AN-X-GENI Module Overview
The AN-X-GENI communications module connects a ControlLogix PLC
or other device to a Genius I/O network, over Ethernet.
The module supports scheduled connections with a ControlLogix
processor, over Ethernet, so the ControlLogix processor can read inputs
from the Genius network and write outputs.
The AN-X module acts as a scanner on the Genius network. It supports
up to 31 Genius blocks.
The AN-X-GENI module has a web interface for configuration. You can
communicate with the module using any standard web browser such as
Internet Explorer.
A watchdog timer is implemented in the module’s hardware. If the
firmware does not kick the watchdog within the timeout period the
watchdog times out and places the module into a safe fatal failure state.
The module firmware can be updated over Ethernet using the Windows
utility supplied. Refer to page 62 for details.
