Product Description
Revision Letters: GL
Firmware version: 3.20
Firmware upgrades: 44A748000-G10
Compatibility
Any type of PLC or computer capable of controlling the bus can be used
as the host. This Network Interface Unit is compatible with:
1. When a Genius NIU (all versions) is on a Genius bus controlled by
a Series 90-70 or PACSystems RX7i, the Series 90-70 Genius Bus
Controller must have firmware version 5.4 or greater. Upgrading
the 90-70 Genius Bus Controller firmware to version 6.0 (or higher)
is strongly recommended.
2. When a Genius NIU (all versions) that has one or more expansion
racks is on a Genius bus controlled by an Rx3i PLC, the PLC must
use CPU firmware version 2.90 or higher.
3. When a Genius NIU (all versions) that has one or more expansion
racks is on a Genius bus controlled by a Series 90-30 PLC, the
PLC must use one of the following CPU models:
– CPU366, 367, or 374 (any version) or
– CPU350, 352, 360, 363, or 364 with firmware release 10.0 or
higher.
If any of the following are used, either a Loss of rack or Addition of
rack fault will cause the CPU to go to Stop/Fault mode:
– CPU350, 352, 360, 363, or 364 with firmware version 9.11 or
lower; or
– CPU311, 313, 321, 323, 331, 340, 341, or 351 (all versions).
4. VersaMax analog I/O modules IC200ALG320, 321, 322, and 432
that are used on Genius NIU expansion racks must be revision B or
greater. VersaMax analog I/O modules IC200ALG430 and 431 that
are used in Genius NIU expansion racks must be revision C or
greater.
5. When a Genius NIU (version –GJ or later) is used in a control loop
that is seeking SIL2 or SIL3 status, Proficy Machine Edition version
5.60 plus SIM 8 (or later) is required to configure Enhanced
Diagnostics mode.
▪ The Series 90-70 PLCs must be the IC697CPM790. Hardware
version -Cx or higher of the CPM790 is required. Firmware
version 6.04 (-xD) or higher of the CPM790 is required.
▪ The Series 90-70 Genius Bus Controller can be either:
IC687BEM731 (single-width): Version –AB (or higher) is
required (Mgr firmware release 6.0; Comm firmware release
4.8).
IC697BEM713 (standard-width): Version -BZ (or higher) is
required (Mgr firmware release 6.0; Comm firmware release
4.8).
▪ GMR Software IC641SWP745 version C (or higher) is required
(GMR System Software version 4.05; GMR Configurator
version 8.06)
▪ The safety-certified versions of the VersaMax power supply
and I/O carriers must be used. See the TUV website for
specifics (http://www.tuv-fs.com/).
6. To assure that the host PLC will display the correct reference
addresses for Loss and Addition of I/O Faults reported by the
Genius NIU, the host controller must be one of the following:
– IC697CPM790: firmware version 6.04 or higher
– Other Series 90-70 controllers: Future.
– PACSystems RX7i controllers: Firmware version 5.50 or higher.
7. To use Enhanced Diagnostics mode in any GMR System, version
4.05 of the GMR System Software is required.
Do not enable Enhanced Diagnostics Mode on a Genius NIU that is
part of a GMR system that is using GMR System Software version
4.04 or earlier.
8. To use the GMR CPU Redundancy mode in any GMR system,
version 4.05 of the GMR System Software is required. Do not set
the CPU Redundancy parameter to GMR on a Genius NIU that is
part of a system that is using GMR System Software version 4.04
or earlier.
9. VersaMax analog input modules IC200ALG240, IC200ALG620 and
IC200ALG630 installed in Genius I/O stations must be upgraded to
firmware version 1.20 or later. Previous versions of analog input
module firmware may produce unexpected Loss of I/O Module
faults when used with any Genius NIU firmware version. See
“Problems Resolved for Release 3.20” for more information.
