* The PANELWARE Genius Controller can receive Global Data from any connection capable of supplying
it, and can send its own Global Data to other devices on the bus. Memory types %GI and %GAI refer to
receiving global data in bit or word mode, respectively; %GQ and %GAQ refer to broadcasting global
data in bit or word mode, respectively.
** The special variables available for the Genius Internal connection are defined as follows:
● Interface. A value of 0 indicates no error; an non-zero value indicates an internal hardware failure.
HW_STATUS (internal data type of BYTE) — hardware status of the C400 Controller Genius
Please note the code for later reference when communicating with GE Fanuc Technical support.
● BUS_ERR_CNT (internal data type of WORD UNSIGNED) — the count of the total
Genius bus errors detected by the C400 Controller Genius interface since the Controller
was last reset.
● BUS_SCAN_T (internal data type of WORD UNSIGNED) — the current bus scan time,
as observed by the C400 Controller Genius interface and updated each bus scan. It
represents the amount of time in milliseconds between the Controller’s two previous
turns on the bus. If the Controller cannot access the Genius bus, the bus scan time will be
set to 65535.
● BUS_ADR (internal data type of BYTE) — the Genius serial bus address assigned to the
C400 Controller via the device number rotary switches when the Controller was last
reset.
● GENI_FW (internal data type of BYTE) — the firmware revision of the C400 Controller
Genius interface hardware. For proper display of the revision, use an OUTPUT
BIT/BYTE field with one place after the decimal point to yield a display format of X.Y,
where “X” is the major revision and “Y” is the minor revision.
