PAGE 8 23 SEP 1999 CH.1: INTRODUCTION
2. – 4. A PLC is the main controlling elem ent of the G enius Network and contains the Genius Bus
Controller (GBC) module, which functions as the master for the Genius Network. Communications over
the Genius Network are coordi nated via the master device. The GBC serves as an int erface between the
PLC and the Genius Network. The Genius Network contains up to 32 devices.
5. – 6. The GEN250/251 allow communications over a Genius Network by providing a communication
port between an AV-300i drive and a master device such as a Genius Bus Controller (GBC), which is
located in a PLC.
The GEN250/251 serve as Serial Bus Interfaces (SBI) and are GENA based. Thus, the GEN250/251 are
slave only Genius comm unic ations devices and can not control other dev ices on the Genius bus. They
also can not look at other devic e data. Communication is accomplished using t he standar d Genius
format by sending Broad cast (Glo bal) Data to the GBC and listening to Directed Contro l Data
GBC. The GEN250/251all ow up to 32 words of B r oadc ast Data and up to 16 words of Directed Data to
be configured per drive.
The GEN250 and the GEN251 have identical functions but differ physically. The GEN250 is placed
internally
reason for the external m ounting capability is that some applications require the instal lation of an
additional option card (DGF Option Card) in the AV-300i drive where a GEN250 is typic ally insert ed.
Thus, the GEN251 can be used as an interface in such cases, because it is external to the AV-300i. (The
DGF Option Card is discussed in Ch apter Two.)

NOTES
CH. 2: DRIVE OVERVIEW 23 SEP 1999 PAGE 11
CHAPTER 2: DRIVE OVERVIEW
2.1 General
It is important to have a basic understanding of how the AV-300i Drive interacts with the Genius Serial
Bus Interface (SBI ) such as the GEN250/ 251.
2.2 Two Versions of SBI Cards Availab le / Using an Additional Option (DGF Card)
There are two versions of the SBI c ar d - the
GEN251.
Note that there instances when the user needs to use both an SBI card as well as a separate opti on
called a DGF card. Only one option c ar d (either the GEN250 internal SBI card or the DGF card) can be
installed within the drive. If the applic ation requires
must be mounted
the drive. If the applicati on does not r equire a DGF card, either the GEN250 SBI card or the GEN251
SBI card can be used.
The SBI provides a communi c ations path between itself and the drive. The SBI can ac c ess any
predefined parameter within t he AV-300i drive. Reference the AV-300i instruction manual f or a
description of each of the available drive paramet er s.
2.3 High and Low Priority Communication Channels
The SBI provides two communic ations channels to and from the drive, high priority and low priority. A
maximum of 16 directed control word parameters and 32 global data word parameters are allowed. Of
these, up to 6 can be assigned to the high pri or ity channel. The balance must be assigned to the to the
low priority channel . All parameters assigned to the high prior ity channel are exchanged with the drive
every 2 milliseconds. The drive can also pack/unpack up to 16 high priority bit parameters into/fr om a
single high priori ty word parameter. If this feature is used, 5 high priority word parameter s and 16 hi gh
priority bit param eters can be processed. Due to the relatively small number of parameters available in
the high priorit y channel, these parameters should be reserved for the most critical parameters.
To access each low priori ty par am eter, the SBI must poll the drive one paramet er at a time. Thi s process
is very time consuming. A minimum of 100 milli seconds is required to access each drive parameter. The
SBI can also pack/unpack up to 16 low prior ity bit parameters into/f r om a single low priority word
parameter.

2.4 DGF Parameters
The DGF provides an additional group of low priority parameters independent of the drive's parameters.
The only way to directly ac c ess the DGF param eters is via the low priority communic ations channel.

