Description

The RX3i Genius Communications Gateway, IC695GCG001 (or GCG001), interfaces Genius
IO devices on a Simplex Genius Serial Bus to an EMERSON PROFINET IO Controller.

The GCG001 operates as a Genius Bus Controller on a Genius network. It scans the Genius
IO devices configured to it, retrieving input data and providing output data. It then
exchanges that data with its configured PROFINET IO Controller over its Ethernet interfaces
at the configured production rate. The GCG001 can manage communications for up to 31
Genius IO devices on a single Genius Serial Bus.
The GCG001 also operates as an IO Device on PROFINET. It may be controlled by any of the
following PROFINET IO Controllers:
• PNC001 (the RX3i rack-mounted PNC module), or by
• CPE330 LAN 2 when configured as a PROFINET LAN, or by
• CPE400 LAN 2 when configured as a PROFINET LAN.
Thus, when correctly configured, the entire Genius Bus, including the GCG001 itself,
becomes visible to the controlling PLC. Note that the GCG001 operates only with EMERSON
PLC PROFINET IO Controllers.
PROFINET operates on an Ethernet network. If the Ethernet network or Genius serial bus
communications are lost, the GCG001 manages I/O states according to the individual
module configurations.
Both PROFINET and Genius may be set up in Redundant configurations. These are discussed
later in this manual.
