device sets the output to its configured
ON or OFF Duplex Default State. If either Bus Controller stops sending outputs to a
device, its outputs are directly controlled by the remaining device. Only discrete devices
can operate in Duplex redundancy mode; do not use Duplex mode if the analog drop contains
any analog modules.
Series 90–70 Remote I/O Scanner User’s Manual – July 199214
1
Genius Bus Redundancy
In Genius bus redundancy, there are two bus cables each connected to a Bus Controller.
The device communicates on only one bus at a time. Before the alternate bus can be
use for communications, a bus switchover must occur and the device must “log in“
with the Bus Controller(s) on the alternate bus. Bus switching can be handled by a Bus
Switching Module attached to a Genius block, or by a Remote I/O Scanner
(IC697BEM733 rev. B or later) which contains a built–in bus switching relay. Bus
Switching Modules and Remote I/O Scanners are the only devices that can be directly
connected to redundant bus cables.
Bus Stubs Connect Other Devices to a Dual Bus
Other Genius devices, such as I/O blocks and additional Remote I/O Scanners, can be
interfaced to a dual bus by short lengths of unterminated cable called a bus stubs.
Typical arrangements are shown on the following pages. Up to seven devices can be
installed on a bus stub (plus the device that is connected to the dual bus). Each device
on a bus stub counts toward the total of 32 devices on the Genius bus.
The total length of all bus stubs on a bus should be 100 feet or less. Within each 20%
section of the actual bus length, the total maximum stub length is 20 feet. This can be
divided into shorter stubs, provided that the total length in each 20% of the bus is 20 ft.
or less.

For example, for a trunk cable 3000 ft. long, 20% of the trunk cable length is 600 ft.
Therefore, 20 ft. of bus stub cable can be located within any 600 ft. section of the bus.
There might be two 10 ft. stubs with up to 8 devices each, or four 5 ft. stubs, with fewer
devices on each.

Redundant Bus Configuations
Many different redundant bus configurations are possible. Three basic ways of using a
Remote I/O Scanner with a redundant bus are described below.
H
A Remote I/O Scanner can be installed directly on both cables of the dual bus
pair. The Remote I/O Scanner is configured to operate as a bus switching device in
addition to performing its normal remote drop functions.
Here, two single–rack remote drops are installed on a dual bus. The Remote I/O
Scanner in each remote drop would be set up as a bus switching device.

bus switching is controlled by a Remote I/O Scanner , as shown below, the devices
on the bus stub are not part of the remote drop. Their data does not count toward
the remote drop’s data total.

A Remote I/O Scanner can be located on a bus stub. The bus switching device to
which the bus stub is connected can be another Remote I/O Scanner, as shown
below, or a Genius block with a Bus Switching Module attached.
In this example, there are two remote drops installed directly on a dual bus. A
third remote drop and some Genius blocks are installed on a bus stub connected to
one of the Remote I/O Scanners. That Remote I/O Scanner acts as the bus
switching device. A remote drop on a bus stub can accommodate up to 128 bytes
of inputs and 128 bytes of outputs, and may include expansion racks.

