SECTION 1- PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
1-1. INTRODUCTION.
This manual is intended to provide qualified technical personnel with complete and easy-tofollow instructions for installation, checkout and commissioning of the various devices in the
Innotech Genesis Systems. Although the intent of this manual is to simplify the installation task,
instructions contained in this manual are based on the assumption that installation of a Genesis
System is will be accomplished by technically qualified personnel. Also, these instructions
presuppose that installation personnel are familiar with local regulations, codes and safety
requirements.
NOTE
Installers should familiarise themselves with the content of this
manual before attempting installation of the Genesis System.
1-1.1. SYSTEMS COVERED BY THIS MANUAL Because Innotech Genesis
Systems are intended for use in a variety of applications, the systems are designed on a
modular basis. Modularity provides the most economical and efficient means of adapting the
system to the customer’s specific requirements. Also, in seeking to improve customer
satisfaction through product improvement, Innotech often provides updates and revisions to its
Genesis product line. The modularity concept and equipment revisions result in a large array
of different types of hardware available to the customer.
The systems covered in this manual are the Genesis I and the Genesis II Systems. These
systems are based on one or more controllers as the major control units interconnected with
several ancillary units. These major control units included in this manual are:
• Genesis I Digital Controller
• Genesis II Digital Controller
• Genesis II Mid Points Controller (GENII MPC)
For purposes of explanation within this manual, a System is defined as one or more controller
units interconnected with various ancillary units for the purpose of performing specific
functions. A Genesis I System contains one or more Genesis I Digital Controllers as the
control unit(s). A Genesis II System consists of one or more Genesis II Digital Controllers
and/or GENII MPCs as the major control unit(s). Some of the ancillary units included in the
Genesis Systems are (refer to the System Description Manual for descriptions of these units):
• Several types of Local Expansion Module (LEMs)
• Several types of Remote Expansion Module (REMs)
• Genesis II Multipoint Module (GENII MP REM)
• Remote Module Interface (RMI)
• Miscellaneous Ancillary Units described in the individual Data Sheets in Appendix B.

SECTION 2- MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
2-1. INTRODUCTION.
This section of the manual contains instructions and related data to facilitate the installation of
components of the Genesis I or Genesis II System. Because of the physical similarities of the two
systems, instructions contained in this section apply equally to the Genesis I and Genesis II
Systems, except where otherwise noted.
It is recommended that the main units of the Genesis System, such as the Digital Controller, Mid
Points Controller, Local Expansion Modules, and Remote Expansion Modules be mounted in
steel cabinets to minimise the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Network
components, such as PCs, printers and modems, should be installed in accordance with standard
computer installation practises.
Because of the designed-in flexibility of the Genesis Systems, they can be installed in a wide
variety of configurations depending on the user’s preference. For this reason it is not possible to
include all the various installation configurations in this manual. Instead, this manual provides
examples of installations that are considered typical. Innotech recognises that the installation
examples described in this manual may not be in total agreement with the user’s requirements.
However, information in this document should be used as a guide for all installations, regardless
of whether the specific circumstances match the examples given. In all cases, installation
personnel should familiarise themselves with the information contained in this section.
NOTE
If required, additional installation recommendations can be provided
from Innotech Control Systems Australia upon request.
2-2. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONS.
The following paragraphs contain physical descriptions, including dimensions and installationrelated information, for the main units of the Genesis System. These paragraphs are intended to
provide the installer with sufficient information to permit proper installation of the various units.
For units of equipment not included in the following paragraphs, refer to the appropriate data
sheet in Appendix B.
2-2.1. CONTROLLERS. Controllers are the main processing units that provide over-
all control of the Genesis I or Genesis II systems. The types of controller units included in this
manual are:
• Genesis II Digital Controller
• Genesis I Digital Controller
• Genesis II Mid Points Controller (GEN II MPC)
2-2.1.1. Genesis II Digital Controller. The Genesis II Digital Controller is used
only with a Genesis II System. The controller’s case is made of ignition-resistant grade
ABS plastic which meets the Fire Rating requirements of AS420. The unit’s electronic
circuit boards are housed in a two-piece plastic case consisting of a base and a lid. The
Edition 011100
2-1
Installation Instructions for Innotech Genesis Systems
plastic base has eight mounting holes; each hole is 4mm in diameter. Not all of the eight
holes are required for mounting, providing the unit is securely installed.
There are four slots in the bottom circuit board (motherboard) - two slots at each end.
These slots facilitate the clamping of the plastic lid to the motherboard. To remove the
plastic lid from the motherboard, press firmly inwards at each end of the plastic lid-piece to
disengage the clip-in fitting and lift away simultaneously (see Figure 2-1). Installation of
the plastic lid is similar to the removal procedure; insert the clip-in fitting at one end of the
plastic lid into the slots provided on the motherboard. Then, clip the opposite end of the
plastic lid into the slots at that end of the motherboard. Pressing the two ends of the plastic
lid together can assist in the operation.
The Digital Controller’s outline dimensions are shown in Figure 2-2.