CHAPTER 3: GEN250/251 COMMUNICATIONS (SBI CARD)
3.1 GEN250/251 Operati on
Automatic Data Transfer is a type of Genius communication that c an be used between the G enius Bus
Controll er (GBC) and the SBI.
The automatic data t r ansfer type of communication uses broadcast (global) data to transfer inf ormation
from the GEN250/251to the GBC, and directed control data to transfer information from the GBC to the
SBI. With this data type, the GBC is always communicating with the SBI.
3.2 Automatic Data Transfer
To communicate with G enius using Automatic Data Transfer, all of t he requi r ed par am eter information
previously discussed in the Drive Overview section (the global data to transfer information from the SBI,
and Directed Cont r ol Data t o transfer data from the GBC to the SBI) must be configured and l oaded into
the SBI.
The GEN250/251 configuration is accomplished using the GE ToolBox software configur ation tool. The
configurati on por tion consists of the Genius bus configur ation parameters and two memory maps, t he
global data memory map, and the directed control data memory map. The memory maps associat e
parameter names (or parameter numbers) and other paramet er information with corresponding G enius
data words. The GE ToolBox confi gur ation tool uses “pick lists” for choosing par ameters. The pick lists
change depending on which ac c ess method is chosen. This eliminates the need to manually determine
all of the information described in the Drive Overvi ew secti on.
The global data mem ory map contains a parameter name (or parameter number) and other parameter
informati on for eac h global data word from the drive to the GBC. The directed cont r ol data memory map
contains a param eter nam e ( or parameter number) and other parameter information for each directed
control word from the GBC to t he drive. Once the memory maps are created using GE ToolBox, they are
downloaded into the GEN250/251 non-volatil e memory .
The software configur ation tool is setup in such a manner so that when the user choose s a parameter
from the “pickli st” , t hat param eter is set at that global data word or directed data word. When the
GEN250/251scans a configuration, it separates the hi gh pr iority words and the low priority words and
stores them in two differ ent arrays.
3.3 GEN250/251 to/from GBC Communication using Global Data
After the configur ation is downloaded from the configuration tool to the SBI, the GEN250/251 t hen
configures the drive. The drive must be made aware of all of the high priority parameters (both Word and
Bit) that need to be passed between itself and the GEN250/251.
High priority par am eters are passed automatically between the drive and the GEN250/251 every 2
milliseconds.
PAGE 14 23 SEP 1999 CH.3: GEN250/251 COMM.
Low priority par am eters are polled by the GEN250/251 as fast as the low pri ori ty c ommunications channel
allows. Each dir ected data parameter is individually polled, and then each global data par am eter is
individually polled; this sequence is repeated i ndefinitely. The greater the number of low priority
parameters that are c onfigured, the longer this polli ng pr oc ess takes. T he time required for the
GEN250/251 to poll one low priority drive parameter is greater than 102 milliseconds.
WARNING: If using the Toolbox on-line diagrams, t he low pri or ity parameters between the SBI and
the drive may cease to functi on. This is of concern, because the drive m ay stop updating low priority
parameters when on-line diagrams are displayed. This incl udes the r epor ting of the Bus Loss
Alarm.
3.4 SBI (GEN250/251) Conf ig uration Procedures using GE Toolbox Softw are
3.4.1 Initial Steps Befor e S tarting Configuration
Note: It is important to consult Section 1.3 prior to configuration. Section 1.3 provides a
suggested order for conf igurat ion and setup and contains a detailed li st of resource i nformation.
1. Prior to configuration, analyze the specifications and requirements of the applic ation. Become familiar

a. Determine which param eters must be used to meet the requirements and specif ic ations of the
applicati on.
Required parameters must be determined before starting conf igur ation procedures for the
SBI (GEN250/251).
b. Determine which of the required paramet er s need to be high priority or low priority when
communicati ng with AV-300i Drive. High priority parameters can be accessed much more quickly than
low priority par am eters. A maxim um of six hi gh pri ori ty Directed Control Data param eters and six high
priority Global Data parameters can be configured for each AV-300i.
3. Install the SBI Car d (GE N250/251) into the AV-300i Drive. (See Chapter 8 for procedures.)
4. Wire the Genius Network and t he S BI Car d (GE N250/251). (See Chapter 7 for wiring.)
5. When configuring the AV-300i/HE300GEN250, t her e is terminology that must be
understood. (See Chapter 6.)

3.4.2 SBI (GEN250/251) Configuration Procedures
In this configuration example, the user followed the steps in Sectio n 3. 4.1 and has predetermined
which parameters and prio rities to choose for the two types of data in Genius – Directed Con t rol
Data and Global Data.
To configure for Direct ed Control Data, the parameter for Word0 is going to be “Discrete Bit Word,”
and the parameter f or Wo rd1 is going to be “Speed ref 1.” The user is going to select the words to
be high priority. The user must configure the bits as well. Bit0 is going to be “Enable Drive,” and
the parameter f or Bit 1 is goi ng to be “Star t/ S top.” To configure Global Data, the user employ s the
similar procedur es al though the desired parameter s and priorities can vary.
