11. Configuration of a VersaMax Genius Network Interface Unit (GNIU) is similar to the
process described for the Series 90-70 Remote I/O Scanner.

12. Once all the Genius Devices have been "populated" onto the Genius Bus topology as
shown in Figure 16, click the OK button to save that portion of the configuration.
13. Note that the I/O addresses associated with each Genius Device will have been provided
with default assignments by Machine Edition. Double-click on each Genius device to
examine its properties, and change the I/O assignments where needed. In retrofits, for
example, it will likely be crucial to keep the same I/O assignments from the earlier
implementation so that the controller logic can operate with the same I/O allocations as
before. For each "location" on the Genius Bus, keep a note of the assigned I/O addresses.
14. In Machine Edition, store the Hardware Configuration to the RX3i CPU, which also stores
the GCG001 configuration data to the PNC001.
The following screenshot shows a completed configuration.

For each slot in the BEM733-controlled rack, select a generic I/O device (such as a 16-
point discrete input module or a 4-channel analog output module) and attach that to
its corresponding slot in the I/O rack. Note that actual part numbers have not been
assigned for this procedure. If in doubt, check the data sheet related to each product
number to determine the type of I/O it consumes (Analog or Discrete / Input or
Output) and the number of I/O points it requires.
Once all BEM733-controlled rack slots have been suitably populated, save that
portion of the configuration.
Add a GBI001 to the Genius Bus configuration as described above.
Drill down into the GBI001. A display of VersaMax I/O will be presented.
For each rack and slot controlled by the GBI001, select the VersaMax I/O device that
corresponds with the actual VersaMax device that is in use.
