Installation Instructions for Innotech Genesis Systems
Edition 011100 4-22
4-1.6. LOAD SOFTWARE AND CONFIGURE THE CONTROLLER(S).
The Innotech configuration software program was prepared for your Genesis System at the
factory before delivery of the system. The software contains all the data for internally
configuring the controller(s) to perform the specific functions for which it was intended. Until
the controller is configured, it can not accept input signals or produce outputs.
To configure the controller(s), a Windows-based PC and the applicable version of the
Innotech Gen2Config program are required. A software disk is provided with the Genesis
hardware at delivery. The disk contains a program called Gen2Works, which is a collection of
several Innotech programs, including Gen2Config. The other software programs supplied in
Gen2Works are for the purpose of enhancing operation and de-bugging of the system. But it
is the Gen2Config software that is required for commissioning the system.
Paragraph 4-1.6.1 contains instructions for loading the Gen2Works software into your PC and
Paragraph 4-1.6.2 explains how to configure the controller using the Gen2Config program.
NOTE
The instructions in the next two paragraphs are generalised
procedures based on the assumption the operator is familiar with
operation of a PC in a Windows environment.
NOTE
Loading the Gen2Works software requires entry of an Activation Key.
The Activation Key is a password provided by Innotech to permit
access to the Gen2Works software. If an Activation Key has not been
provided, contact Innotech Control Systems at the address/phone
numbers shown on the cover of this manual. Note that the Activation
Key is only effective for one session. If Setup is to be run at a later
date, a new Activation Key is required.
