Prosoft AN-X3-GENI EtherNet/IP™ to GE Genius™ I/O Gateway

The EtherNet/IP™ to GE Genius™ gateway allows an Allen-Bradley®

Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) to control GE Genius I/O

devices. This gateway allows a phased migration approach to be used

when upgrading or replacing GE Genius based 90-30™ and 90-70™

controllers. The gateway provides automatic creation of the Genius scan

list and generates the associated RSLogix™ 5000 tags reducing

engineering effort. Monitor mode allows verification of your conversion

logic using live I/O data without impacting the running legacy system.

Once the new PAC is commissioned the legacy I/O can be upgraded one

module or one rack at a time as scheduled downtime is available. This

gateway minimizes the risk of excessive downtime when upgrading

legacy control systems.

Features

 Configures through a web browser (No separate configuration software

required)

 Customizable configuration files provide additional flexibility

 Supports offline configuration through a .CSV file

 Monitor mode enables testing and verification of PAC logic before controlling

physical I/O, reducing the risk of production loss

due to programming errors

 View diagnostics with a web browser enabling remote monitoring and

troubleshooting

 Micro SD card backs up configuration files - Can be transferred to the unit to

minimize downtime in the event of a disaster
