CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Product Descrip ti on

The Horner APG option c ar d (HE300G E N150) enables GE Adjustable Frequency Drives (models AF-300
G11 or P11) to reside direc tly on a Genius network. The option card is installed within the AF-300 G11 or
P11 (AF-300) and pr ov ides drive control and data access capabilities to a PLC.

For clarification pur poses, the combination of the HE300GEN150 O ption Card and the GE Drive

Note:

(AF-300 G11 or P11) is ref er r ed to as “AF-300” throughout the manual.

1.2 Genius Network Overvi ew

Genius is a high-speed, tok en pas si ng network, which is used in many industr ial applications. T he
network supports up to 32 devices with baud rates of up to 153.6Kbaud. A wide variety of Genius
devices exist, which can reside on the network rangi ng from intelligent I/O block s to more sophisticated
communications devices such as personal com puters. In recent years a number of third party devic es
have emerged including operator interface units, valve manifolds, and RF tag reader s.

Figure 1.1 – Typical Genius Network

In a typical industrial application (Figur e 1.1), Genius devices are distri buted throughout a fairl y wide area,
wired in a daisy chained fashion with a single shiel ded, t wisted pair. The option card (GEN150) allows
the AF-300G11/P11 drives to be distributed on the factor y floor on the same twisted pair as the I/O bloc k s
and other Genius devic es. The option card provides a new level of PLC integr ation for the drives.

PAGE 8 13 APR 2000 MAN0373-01
CH. 1

The physical natur e of t he Genius network can allow for great savi ngs i n wiring, as many discrete wires
can be replaced wit h a singl e c ommunications cable. This allows tasks such as start ing, stopping,
reversing, and changing speeds to be accomplished over the LAN. In addition, drive parameters and
diagnostic dat a previously not availabl e to the PLC are easil y accessible.

1.3 Genius Network Archi t ect ure

The Genius network archi tecture is depicted i n Figure 1.1. Normally, a GE Fanuc programmable
controller runs the network through a PLC module called a Geni us Bus Contr oller (GBC). Up to 32
devices are wired i n a daisy chained fashion. Network devi c es support f our communications termi nals,
Serial 1, Serial 2, S hield In and Shield Out. The network is terminat ed at each end with an appropriate
terminating resistor.

Each device on the net work (up to 32 devices) is assigned a Genius Bus Address ranging from 0 to 31.
Bus Controllers are typically assigned a Genius Bus Addres s of 31. In applications with redundant bus
controllers, the backup bus controller is address 30. Bus addre ss 0 is normally reserved for the Genius
Hand Held Monitor.

Among other tasks, t he bus cont r oller allows Genius I/O (including the drives) on the network to be
mapped into PLC memory, monitoring inputs and controlling outputs. Intelligent, data intensive Genius
devices also share thei r data with the PLC through communicati ons with the bus controller.

1.4 Genius Communicat io ns Services

The option card allows the drive to reside directly on the Genius LAN providing drive control and dat a
access capabil ities to the PLC. There are three types of communications that can occur on the Genius
LAN. These are I/O Servic es, Global Data, and Datagrams. The option card supports all three of these
communications types.

1.4.1 I/O Service

I/O Service is the m anner in whic h data is transferred to and from Genius I/O Bl oc k s. Out puts are
selectively written to each I/O block from the CPU bus controller during each scan. The outputs written by
the CPU bus controller to the AF-300 drives include start /stop, fwd/rev, frequency (speed), fault reset, and
other outputs. M any I/O bl oc k s al so broadcast inputs to the bus every bus scan. The AF-300 does not
support thi s means of c ommunication as it broadcasts it s inputs (f eedback) as Global Data.

1.4.2 Global Data

Global data is data br oadc ast over the network at large, with no particular destination. Eac h Genius
device has the capacity to broadcast up to 128 bytes of global dat a. Intelligent devices, which resi de on
the LAN (bus controllers, OIUs, etc.), can read this data off the network. These devices are intelligent
and are able to interpret the data, which differs from Genius device to Genius device. The option c ar d
utilizes global data to broadcast drive feedbac k data over Genius. Drive feedback data consi sts of
parameters such as speed reference, torque, current, faults, and function settings.

The option card allows the system designer to select whic h data is broadcast by the drive as global dat a.
This is import ant f or two reasons. First, the data, which is desired to be monitored on a regular basis
varies from applic ation to applicati on. Second, the amount of global data broadcast by the drive is
directly proportional to response time. The abili ty to control the amount and content of global data output
is a vital feat ur e of the option c ar d.

MAN0373-01 13 APR 2000 PAGE 9

CH.1

In general, the pr oc edur e for configuring the drive’s Gl obal output data is a process of mapping the gl obal
output data words to drive parameters. There are two different means in which this mapping of global
data output words to drive parameters can be accomplished. These include mapping from the key pad
and from the driv e configur ation utility. The keypad conf iguration method is described i n Chapter 2.

