EtherNet/IP to GE Genius Gateway
AN_X_GENI
The EtherNet/IP to GE Genius gateway allows an Allen-Bradley Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) to control GE Genius I/O devices. This gateway allows a phased migration approach to be used when upgrading or replacing GE Genius based 90 -30s and 90 -70s controllers. The gateway provides automatic creation of the Genius scan-list and generates the associated RSLogix 5000 tags reducing engineering effort. Monitor mode allows verification of your conversion logic using live I/O data without impacting the running legacy system. Once the new PAC is commissioned the legacy I/O can be upgraded one module or one rack at a time as scheduled downtime is available. This gateway minimizes the risk of excessive downtime when upgrading legacy control systems
General Features:
- Configures through a web browser (No special configuration software required)
- Customizable configuration files provide additional flexibility
- Supports offline configuration through a .CSV file
-
Monitor mode enables testing and verification of PAC logic before controlling physical I/O,
reducing the risk of production loss due to programming errors
- View diagnostics with a web browser enabling remote monitoring and troubleshooting
GE Genius Bus Features:
- Supports sending and receiving Global Data on the Genius Network
- Supports standard and extended baud rates: 38, 76.8, 153.6, and 153.6 Kbps
- Configurable Bus Address
- Auto-Configuration feature discovers and maps up to 31 Genius Blocks of I/O [Online]
- Multi-colored LED that indicates the status of the Genius Bus network connection
EtherNet/IP Features:
- Supports up to 16 I/O connections for real time control
- Each connection can have a unique RPI from 5 - 750 mSec allowing the prioritization of I/O data
- Auto-Configuration feature maps the discovered GE I/O points into tags in the PAC controller
- Diagnostic data can be mapped into PAC memory making this data available to HMIs