2-2.1.2. Genesis I Digital Controller. The Genesis I Digital Controller is used only
in Genesis I Systems. The main physical difference between the Genesis I and Genesis II
controllers is that the Genesis I Digital Controller does not contain a display or operator’s
keyboard as does the Genesis II controller. This means that, unlike the Genesis II Digital
Controller, providing access to controls and indicators is not a consideration when installing
the Genesis I Digital Controller. The Genesis I and Genesis II Digital Controllers are
similar in all other respects, including dimensions.
2-2.1.3. Genesis II Mid Points Controller. The GENII MPC Mid Points
Controller module (Figure 2- 3) is a state-of-the-art processing system that performs the
same controller functions as a digital controller. The GEN II MPC can be used in a Genesis
II System as the main controller or as a supporting controller. It is designed for DIN Railmounting inside a control panel. The MPC does not have external controls or indicators.

2-2.2. EXPANSION MODULES. Expansion modules increase the capability of a
controller by allowing more input and output devices to be connected to it. The following
paragraphs describe two classes of expansion modules: Local Expansion Modules and Remote
Expansion Modules.
2-2.2.1. Local Expansion Modules. The term: Local Expansion Module (LEM) is
the collective name applied to the following types of units used to configure the hardware to
the customer’s requirements.
• Analogue Input Module (AIM)
• Digital Input Module (DIM)
• Digital Output Module (DOM)
Up to eight LEMs can be included in the system in any combination. They are designed for
easy mounting on standard DIN Rails. A typical LEM is shown in Figure 2-4. The LEM
shown in Figure 2-4 is a Digital Input Module; however the three types of LEM are similar
in appearance and are identical in their dimensions.
There are restrictions on how far apart the LEMs can be from each other and from the
controller; these requirements are explained in Paragraph 2-3.

2-2.2.2. Remote Expansion Modules. The term: Remote Expansion Module
(REM) is the collective nomenclature applied to the several types of units used to configure
the hardware to the customer’s requirements. The REMs listed below are similar in
appearance and of the same approximate dimensions as the LEMs and perform the same
basic functions as the LEMs, but from a greater distance. However, REMs and LEMs
cannot be used together with the same Digital Controller or GENII MPC.
• GENII AI REM Analogue Input Module
• GENII AO REM Analogue Output Module
• GENII DI REM Digital Input Module
• GENII OPTO DI REM Opto-Isolated Digital Input Module
• GENII DO REM Digital Output Module (Also called a Relay Output Module)
Figure 2-5 shows a typical REM; the example shown is GENII AI REM. REMs are DIN
Rail-mounted.
In addition to the types of REMs listed above and represented by Figure 2-5, there are three
additional types of REMs or REM-related modules described in the following paragraphs:
• GENII RMI Remote Module Interface
• GENII CS REM Control Station Module
• GENII MP REM Multipoint Module

2-2.2.2.3. Multipoint Module. The GENII MP REM Multipoint Module is a
DIN Rail-mounted device that provides input/output expansion capability for the
associated Genesis II Digital Controller or GENII MPC. It is designed to be located at a
remote location. The GENII MP REM is enclosed in a square case made of flameresistant Astrene M650 IR plastic. It is identical in appearance and dimensions to the
GENII MPC (Figure 2-3).
NOTE
Unless otherwise noted, Installation Instructions are based on the
assumption that the system to be installed is a local Genesis II System
consisting of one Genesis II Digital Controller and three types of
LEMs. Installation Instructions for other types of hardware, such as:
Genesis I Digital Controllers, GENII MPCs, and REMs are contained
in Paragraph 2-4 - Difference Data.
2-3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
A steel enclosure is recommended to contain the system with the aim of minimising EMI from
surrounding equipment. To facilitate the number of cables entering and leaving the enclosure, the
minimum dimensions of slotted cable ducts should be 45mm x 45mm with 65mm clearance from
the cable ducts to the terminals of the units.
Where LEMs are used, every effort should be made to locate these units adjacent to the controller
to minimise problems with connecting cables due to the critical lengths and segregation
requirements.
The communications cable between the Digital Controller and the LEMs is an Innotechmanufactured item; part number GenII LEM Cable. The cable is made in 150mm segments;
therefore, it is important that the LEMs are located as close as possible to the Digital Controller
and placed side-by-side on the DIN rail.
Figure 2-8 shows an example of a typical Genesis System layout in an equipment enclosure.

large number of commercial sources. The rail is usually manufactured from galvanised steel
and may be provided with a finish. It is typically available in 2-metre lengths. DIN rail cutters
are available commercially and are recommended; however, for smaller installations, a
hacksaw may be used to cut the rails to the required length. Figure 2-9 is provided to assist in
planning layout of the LEMs; the figure shows the dimensions of a typical DIN rail section.