1.4.3 Datagrams

Datagrams are messages sent over the Genius LAN from one device to another . Datagrams are typically
performed in PLC applications through a communications request or COMREQ. Typically, CO MREQs
are used for occasi onal data access. For instance, COMREQs are not typically used to monitor speed
reference on a conti nuous basis, but it might be used to change a drive par am eter once per shift or once
per week. Datagram s (t hr ough COMREQs) c ould also be used to upload or download all drive
parameters over the net work. In PLC applications, a bus controller is required to perform datagr am s or
COMREQs.

1.5 Required Referen ces and Resou rces

This manual is to be used in conjunction with the GE FUJI Electri c instruc tion manuals for the AF-300

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION

2.1 Installatio n Procedures for the Option Card (GEN150)

The option card is designed to be m ounted to the AF-300 drive in the same locati on as the k ey pad. The
same mounting instructions found in the GE FUJI AF-300 Drive Instr uc tion Manual(s) for mounting the
keypad to the drive are also used for mounting the option car d to t he drive. The keypad is, then, mounted
to the option card. ( Reference numbers for the drive instruc tion manuals are found in Section 1. 5 in this
manual.)

The following ar e the necessary steps for installi ng the opti on c ar d:

1. Power down the drive.

2. Remove the keypad f r om the top cov er.

3. Mount the option c ar d in the sam e loc ation where the keypad was removed. (Sec uri ng the two
screws, one in the upper left and the other in the lower right).

4. Mount the keypad to t he option card. (Securing the two screws, one in t he upper left and the
other in the lower right).

5. Connect the remov able terminal strip with the Genius field wiring to the option card.

6. Power up the drive as needed.

Figure 2.1 shows an example of how the option card is installed i n an under 40 Horsepo wer drive.

2.2 Genius Wiring

Up to 32 devices are wired in a daisy-c hained fashion in a Genius network. ( S ee Figure 1.1 for an
overview of Genius network. ) The network is terminated at eac h end with an appr opr iate terminating
resistor (Figure 2.2). The value of the resistor is chosen to match the characteristic im pedanc e of the
cable. Refer to GE G enius I/O and System Communications Us er Manual (GE-90486) for help in
selecting an appr opr iate cable type for the application.

If the characteristic impedance of the cable is unknown, 120-ohm terminating resistors need to be

CHAPTER 4: GENIUS BUS CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION

4.1 PLC Configuration

This chapter discusse s the c onfiguration of the P LC in Genius applications using the AF-300 drive with
GEN100 Genius opti on boar d. As mentioned in a previous chapter, Genius LANs performing control
require a Genius Bus Controller. Most GE Fanuc PLCs offer a module whic h acts as the bus controller.
This document discusse s conf iguration of the Series 90 PLCs -- Ser ies 90-30 and Series 90-70.

4.2 Series 90-70 Confi gu rat io n

For successful integration of the Series 90-70 GBC, t he doc um ent GF K - 0398, Series 90-70 Genius Bus
Controller User's M anual is required.

Configuration of Series 90-70 PLC system requir es the use of Logicmaster 90-70, the personal c om puter
software package used f or ladder logic programming and system setup. Configuration of the Genius
devices residi ng on the LAN with Logicmaster 90-70 cannot be ac c om plished until the Genius Bus
Controll er (GBC) is confi gur ed. For instructions on that process, consult GFK-0398 from GE Fanuc.

After configuration of the GBC has been completed, the Genius devices residing on the LAN may be
configured by zooming into the slot containing the G B C. A Logicmaster screen si m ilar to that below will
appear:

Figure 4.1 - Logicmaster 90-70 Config uration Screen

PAGE 22 13 APR 2000 MAN0373-01
CH.4

This is a representat ion of the Genius LAN, with each device shown as a "block". Because only eight
devices can be shown on the screen at once, the screen "wraps around" from left to right. The left and
right cursor keys are used to select the device to be configured. When the desired block is highlight ed,
the type of Genius devi c e c an be select ed usi ng the function keys. The AF-300 is confi gured as a
"Generic Genius I/O Dev ic e". This device is selected by pressing the "Ot her" (F7) function key, and
selecting t he "G eneri c I/O" dev i c e from the devic es li sted.

Figure 4.2 – Generic I/O Device Configuration S creen

Below, each configuration parameter is described. The proper setting for a driv e with a default data
configuration is also listed.

%AI Length (Default = 6)

The number of %AIs assigned to the A F-300 drive should be equal to the number of global data words
broadcast by the drive.

%AQ Length (Default = 1)

The number of %AQs assigned to the A F-300 dr ive should be equal to the number of directed control
words.

Figure 4.3

lists the default drive data configuration.

MAN0373-01 13 APR 2000 PAGE 23

CH.4

Reference Addresses

In addition to the l ength of each of the four I/O references (%I, %Q, %AI, %AQ), the starting reference
address for each I/O type m ust be set for each of the I/O references with a non-zer o length. This
reference address should not conflict with any other I/O module or Genius device.

Redundancy

If the AF-300 is used in a redundant application, this parameter should be set to YES.

Input Default

The input defaults can be set to OFF or HOLD, as desired.

