AN-X2-GENI (AN-X-GENI/B)
May 2013
3.
Assign a data address and set the length to match the length configured in the AN-X
90-30
To configure the 90-30 to receive global data from the AN-X:
1.
Add a device to the bus controller at the AN-X serial bus address
2.
Set the device type to Generic
3.
Set the %AI address and set the input length to match the data length configured in
the AN-X
Series Six
If a Series Six controller will be receiving the global data from the AN-X, add a line to
the beginning of the ControlLogix configuration file as follows:
Ge6Addr, nnnnn
nnnn is a number from 0 to 16383 that is the register where the data is to go in the Series
Six PLC(s). All Series Six PLCs on the Genius network configured to receive global data
will put it in the same place.
Set the Series Six to receive global data as you would from any other node. It will appear
at the address you assigned.
Receiving Global Data on the AN-X2-GENI
When you perform an autoconfiguration, if the other node is producing global data when
you autoconfigure the AN-X2-GENI, the autoconfiguration will include the global data.
If you are configuring the Genius network manually, add a line of the form
Block=nn,Inp=inlength,Out=0,,Part="partnumber",Desc="description",EndBlock
where
Block is the Genius serial bus address of the node producing the global data
inlength is the length of the data in bytes
partnumber is a maximum of 15 characters, enclosed in double quotes
description is a maximum of 95 characters, enclosed in double quotes
partnumber and description are used for comments only. You can put whatever you want
in them.
To receive the global data in the ControlLogix, you must map the received global data to
the input data for a ControlLogix connection.
In the ControlLogix configuration, add a line to the DataInput section of the connection
of the form:
CLX_offset (optional), Genius_Location, tagname