2-3.2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES. To ensure continued reliable operation of
the Genesis II System, the following installation guidelines should be observed:
• The Genesis II Digital Controller should be installed in a position that provides easy
access to the front panel and sufficient room for power, and input/output cabling. Also,
the Digital Controller should be mounted such that the controls are in easy reach of the
user.
• Install LEMs as close as possible to the Digital Controller and side-by-side on the DIN
rail. Refer to Paragraph 2-3 and Figure 2-8.
• Placement of the Genesis II Digital Controller should take into account the optimum
viewing angle of the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which is approximately 45o vertically
and 90o horizontally (see Figure 2-10).
• Do not mount any unit of the system near high voltage, high current cables or sources of
strong radio frequency emissions such as transmitter antenna cables.
• The ambient temperature of the Digital Controller and LEMs at the installation site should
not exceed the 0-40ºC temperature range. Ideally, the installation site should have a stable
ambient temperature close to 20oC.
• Mount the units in an area with minimum vibration and minimum exposure to mechanical
damage.

2-4. DIFFERENCE DATA.
This paragraph contains difference data unique to installation of the Genesis I Digital Controller,
the GENII MPC, Genesis II REMs and related devices. Installation Instructions provided in
Paragraph 2-3 are applicable except where stated otherwise.
2-4.1. REM LIMITATIONS. The following limitations apply to the installation of
REMs:
• LEMs and REMs cannot be used with the same Digital Controller or GENII MPC.
• REMs can only be used with Genesis II Digital Controllers that have been upgraded to
Version 4.0 firmware.
NOTE
The Version 4.0 Configuration Software automatically configures the
Digital Controller and produces a printout which lists the types and
quantities of REMs that can be used with a given Digital Controller.
The following information provides generalised REM type/quantity
requirements that can be used for planning purposes.
• Only one GENII RMI Remote Module Interface can be used with a Genesis II Digital
Controller or GENII MPC. It must be installed adjacent to the digital controller/MPC
• Up to 15 REMs can be connected to a single GENII RMI. However, each REM has a
Resource Count that represents its requirements for controller resources. In no case can
the Resource Count for a Digital Controller/GENII MPC exceed 36. Refer to Table 2-1
for a list of REM Resource Counts.
• The REMs must be installed within 500 metres of the RMI.

NOTE
If any data presented in this manual disagrees with information in the
applicable instruction manual, information in the manufacturer’s
instruction manual takes precedence. Customers are encouraged to
contact Innotech Control Systems Australia for further information or
clarification of information presented herein. Use the address or
phone/fax number shown on the cover of this instruction manual.
Cabling plays an important role in the installation of the Genesis Systems. The following general
cabling guidelines should be observed:
• In all cases, use electromagnetic-shielded cable for sensor wiring.
• When necessary to protect cabling from physical damage, both shielding and physical
protection may be provided by running the cable in a metal conduit. Alternatively, use steel
wire armoured (SWA) cable, which also contains an electromagnetic shield.
• Avoid running cables in the vicinity of high voltage power cables or cables carrying switching
voltages/currents. This especially applies to sensor signal cables.
• Interconnecting cables must have multi-strand conductors with a cross-sectional area of 1mm
for each conductor.
• The earth cable to Genesis II enclosures must be 2.5mm
• For analogue inputs to the controller, a 16-conductor (0.5mm
2
.
2
) shielded cable is required.

3-3.1. GENESIS II DIGITAL CONTROLLER. Figure 3-2 shows the
input/output connection groups for the Genesis II Digital Controller. The controller uses
Phoenix type plug-in terminal strips located around the controller’s perimeter. Both single row
and double row terminals are used. Terminals are grouped by function as follows:
Figure 3-2. Genesis II Digital Controller Input/Output Terminals.

