Click and zoom into 

INIT_GBnn

, so that the “soft” configuration parameters associated with the dual bus may 

be updated. (Note:  in this case 

nn

 represents any of the dual busses that have been included in the project). 

The various parameters are described in the following paragraphs. 

Dual Bus Number 

 

Figure 15: Genus Bus Number Assignment 

BUS.NUM

 

The bus number provides a bus identity to various software components. Each dual 
bus must have a unique value that is in the range of 0 to 15. 

PNC Configuration 

 

Figure 16: PNC Assignments 

BUS.PNC_SLOT

2

 

The PNC slot number is used to identify the slot location in which the PROFINET 
controller is installed. (Up to four PROFINET controllers may be installed in each CPU 
rack). 

BUS.PNC_ADD

 

The PNC address is the input reference that the PROFINET controller utilizes to return 
its status and diagnostic information. It is recommended that the reference should 
be placed in the upper segment of the discrete input references (%I16465 and 
above). 

                                                                 

2

 If using an embedded PROFINET Controller in a CPE400, use slot 0 here. If using an embedded PROFINET Controller in a 

CPE330, use the slot number location of the CPU itself.
