AN-X3-GENI
January 2024
The output length is defined by the keyword Out= and can range from 0 to 128 bytes. If the
output length definition is omitted, the output length defaults to a length of 0.
If the AN-X3-GENI is to control the outputs on a module, include the keyword Scan. If the AN-
X3-GENI is only to monitor the inputs on a module, omit the keyword Scan.
The part number for a module is defined by the keyword Part= and can be from 1 to 15 characters
long. The part number text must be enclosed in double quotes, for example
Part="IC660BBD024".
The description for a module is defined by the keyword Desc= and can be from 1 to 95 characters
long. The description text must be enclosed in double quotes, for example Desc="12/24VDC 32
Ckt Source I/O Block".
The part number and description are used for comments only. You can put whatever you want in
them.
Each definition ends with the keyword EndBlock, which is required.

When AN-X creates a Genius I/O configuration file after an autoconfiguration, it inserts part
numbers and descriptions from its internal module database.
