Data definitions consist of lines that define the mapping between the
ControlLogix data table and the Genius module.
They consist of lines of the form
CLX_offset (optional), Genius_Location, tagname
The CLX_offset is the offset into the data for the connection. You can
select the offset where the data is located or you can leave it blank and
AN-X will automatically assign the offset.
The Genius_location consists of an address in the form bSBA where
SBA is the 2-digit serial bus address (SBA) of the module on the Genius
bus, from 1 to 31.
Example:
To associate ControlLogix offset 27 with the outputs from the Genius
module at serial bus address 4 and assign it tagname Block4Outputs, add
the following line to the DataOutput section of the connection
27, b4, Block4Outputs
Example:
To map the inputs from the Genius module at address 31 to the next
available ControlLogix location and assign it tagname Block31Inputs,
add the following line to the DataInput section of the connection
, b31, Block31Inputs
Global Data
To map the Global data sent by AN-X to the output data for a
connection, add the following line to the DataOutput section of the
connection
GlobSend
AN-X obtains the length of the global data to map from the Genius I/O
configuration file (see page 21).
Program Mode Behaviour
The ControlLogix processor that is the exclusive owner of the connection
to the generic module in slot 0 controls how the AN-X-GENI module
scans the Genius network. For that reason, when you map the data, you
must always include a connection to the generic module in slot 0.
When the ControlLogix processor with the exclusive owner connection
to slot 0 on the AN-X is in program mode or the connection to slot 0 is
stopped or inhibited, the AN-X stops scanning the Genius network.