Edition 011100
Installation Instructions for Innotech Genesis Systems
3-3.1.1. Power Input. The Genesis II Digital Controller power requirements are:
• 24Vac ±10%, 50/60Hz at 1.0A, or
• 24Vdc ±10%, at 0.75A (Factory Modification is Required)
For 24Vac supply voltages, a safety transformer with a nominal rating of 30VA must be
used for the Digital Controller. The transformer must be in compliance with EN60742,
designed for 100% duty and fused in compliance with local safety regulations. A single
transformer may be used to supply voltage to more than one unit (such as a Digital
Controller and associated expansion modules) providing the planned load is well within the
transformer’s rating.
The transformer output terminal designated as AC Neutral must be solidly earthed to the
enclosure’s main earth link.
Power input terminals are Terminals 1 and 2 and connected as follows:
TerminalAC SupplyDC Supply
124Vac+24Vdc
20Vac
(Neutral)
Note: Resistance between Terminal 2 and
earth must be 3 Ohms, or less
-24Vdc
3-3.1.2. Digital Inputs. The Genesis II Digital Controller’s eight digital input
channels (Terminals 3–18) provide the capability of directly interfacing to digital input
signal sources such as pushbutton switches and relay contacts. Because each digital input
channel is isolated, the power source for the signal must be external to the controller. This
signal source can be AC or DC. If the source is AC, it can be provided by the auxiliary
transformer. Signal power requirements are:
• 24Vac ± 15%, or
• 24Vdc ± 15% (Factory Modification Required)
There are two terminals associated with each digital input channel. If an external DC signal
source is used, the odd-numbered (left) terminal must be wired as positive and the evennumbered (right) terminal as negative.
Refer to Table 3-2 for digital input terminal number assignments. Signal names assigned to
the terminals are DI1+/− through DI8+/−. DI stands for Digital Input, the numeral
represents the channel number and the + or − indicates the signal polarity when using a DC
signal power source.

Installation Instructions for Innotech Genesis Systems
Table 3-2. Genesis II Digital Controller Digital Inputs.
3-3.1.3. Digital Outputs. Each of the Genesis II Digital Controller’s eight digital
output channels (Terminals 41–64) consists of a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) relay.
Three terminals assigned to each channel represent the associated relay’s Normally Open
(NO), Common (C) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts.
Digital output relay contacts are rated at 240Vac, 2A. Good practice is to use pilot relays
for the actual switching functions, particularly when it applies to inductive loads such as
coils, solenoids and motors. This protects the relays of the digital output channel and has
the advantage of allowing the pilot relays to be installed adjacent to the controlling
switchgear.
Refer to Table 3-3 for digital output terminal number assignments.
Table 3-3. Genesis II Digital Controller Digital Outputs.
Installation Instructions for Innotech Genesis Systems
3-3.1.4. Analogue Inputs. The Genesis II Digital Controller’s eight analogue input
channels (Terminals 21-36) allow the direct interface of various analogue inputs, such as
Thermistor, 0-10Vdc, 0-5Vdc and 4-20mA signals. Each analogue input channel is
configured to the type of input by the use of Analogue Input Signal Conditioners (AISCs).
These are small plug inserts installed during system commissioning (Section 4).
CAUTION
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION MUST BE MADE WHEN USING
LOOP-POWERED 4-20MA INPUTS. BECAUSE THIS TYPE OF
INPUT DRAWS 20MA FROM THE DIGITAL CONTROLLER, A
MAXIMUM OF TWO INPUTS OF THIS TYPE MAY BE USED.
THIS TYPE OF INPUT MUST NOT BE USED ON LOCAL OR
REMOTE EXPANSION MODULES.
NOTE
Terminals 19 and 20 (Figure 3-2) are provided for terminating
analogue cable screens.
There are two terminals associated with each of the eight analogue input channels.
Normally, the odd-numbered (positive) terminal is used for the active analogue input signal
from the sensor. The even-numbered (negative) terminal is used to provide the stimulation
for the sensor or a voltage reference (such as 0 Volts) for an active transducer.
Due to the sensitivity of the analogue input signals, screened cable must be used. The
screens should be terminated at Terminals 19 or 20.
Refer to Table 3-4 for analogue input terminal number assignments. Signal names assigned
to the terminals are AI1+/− through AI8+/−. AI stands for Analogue Input; the numeral
represents the channel number. The + indicates the active signal and the − indicates the
signal reference/return.

3-3.1.5. Analogue Outputs. Sixteen analogue output channels are provided. Each
channel can be configured, through the Genesis II Configuration Software, to operate in
either the Variable Mode or the Heat Valve Mode.
In the Variable Mode, the output is a voltage-analogue signal varying from 0 to +10 Volts
with a maximum current rating of 5mA. In the Heat Valve Mode, the output signal consists
of Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM), 0-10V, high-speed pulses at 5mA. For a description of
PWM as it applies to Heat Valve Operation, refer to the Innotech Genesis II Direct Digital
Controller User Manual.
When using PWM outputs, up to three solid state relays, connected in series, may be used
on each Heat Valve-configured analogue output channel. See Figure 3-3. A maximum of
eight analogue output channels can be applied to Heat Valve operation. For more than eight
Heat Valve outputs, it is recommended that Models IHV4002 or IHV4004 Heat Valves for
Solid State Relays be used. These heat valves are driven by the Digital Controller’s
analogue output channel in the Variable Mode. For more information on these devices,
refer to Data Sheet DS3.31 for Type IHV Heat Valves.

