AN-X3-GENI
January 2024
Anything after a semicolon on a line is treated as a comment.
ClxName
The first line in the file identifies the AN-X module. AN-X uses this nameas the base tag name
portion of the ControlLogix aliases for the Genius data.
The ClxName consists of a line with the keyword ClxName, followed by a space or comma and
the name you give the emulated ENBT (see page 35)
Example:
ClxName, AnxGeniMas
ClxPrefix
The ClxPrefix is used in the alias names AN-X creates for import into RSLogix 5000. AN-X
prefixes each name with the ClxPrefix. The ClxPrefix can be used to distinguish aliases for the
same Genius serial bus address on different Genius networks when the ControlLogix processor
has connections to more than one AN-X3-GENI.
For example, if the ControlLogix has connections to two AN-X3-GENI modules, each
controlling a different Genius network, each Genius network could have a block with the same
serial bus address. Using a different ClxPrefix in the configuration file for each AN-X3-GENI
makes the aliases for the two AN-X modules distinct.
The ClxPrefix consists of a line with the keyword ClxPrefix, followed by a space or comma and
the prefix text.
Example:
ClxPrefix,GENI1_
Scheduled Connections
Each scheduled connection to the AN-X begins with a line that consists of the keyword ClxSlot
followed by a space or comma and then a number from 0 to 15
Example:
ClxSlot, 0
Each scheduled connection consists of output data and input data.
The section that defines the scheduled outputs from the ControlLogix processor for that
connection begin with a line with just the keyword DataOutput.
The section that defines the scheduled inputs to the ControlLogix processor for that connection
begin with a line with just the keyword DataInput.
