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.

Installation
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
The module is sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
WARNING!
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or
semiconductors. Follow these guidelines when you handle the module:
•Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential
•Do not touch the connector pins
Power
AN-X requires a DC power input of anywhere from 12 to 24 VDC.
Left to right the pins on the power connector are chassis ground, negative
voltage and positive voltage.
The chassis ground should be connected.
Power consumption internally is 250 mA @ 12VDC or 125 mA @
24VDC.
The part number for the power connector is Phoenix MSTB
2.5/3-ST-5.08
Genius Cabling and Termination
Refer to Genius I/O System and Communications User’s Manual,
GEK-90486F-1 for detailed information on Genius cabling and
installation.
The module has a 5-pin Phoenix connector for connection to the Genius
I/O network. The part number for the Genius bus connector is MSTB
2.5/5-ST-5.08

5 Serial 1
Ensure that the physical ends of the Genius I/O network are properly
terminated. The AN-X module does not have any internal termination.
WARNING! Set the baud rate and serial bus address for the AN-X-GENI module
before connecting to the Genius network.
Ethernet Cabling
AN-X has a standard RJ-45 connector for connecting to Ethernet.
If you are connecting AN-X to an existing network through a router or
switch, use a standard Ethernet cable.
If you are connecting directly between a computer and AN-X, use a
crossover cable.
Software Installation
You must uninstall any previous version of the software before you can
install a new version. Use the Windows Control Panel Add and Remove
Programs to remove the old version.
Insert the CD supplied with the AN-X module and run the program
setup.exe on the CD.