Refer to Table 3-5 for analogue output terminal numbers. There are 16 analogue active
signal terminals (AO1 through AO16), one for each channel and eight return (Common)
terminals. The fewer number of Common terminals is intended to reduce the overall
number of terminals.
Cable screening may be terminated into the Screens Terminals (19 and 20), space
permitting. Alternatively, all cable screens can be combined by soldering within the slotted
cable-routing ducts with a common 1mm2-earth lead connected to Terminals 19 or 20.

3-3.1.7. LEM/REM Connector. The LEM/REM connector is a 10-pin ribbon cable
connector that provides access between the Digital Controller and the expansion modules.
NOTE
When expansion modules are used with a Digital Controller, LEMs
and REMs must not be mixed. Modules used may be either LEMs or
REMs, but not both.
Connectors along the cable are spaced at 150mm intervals; therefore it is critical that the
LEMs are located as close as possible to the Digital Controller and to each other.
REMs access to the Digital Controller is through a GENII RMI Remote Module Interface
Unit. The RMI is installed close to the Digital Controller and connects to it by a short

3-3.2. GENESIS II MID POINTS CONTROLLER. Figure 3-4 shows the
input/output connection groups for the Genesis II Mid Points Controller (MPC). The MPC
uses terminal strips located around the controller’s perimeter. Terminals are grouped by
function as follows:
• Power (Paragraph 3-3.2.1)
• Digital Inputs (Paragraph 3-3.2.2)
• Digital Outputs (Paragraph 3-3.2.3)
• Analogue Inputs (Paragraph 3-3.2.4)

NOTE
Because much of the MPC’s input/output connection information is
similar to that of the Genesis II Digital Controller, the following
paragraphs make frequent reference to related paragraphs in the
Genesis II Digital Controller section. Therefore, readers should
familiarise themselves with the types of data contained in Paragraph
3-3.1 and its subparagraphs before reading further.
3-3.2.1. Power Input. The Genesis II MPC power requirements are the same as for
the Genesis II Digital Controller, except that the MPC contains a third power terminal
(Terminal 3) which is an earth connection point. This is an independent earth connection
point and is in addition to the earthed AC Neutral at Terminal 2. Refer to Paragraph 3-
3.1.1.
3-3.2.2. Digital Inputs. The Genesis II MPC’s digital input channel wiring
information is similar to that of the Genesis II Digital Controller, except that the MPC has
four digital input channels. Refer to Paragraph 3-3.1.2.
The MPC’s digital input terminals are not assigned terminal numbers; however each
terminal is clearly labelled as to its polarity and signal name. Signal names assigned to the
terminals are DI1+/− through DI4+/−.
3-3.2.3. Digital Outputs. The Genesis II MPC’s digital output wiring information is
similar to that of the Genesis II Digital Controller (refer to Paragraph 3-3.1.3), with the
following exceptions:
• The NC output relay contacts are not used. Only the C and NO contacts of the eight
digital output relays are represented at the output terminals.
• Terminal numbers are not assigned, however terminals are clearly labeled as to signal
name: DO1(NO)/(C) through DO8(NO)/(C).
3-3.2.4. Analogue Inputs. The Genesis II MPC’s analogue input channel wiring
information is similar to that of the Genesis II Digital Controller, except that the MPC has
four analogue input channels. Refer to Paragraph 3-3.1.4.
The MPC’s analogue input terminals are not assigned terminal numbers; however, each
terminal is clearly labelled as to its polarity and signal name. Signal names assigned to the
terminals are AI1+/− through AI4+/−.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION MUST BE MADE WHEN USING
LOOP-POWERED 4-20MA INPUTS. BECAUSE THIS TYPE OF
INPUT DRAWS 20MA FROM THE MPC, A MAXIMUM OF TWO
INPUTS OF THIS TYPE MAY BE USED. THIS TYPE OF INPUT
MUST NOT BE USED ON LOCAL OR REMOTE EXPANSION
MODULES.

