CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Product Descrip ti on
The Horner APG option c ar d (HE300G E N150) enables GE Adjustable Frequency Drives (models AF-300
G11 or P11) to reside direc tly on a Genius network. The option card is installed within the AF-300 G11 or
P11 (AF-300) and pr ov ides drive control and data access capabilities to a PLC.
For clarification pur poses, the combination of the HE300GEN150 O ption Card and the GE Drive
Note:
(AF-300 G11 or P11) is ref er r ed to as “AF-300” throughout the manual.
1.2 Genius Network Overvi ew
Genius is a high-speed, tok en pas si ng network, which is used in many industr ial applications. T he
network supports up to 32 devices with baud rates of up to 153.6Kbaud. A wide variety of Genius
devices exist, which can reside on the network rangi ng from intelligent I/O block s to more sophisticated
communications devices such as personal com puters. In recent years a number of third party devic es
have emerged including operator interface units, valve manifolds, and RF tag reader s.
Figure 1.1 – Typical Genius Network
In a typical industrial application (Figur e 1.1), Genius devices are distri buted throughout a fairl y wide area,
wired in a daisy chained fashion with a single shiel ded, t wisted pair. The option card (GEN150) allows
the AF-300G11/P11 drives to be distributed on the factor y floor on the same twisted pair as the I/O bloc k s
and other Genius devic es. The option card provides a new level of PLC integr ation for the drives.
PAGE 8 13 APR 2000 MAN0373-01
CH. 1
The physical natur e of t he Genius network can allow for great savi ngs i n wiring, as many discrete wires
can be replaced wit h a singl e c ommunications cable. This allows tasks such as start ing, stopping,
reversing, and changing speeds to be accomplished over the LAN. In addition, drive parameters and
diagnostic dat a previously not availabl e to the PLC are easil y accessible.
1.3 Genius Network Archi t ect ure
The Genius network archi tecture is depicted i n Figure 1.1. Normally, a GE Fanuc programmable
controller runs the network through a PLC module called a Geni us Bus Contr oller (GBC). Up to 32
devices are wired i n a daisy chained fashion. Network devi c es support f our communications termi nals,
Serial 1, Serial 2, S hield In and Shield Out. The network is terminat ed at each end with an appropriate
terminating resistor.
Each device on the net work (up to 32 devices) is assigned a Genius Bus Address ranging from 0 to 31.
Bus Controllers are typically assigned a Genius Bus Addres s of 31. In applications with redundant bus
controllers, the backup bus controller is address 30. Bus addre ss 0 is normally reserved for the Genius
Hand Held Monitor.
Among other tasks, t he bus cont r oller allows Genius I/O (including the drives) on the network to be
mapped into PLC memory, monitoring inputs and controlling outputs. Intelligent, data intensive Genius
devices also share thei r data with the PLC through communicati ons with the bus controller.
1.4 Genius Communicat io ns Services
The option card allows the drive to reside directly on the Genius LAN providing drive control and dat a
access capabil ities to the PLC. There are three types of communications that can occur on the Genius
LAN. These are I/O Servic es, Global Data, and Datagrams. The option card supports all three of these
communications types.
1.4.1 I/O Service
I/O Service is the m anner in whic h data is transferred to and from Genius I/O Bl oc k s. Out puts are
selectively written to each I/O block from the CPU bus controller during each scan. The outputs written by
the CPU bus controller to the AF-300 drives include start /stop, fwd/rev, frequency (speed), fault reset, and
other outputs. M any I/O bl oc k s al so broadcast inputs to the bus every bus scan. The AF-300 does not
support thi s means of c ommunication as it broadcasts it s inputs (f eedback) as Global Data.
1.4.2 Global Data
Global data is data br oadc ast over the network at large, with no particular destination. Eac h Genius
device has the capacity to broadcast up to 128 bytes of global dat a. Intelligent devices, which resi de on
the LAN (bus controllers, OIUs, etc.), can read this data off the network. These devices are intelligent
and are able to interpret the data, which differs from Genius device to Genius device. The option c ar d
utilizes global data to broadcast drive feedbac k data over Genius. Drive feedback data consi sts of
parameters such as speed reference, torque, current, faults, and function settings.
The option card allows the system designer to select whic h data is broadcast by the drive as global dat a.
This is import ant f or two reasons. First, the data, which is desired to be monitored on a regular basis
varies from applic ation to applicati on. Second, the amount of global data broadcast by the drive is
directly proportional to response time. The abili ty to control the amount and content of global data output
is a vital feat ur e of the option c ar d.
MAN0373-01 13 APR 2000 PAGE 9
CH.1
In general, the pr oc edur e for configuring the drive’s Gl obal output data is a process of mapping the gl obal
output data words to drive parameters. There are two different means in which this mapping of global
data output words to drive parameters can be accomplished. These include mapping from the key pad
and from the driv e configur ation utility. The keypad conf iguration method is described i n Chapter 2.
1.4.3 Datagrams
Datagrams are messages sent over the Genius LAN from one device to another . Datagrams are typically
performed in PLC applications through a communications request or COMREQ. Typically, CO MREQs
are used for occasi onal data access. For instance, COMREQs are not typically used to monitor speed
reference on a conti nuous basis, but it might be used to change a drive par am eter once per shift or once
per week. Datagram s (t hr ough COMREQs) c ould also be used to upload or download all drive
parameters over the net work. In PLC applications, a bus controller is required to perform datagr am s or
COMREQs.

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION
2.1 Installatio n Procedures for the Option Card (GEN150)
The option card is designed to be m ounted to the AF-300 drive in the same locati on as the k ey pad. The
same mounting instructions found in the GE FUJI AF-300 Drive Instr uc tion Manual(s) for mounting the
keypad to the drive are also used for mounting the option car d to t he drive. The keypad is, then, mounted
to the option card. ( Reference numbers for the drive instruc tion manuals are found in Section 1. 5 in this
manual.)
The following ar e the necessary steps for installi ng the opti on c ar d:
1. Power down the drive.
2. Remove the keypad f r om the top cov er.
3. Mount the option c ar d in the sam e loc ation where the keypad was removed. (Sec uri ng the two
screws, one in the upper left and the other in the lower right).
4. Mount the keypad to t he option card. (Securing the two screws, one in t he upper left and the
other in the lower right).
5. Connect the remov able terminal strip with the Genius field wiring to the option card.
6. Power up the drive as needed.
Figure 2.1 shows an example of how the option card is installed i n an under 40 Horsepo wer drive.

2.2 Genius Wiring
Up to 32 devices are wired in a daisy-c hained fashion in a Genius network. ( S ee Figure 1.1 for an
overview of Genius network. ) The network is terminated at eac h end with an appr opr iate terminating
resistor (Figure 2.2). The value of the resistor is chosen to match the characteristic im pedanc e of the
cable. Refer to GE G enius I/O and System Communications Us er Manual (GE-90486) for help in
selecting an appr opr iate cable type for the application.
If the characteristic impedance of the cable is unknown, 120-ohm terminating resistors need to be