Outputs Enabl ed

If outputs from the PLC ar e to be enabled (most cases), this parameter should be set to YES.

Note that the reference t ypes available for mapping into Series 90- 30 memory are more numerous
than those avail abl e for the S eries 90-70. This is due to the fact that the Series 90-70 perf orms
more data type checkin g than the Series 90- 30. This extra checking requires that the nu mber and
type of memory referen ces to mat ch exactly in the Series 90-70. The Series 90-30 requires only
that the amount of data match exactl y.

4.3 Series 90-30 Confi gu rat io n

For full information on the configuration of Genius LANs with the Series 90-30 PLC, consult the GE Fanuc
document GFK-1034, Series 90- 30 Genius B us Controller Us er ' s Manual.

The Series 90-30 PLC is confi gur ed usi ng Logicmaster 90-30. In the confi gur ation package, the Geni us
Bus Controller (GBC) configuration screen appears as follows:

Figure 4.3 – Series 90-30 GBC Configuration Screen

PAGE 24 13 APR 2000 MAN0373-01
CH.4

The devices residing on the Genius LAN are configured in t he lower "Device Data" section of the screen.
The cursor keys are used to navi gate around the screen. When the cursor is on the " Dev ic e Data"
section of the screen, the PageUp and PageDown keys are used to select t he Dev ic e number. Once the
proper device num ber is di spl ay ed for the AF-300, the following parameters can be set.

Device Type

The AF-300 is configur ed as a GE NE RIC devic e type, which is the default.

Input References (In pu t 1 Ref, Input 2 Ref)

These parameter s 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 AF­300 can be divided into t wo different areas of PLC memory. For instance, par t of the global data can be
mapped into %I and the r em ainder into %AI. Two non-consecutive areas of t he same reference type can
also be mapped. For instanc e, part of the global data can be mapped to %R1 and the rem ainder to
%R500.

Input Length (Input 1 Len, Input 2 Len)

These parameter s specify how much global data is broadcast by t he AF- 300. If the Input Reference
specified is bi t-type (%I, %G), the length parameter is i n bits. If the Input Reference specified is word type
(%AI, %R), the length par am eter is in words. The total amount of data mapped i nto t he Series 90-30
must exactl y match t he tot al am ount of global data broadcast by the AF-300.

If bit-type par am eters are used then they must be defined in the fir st global words of the drive. They must
also be configur ed as bi t-type data in the bus controller

Output References ( Ou tput 1 Ref, Output 2 Ref)

These parameter s specify where the AF-300's dir ected c ontrol data is mapped in Series 90-30 mem ory.
Legal referenc e types for these parameters are %Q, %G, %AQ, and %R. As you can see, the direc ted
data input by the AF-300 can be divided into two different areas of PLC m em ory. 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 c ould 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 parameter s specify how much directed data is received by the AF-300. If the Output Reference
specified is bi t-type (%Q, %G), the length parameter is i n bits. If the O utput Reference specified is word
type (%AQ, %R), the length par am eter is in words. The total amount of data mapped fr om t he S eri es 90­30 must exactly match the total amount of global data received by the AF-300.

If bit-type par am eters are used then they must be defined in the fir st global words of the drive. They must
also be configur ed as bi t-type data in the bus controller .

CHAPTER 6: DATAGRAM ACCESS

6.1 General

Global and direct ed data are the standard methods used to send and receiving drive parameter data.
Datagrams can also be used to send and receive drive parameter data. Sending and receiving data using
datagrams is done using a c ommunications request (COMM_RE Q) in the PLC logic. There two
communications requests that are support by the drive card, Write Device (20H) and Read Device ( 1E H ). The
specific s on using communications requests are found in the Series 90-30 Genius Bus Control ler User’s Manual
(GFK-1034) or refer to Appendix A for the Write and Read datagram COM M _REQ v alues. The f ollowing
sections descri be specific portions of the datagrams that are specific to communicating with the option card.

6.2 Write to Drive using Datagram

The Send Datagram COMM _REQ ( 14) i s used to send a Writ e Device datagram. The Write Device datagram is
used to write from the PLC to param eters in the drive. The COMM_REQ allows multipl e sequential parameters
to be written. A starting par am eter number is supplied, the number of param eters and the values of the
parameters. The following is an example of a Write Device dat agr am to set the drive speed to 30.00Hz
(Figure 6.1).

6.4 PLC Ladder Code

In Examples 1 and 2, the COMM_REQ requires four inputs; Power, IN, SY SID and TAS K. The Power i nput is
assigned to a contac t t hat is on for only one scan. Leaving this contact on causes the dat agr am to be sent
multiple times and slows down the response time on the Genius LAN. The I N input is set to a %R reference that
contains all of the registers determined in the ex am ples. The SYSI D input specifies which rack and slot has the
Genius Bus Controll er that receives this command. The upper byt e is the r ac k number and the lower byte is the
slot number. The value of 0005 in the examples represents rack 0 slot 5. The TASK input is al ways set t o a 1.