3-3.2.5. Analogue Outputs. The Genesis II MPC’s analogue output wiring
information is similar to that of the Genesis II Digital Controller (refer to Paragraph 3-
3.1.5), with the following exceptions:
• The MPC only uses four analogue output channels: AO1 through AO4.
• Terminal numbers are not assigned, however terminals are clearly labeled as to signal
name: The two centre terminals of the group of six analogue output terminals are the
signal return (Common) connection points.
3-3.3. GENESIS I DIGITAL CONTROLLER. Figure 3-5 shows the input/output
connection groups for the Genesis I Digital Controller. The controller uses Phoenix type plugin terminal strips located around the controller’s perimeter. Terminals are grouped by function
as follows:
• Power – Same as for Genesis II Digital Controller; see Paragraph 3-3.1.1.
• Digital Inputs – Same as for Genesis II Digital Controller; see Paragraph 3-3.1.2.
• Digital Outputs (Paragraph 3-3.3.1)

3-3.3.4. LEM Connector. The LEM connector is a ribbon cable connector that
provides access between the Genesis II Digital Controller and local expansion modules.
Connectors along the cable are spaced at 150mm intervals; therefore it is critical that the
LEMs are located as close as possible to the Digital Controller and to each other.
3-4. WIRING OF EXPANSION MODULES.
The following paragraphs provide wiring information for local expansion module and remote
expansion modules. LEMs and REMs can be used with Genesis I Digital Controllers, Genesis II
Digital Controllers or Genesis II MPCs. Controllers used with REMs must have Version 4
Firmware installed to support the REM. In no case may LEMs and REMs be used with the same
controller
3-4.1. LOCAL EXPANSION MODULES. Genesis I and II Systems use three types
of LEMs:
• GENII AIM Analogue Input Module
• GENII DIM Digital Input Module
• GENII DOM Digital Output Module.
3-14
Edition 011100
Installation Instructions for Innotech Genesis Systems
Each type of LEM provides four additional signal channels for the controller. The Genesis II
Digital Controller can use up to eight LEMs, in any combination, thus achieving 32 extra
signal channels.
There are critical requirements for the physical placement of the LEMs; refer to Section 2.
When installing the LEM cable between the controller and the LEMs, observe the following
precautions:
• The LEM cable should be run external of cable ducts.
• A maximum of 300mm of LEM cable is allowed between LEMs. The overall cable
length must not exceed 1.5 metres.
• Ensure the LEM cable plug is inserted into the keyed sockets on the controller and LEMs
in the correct orientation.
3-4.1.1. AIM Analogue Input Modules. Each AIM (Figure 3-6) occupies one of
the controller’s analogue input channels; however, each AIM has five analogue input
channels, thus providing the controller with an overall increase of four channels per AIM.
The AIM does not require power terminals since operating power is supplied from the
controller by way of the LEM cable.
The AIM requires an AISC for each input channel to determine the signal type for each
input. An AISC (Part Number GENII AIM AISC) at the AIM’s input to the controller is
also required. AISCs are not provided with the AIM and must be ordered separately. The
computer-generated materials list shows the number of AISCs, of each type required for the
controller and the AIM. The computer-generated wiring diagram shows the locations of the
AISCs. Installation of the AISCs is part of the commissioning process and instructions are
provided in Section 4.

Particular care must be exercised in protecting the analogue signals from electromagnetic
interference of all types and in ensuring the proper termination of analogue cable screens.
Screens of input and output analogue signal cables and the analogue signal return lead to
the controller should be tied together at Terminal 2. Screening integrity must be maintained
at the input terminals of the module and not at entry points to the enclosure or at universal
terminal strips. Figure 3-7 provides an example of cable screen termination for an

3-4.2. REMOTE EXPANSION MODULES. The following paragraphs contain
wiring information for the following types of REMs used in the Genesis II System:
• GENII RMI Remote Module Interface
• GENII AI REM Analogue Input Module
• GENII AO REM Analogue Output Module
• GENII DI REM Opto Isolated Digital Input Module
• GENII DI REM Dry Contact Digital Input Module
• GENII DO REM Relay Output Module
• GENII CS REM Control Station Module
• GENII MZS REM Multi Zone Station Module
• GENII MP REM Multipoint Module.
The RMI functions as a bridge between the controller and the other REMs. Communication
between the controller and the RMI is by way of a ribbon cable connected to the controller’s
LEM/REM Connector. Communication between the RMI and the other REMs is by way of a
standard RS485 Comms cable network.
The method for connecting the modules to electrical power and to the RS485 Comms cable
system is similar for most of the different types of modules, except where otherwise noted.
The following two paragraphs provide detailed instructions for connecting electrical power and
the RS485 system, respectively.
3-4.2.1. REM Power Connections. Electrical power requirements and connections
for all remote expansion modules, except the RMI and MP REMs, are the same. Power
requirements and connection information for the RMI and MP REMs are explained in
Paragraphs 3-4.2.3 and 3-4.2.11 respectively. Information in this paragraph is for all other
REMs.
Power requirements are 24Vac, ±10% at 50/60Hz. Refer to the appropriate paragraph
below for the physical location of the power connection block within each type of REM. At
the power connection block, the 24Vac power terminals are:
• Terminal 1 = 24Vac Supply
• Terminal 2 = 0Vac Supply
• Terminal 3 = Earth
Terminal 3 is for the protection of the RS485 Comms circuitry and must be connected to a
good, electrically bonded earth. This may be the earth bus bar of the switchboard or the
point that connects the chassis of the equipment the module is located in. This connection
is independent of and in addition to the earthed AC Neutral at Terminal 2.

