c. Turn on the computer and allow it to boot-up. Turn on the controller’s operating power.
NOTE
The following procedures are limited to the steps necessary to
configure the controller. For more detailed information on the
operation of the zGen2Con software refer to the Innotech Genesis II
Direct Digital Controller User Manual.
d. Using standard Windows procedures, open the Gen2Cfg.320 folder. Note that the
extension “.320” refers to the current software revision and is subject to change as
revisions are made to the software.
e. Click on the Gen2Cfg icon to open the Gen2Con program. The Gen2Cfg screen is
displayed.
f. At the upper-left corner of the Gen2Cfg window, select File and then Open. The Open
File dialog box is displayed showing the configuration files that can be selected.
Configuration files are indicated by the file extension: “.c2f”.
g. Select the configuration file for the controller to be configured then click OK. The
window for the selected configuration is displayed. The window will show the block
diagram representing the controller’s configuration.
h. At the top of the window select Communicate and then Transfer to DDC. The Gen2Cfg
software begins to automatically transfer the configuration data to the controller by way
of the Gen2DDE.320 software (DDE = Dynamic Data Exchange). Follow instructions
given on the screen.
i. It is safe to exit the Gen2Cfg program at this point.
j. If the next commissioning step: Initial Tests is to be performed soon, leave the controller
and the PC turned on. Otherwise, remove operating power from the controller and PC if
an appreciable delay is expected before performing initial tests.
4-1.7. INITIAL TESTS. Initial tests of the system involve the use of the Gen2Mon
software to perform a thorough checkout of the system. The basic approach to performing
these tests is to use the software to apply simulated inputs to the controller and to check the
effect on the output circuits. The following paragraphs describe the Gen2Mon software and
the checks to be performed as part of initial tests.
4-1.7.1. Gen2Mon Software. Initial tests of the system are simplified by use of the
Gen2Mon monitoring and debugging utility software. This software allows the operator to
trace the flow of control and to view the various values within a configuration residing in a
controller.
With Gen2Mon, each controller can be monitored one at a time in real time. Therefore,
what appears on the screen is what is actually happening inside the controller. Gen2Mon
must have a constant connection to the controller to be able to operate. This connection is
either through a controller network or through the RS232 serial port.
The Gen2Mon allows the operator to monitor any output value from any block in the
configuration. Also, Gen2Mon has a Simulation Mode that allows the operator to control
the values of any, or all, of the controller’s input blocks. In this manner, the action of a