Configuration
A remote drop can be fully configured using Logicmaster 90–70, or automatically
configured using a Genius Hand–held Monitor. Differences between the two
methods are explained below. Optionally, a previously–configured remote drop can
be reconfigured using datagrams.
Remote Drop Configuration with Logicmaster 90–70
Logicmaster 90–70, release 3.0 or later can be used to configure a remote drop for any
type of host. Either serial or parallel Logicmaster can be used. For serial Logicmaster,
the connection to the remote drop can be direct, or via a multidrop network. Direct
connection or a Hand–held Monitor is needed to configure the SNP ID of the remote drop, before
multidrop communications with it are possible.
Logicmaster 90–70 release 4.01 or later, which provides reference checking through
the use of a common folder, is preferred for configuring a Series 90–70 PLC with
remote drops. Chapter 4 explains how to configure a remote drop using Logicmaster
90–70 software which is Release 4 or later.
Appendixes C and D give instructions for configuration using Release 3 Logicmaster
90–70 software.
Remote Drop Configuration with a Genius Hand–held Monitor
A Genius Hand–held Monitor , version 4.0 (IC660HHM501G) or later, can be used to
configure a remote drop that does not include Analog Expander modules. If Analog
Expanders are present, Logicmaster 90 must be used for configuration.
The I/O modules in the remote drop cannot be individually configured with a
Hand–held Monitor; they will operate in default mode. HHM configuration
instructions are given in chapter 6.
Configuring a Remote Drop using Datagrams
The configuration of a remote drop can be completed or changed by sending it
datagrams, as shown in the table on the following page. The Write Map datagram will
supply Series 90–70 data types and lengths, and a Series 90–70 SNP ID for the remote
drop.
Series 90–70 Remote I/O Scanner User’s Manual – July 199218
Configurable Features
The following table summarizes configuration options for a remote drop, and
compares them to the PLC configuration required with a remote drop. The remote
drop can be configured, or reconfigured, using Logicmaster 90–70 or a Genius
Hand–held Monitor, or datagrams. If the configuration is not protected, as explained
on the next page, a reconfiguration will replace part or all of an existing configuration,
regardless of the configuration method originally used.

Configuration Protection
After configuring a Remote Drop, it is important to prevent inadvertent change while
the system is in operation. For this reason, Logicmaster 90–70 automatically protects
any configuration you download to a Remote I/O Scanner.
A configuration done with a Hand–held Monitor should be protected as described in
chapter 6.
Any Hand–held Monitor used with the system while it is operating should be set up
to prevent undesirable configuration changes:

To prevent access to restricted HHM configuration options, remove the HHM key.
Caution
If configuration protection is removed from the Remote I/O Scanner
and the Hand–held Monitor’s Change Block ID option is
ENABLED, the HHM’s automatic configuration capability can
overwrite any existing I/O configuration, including one created using
Logicmaster 90–70, or downloaded using a Write Map datagram.
This automatic reconfiguration will also set any module options (see
the table above) back to their defaults.

This chapter describes procedures for installing the racks and modules in a remote
drop, grounding equipment, connecting the Genius bus, completing SNP connections,
and attaching a programmer.
Hardware Packaging
Each Series 90–70 rack is shipped in its own carton, without a power supply. The
power supply and all of the Series 90–70 modules are shipped in individual boxes.
When multiple modules are included in one shipment, individual module boxes are
packaged either two, five or ten boxes to a carton.
Verify that all components of the system have been received and that they agree with
your order. If the items received do not agree with your order, call Programmable
Control Customer Service, toll free, in Charlottesville, V A at 1–800–432–7521. A
Customer Service representative will assist you.

Preinstallation Check
Carefully inspect all shipping containers for damage during shipping. If any part of
the system is damaged, notify the carrier immediately. The damaged shipping
container should be saved as evidence for inspection by the carrier.
As the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for damage
incurred during shipment. However , GE F anuc will fully cooperate with you, should
such action be necessary.
After unpacking the Series 90–70 PLC racks, modules, and other equipment, record all
serial numbers. Serial numbers are required if you should need to contact Product
Service during the warranty period of the equipment. Complete all software product
registration cards, and return them to to GE Fanuc.
All shipping containers and all packing material be saved should it be necessary to
transport or ship any part of the system.

System Grounding Procedures
All components of a control system and the devices it is controlling must be properly
grounded.
H
Ground conductors should be connected in a tree fashion with branches routed to
a central earth ground point. This ensures that no ground conductor carries
current from any other branch. This method is shown in the figure shown below.
H
Ground conductors should be as short and as large in size as possible. Braided
straps or ground cables (typically green insulation with a yellow tracer – AWG
#12 or larger) can be used to minimize resistance. Conductors must always be
large enough to carry the maximum short circuit current of the path being
considered.