Installation Instructions for Innotech Genesis Systems
3-4.2.2. RS485 Comms Connections. The RS485 Comms link between the RMI
and the other LEMs is designed to allow reliable communications over long distances in
electrically adverse signal conditions.
The following guidelines, which are common to the RMI and all REMs, should be followed
when installing the RS485 Comms network:
• Cables used for RS485 Comms must be shielded, single twisted pair, 120 Ohms
characteristic impedance with 36 to 45 picoFarads per metre capacitance between
conductors.
• The RS485 Comms cable must be organised as a bus topology. See Paragraph A-4.1 in
Appendix A for a description of bus topology. To connect a module to the RS485 cable,
the cable is cut at the point the module is to be connected. Then, the two new cable ends
are wired into the module. The two shields are then terminated at terminals marked
SHLD1 and SHLD2 respectively. “Stub” connections are not allowed in the bus
topology configuration.
• The cable run between the RMI and any other REM must not exceed 500 metres in
length.
On most units, the RS485 Comms connection block contains four terminals. The exception
is the MP module, which has three terminals and is explained in Paragraph 3-4.2.11. The
four terminals on the standard RS485 connection block are:
• S1 = Screen of Cable Number 1
• ++ = Positive Comms Line
• −− = Negative Comms Line
• S2 = Screen of Cable Number 2
The four-terminal arrangement accommodates the use of one or two RS485 Comms cables.
A single cable connection is used when the module is located at the end of the network and
two cable connections are used when the RMI is connected to a point in the cable network
other than the end.
An End of Cable Jumper plug near the RS485 connection block provides the proper
termination impedance for the Comms line. If only single RS485 Comms cable is
connected to the module, the End of Cable Jumper must be installed. If two cables are
fitted, the End of Cable Jumper must be removed.

Figure 3-10 shows how to connect a two-cable Comms network to a module. If the module
has only one RS485 Comms cable connected to it, the cable screen must be connected to
S1. If two Comms cables are fitted, the screen of the second cable must be connected to the
S2 terminal. Screens must not be connected to each other.

3-4.2.3. RMI Remote Module Interface. The RMI (Figure 3-11) provides an
interface between the controller and the other REMs. It is connected to the controller by
way of the LEM/REM Connector and uses an RS485 link to communicate with the REMs.
The RMI is designed to be located within 100mm of the controller. A controller can have
only one RMI connected to it.
The RMI does not have a power connection block because the module receives 5Vdc
operating power from the controller through the LEM Cable.
The 10-pin ribbon cable plug for connecting the RMI to the controller is at the upper left
side of the module.
The four-terminal connector block at the lower left corner of the module is the RS485
Comms cable connection block. The End of Cable Jumper is to the right of the RS485
connection block.
Terminal 3 in the lower right corner of the RMI is an earth connection point that provides
protection for the Comms cable and screens on the RMI. Connect the electrical earth cable
between Terminal 3 and a solid earth. This may be the earth bus bar of the switchboard
cabinet or the cable that earths the frame of the equipment the RMI is installed in. Only one
of the RMI’s two earth terminals need be used; the two terminals are connected to each
other.

The group of five terminals at the lower left of the module serves two separate functions.
The two terminals on the left of the group (P+ and P-) provide a 12Vdc source for digital
input signals (Figure 3-16). The three terminals on the right side of the group are the
COMMS cable connections:
• C+ = RS 485 (+) Signal
• C- = RS 485 (-) Signal
• SHLD = Comms cable shield
The MP REM accepts up to four isolated, switched-contact, digital inputs. Refer to Table
3-18 for DIGITAL INPUT signal terminal identification. The digital inputs can use the P+

to Terminal 2. For 24Vdc units, Terminal 1 must be positive and Terminal 2 negative.
Two units: the GENII RPTR Repeater Module and the GENII MP REM Multipoint Module
use 240Vac input power. Since these units are powered directly from standard power
points, it is not necessary to check their power inputs unless a fault in the power mains is
suspected. Suspected power mains problems should be referred to a qualified electrician.
Some Local Expansion Modules and Remote Expansion Modules receive their operating
power from the associated controller through the LEM/RMI ribbon cable (See Table 4-1).
It is not necessary to check voltage for these units. However, the LEM/RMI Cable should
be inspected to ensure it is undamaged and the connectors are firmly seated.

