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 GE 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.
SHLD GENIUS Figure 2: GCG001 Module Note: Although the hardware supports the 10/100BASE TX Ethernet standard, PROFINET I/O over wired infrastructure must be 100Mbps full-duplex or faster. 10Mbps should not be used for PROFINET. PACSystems RX3i Genius Communications Gateway GFK-2892F...
If configured to support Genius Hot Standby, the loss of a single GCG001 will be tolerated; otherwise not. For system standards, general operating specifications, and installation requirements, refer to the PACSystems RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314. GFK-2892F March 2019...

PROFINET Communications Communications on an RX3i PROFINET network use the standard PROFINET communications described in this section. Note, however, that the Genius Gateway GCG001 is constrained to work only with GE PROFINET PLC products. Application Relationships Before a PROFINET IO-Controller can exchange data with a PROFINET IO-Device such as the GCG001, an Application Relationship (connection) must be established between the devices.
Translates PROFINET packages that are sent by the PROFINET Controller into Genius Datagrams. This includes Datagrams that originated at the PLC through use of COMMREQ or Data_Init_Comm instructions. For example, a COMMREQ is used to generate a Clear Fault Report datagram. GFK-2892F March 2019...

12. Beginning with V2.2.4.1 Fault Status Bits are available to monitor each device on the bus. Refer to Section 5.1.3 for additional information. For Dual Bus Redundancy, GCG001 firmware version 2.2.0 or later is required; for all other redundancy modes, version 1.1.0 (minimum) is required. GFK-2892F March 2019...
Prior to GCG version 2.2.4.2, in PME Hardware Configuration, configure the BBD100 as a BBD101. Refer to Series 90-70 Remote I/O Scanner User’s Manual, GFK–0579, Chapter 1 for a list of S90-70 modules supported by BEM733. PACSystems RX3i Genius Communications Gateway GFK-2892F...
As the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipment.

A fault or other PROFINET diagnostic data exists on the Gateway CONNECT — indicates status of the connection to a PROFINET controller. One or more connections with GE PROFINET Controllers have been established to this device. Device trying to connect to a controller.
Note that when a GCG001 is replaced by a successor GCG001, it is important to ensure that the successor is configured for PROFINET in the same manner as its predecessor. The quickest way to ensure this is to remove the SD Card from the original and insert it into the successor GCG001. GFK-2892F March 2019...

Discrete outputs in the I/O controlled by the GR7 and GNIU also behave in this way. The GCG001 can be used to achieve Genius Dual Bus Redundancy when used in conjunction with application code provided by GE Automation & Controls. Please contact Customer Support for assistance. PACSystems RX3i Genius Communications Gateway GFK-2892F...
All of the I/O scans described above are asynchronous and may vary depending on the path through the RX3i logic, traffic on the PROFINET and traffic on the Genius Bus. Should I/O update rates be a concern for the application, it would be prudent to perform a worst-case analysis of the interacting scan cycles. GFK-2892F March 2019...
Genius Device will continue to indicate Fault conditions; however, no datagram will be issued for each fault occurrence. An intermediate solution is to periodically query each such device with a Read Diagnostics datagram (Section 6.4.4) and parse the response in order to detect faulted circuits.
