AN-X3-GENI
January 2024
Configuring Genius I/O and Ethernet/IP Scheduled Data
The AN-X-GENI uses two text files for configuration. The I/O configuration text file defines the
Genius I/O Blocks and Devices the AN-X will scan. The Ethernet/IP configuration file defines
data mapping between the Ethernet/IP Scheduled Owner and the I/O Blocks and Devices.
The AN-X-GENI Module is generally configured with 'Auto Config' which generates I/O and
Ethernet/IP config files. Auto Config sends Init messages to all Genius nodes. If a node exists, it
replies with it's device type. The drop's configuration information is used to build the I/O and
Ethernet/IP text configuration files.
The Auto Config text configuration files may be used as is, or retrieved, modified and sent to the
AN-X.