The Genesis II Digital Controllers and the Digital Output Module (DOM) LEMs are
provided with both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts in each
digital output channel. The following units contain only NO digital output contacts:
Relay contacts in all units with digital outputs are rated at 240Vac, 2A. For this reason, the
presence of lethal voltages at the relay contacts should be anticipated. Even though good
wiring practice is to use lower voltage pilot relays when controlling higher voltage
equipment, this practice can not be guaranteed and it is possible that the relay contacts will
carry dangerous voltages. For this reason, it is important that only a qualified electrician,
familiar with safety practices, check the digital output wiring.
Before checking the digital output circuits, it is important to ensure that there are no short
circuits in the external wiring which could cause the contact current to exceed 2A. Current
in excess of 2A through the relay contacts will result in permanent damage to the unit.

Following is a general description of the process for safely checking digital output circuits.
Specific procedures for checking the wiring are provided toward the end of this paragraph
(see Figure 4-4).
With power applied to the digital output circuits, but not to the Genesis unit, the output
circuits are checked for operation. Devices connected between the NC and C terminals
should be operating and devices connected to the NO and C terminals should be deenergised. If the operational status cannot be determined by observation (indicator lamp
on/off, fan running/not running, etc.) a voltmeter is placed across the device to determine
whether or not it is energised.

following Genesis units should be checked as part of the commissioning process:
Checking analogue input wiring requires special consideration due to the wide variety of
analogue input devices that may be used in the system. Some input devices function as
signal voltage sources; some devices function in the loop current mode and others provide
resistive inputs to the Genesis unit. For this reason there is no single procedure that can be
used on all analogue inputs.
Procedures presented in this manual are based on identifying the type of Analogue Input
Signal Conditioner (AISC) assigned to each analogue input channel. Since each analogue
input device requires a specific AISC type to match the signal to the Genesis unit, the type
of AISC assigned to an analogue input channel indicates the type of input signal and the
range. The various types of AISCs are listed in Table 4-3 along with the type of analogue
signal and the range. Reference to the paragraph containing the instructions for checking
the input wiring is also provided in Table 4-3. For example, an analogue input channel that
has Model TH2 AISC assigned receives its input from a thermistor device; the input circuit
is checked by measuring its resistance, which should be between 0 and 2k . Procedures
for checking the resistance are contained in Paragraph 4-1.2.4.3.

The type of AISC for each analogue input channel is determined when the system
configuration is established by the Genesis Configuration Software prior to delivery. The
configuration software automatically generates a Materials List and a Wiring Diagram,
which are delivered with the system. The Materials List shows the number of AISCs by
type but does not show which analogue input channels they are assigned to. The Wiring
Diagram (Figure 4-5) identifies the AISC type for each analogue input channel.

When an Analogue Input Module LEM is used, the output of the LEM is connected to one
of the controller’s analogue input channels. Because the cable between the LEM and the
controller is very short, this connection is checked by visual inspection. When checking
the analogue connection between the AIM LEM and a controller, ensure the cable is wired
in accordance with Section 3 and is free of potential physical damage. Ensure, also, that
the cable is routed outside of the cable ducts.

The wiring checks in the following paragraphs are performed with the
AISCs removed. The units are delivered with their AISCs removed.
Do not install the AISCs until all wiring checks are completed.

The Innotech configuration software program was prepared for your Genesis System at the
factory before delivery of the system. The software contains all the data for internally
configuring the controller(s) to perform the specific functions for which it was intended. Until
the controller is configured, it can not accept input signals or produce outputs.
To configure the controller(s), a Windows-based PC and the applicable version of the
Innotech Gen2Config program are required. A software disk is provided with the Genesis
hardware at delivery. The disk contains a program called Gen2Works, which is a collection of
several Innotech programs, including Gen2Config. The other software programs supplied in
Gen2Works are for the purpose of enhancing operation and de-bugging of the system. But it
is the Gen2Config software that is required for commissioning the system.
Paragraph 4-1.6.1 contains instructions for loading the Gen2Works software into your PC and
Paragraph 4-1.6.2 explains how to configure the controller using the Gen2Config program.

these tests is to use the software to apply simulated inputs to the controller and to check the
effect on the output circuits. The following paragraphs describe the Gen2Mon software and
the checks to be performed as part of initial tests.
INITIAL TESTS. Initial tests of the system involve the use of the Gen2Mon

Gen2Mon monitoring and debugging utility software. This software allows the operator to
trace the flow of control and to view the various values within a configuration residing in a
controller.
With Gen2Mon, each controller can be monitored one at a time in real time. Therefore,
what appears on the screen is what is actually happening inside the controller. Gen2Mon
must have a constant connection to the controller to be able to operate. This connection is
either through a controller network or through the RS232 serial port.
Gen2Mon Software. Initial tests of the system are simplified by use of the
program at this point.
The Gen2Mon allows the operator to monitor any output value from any block in the
configuration. Also, Gen2Mon has a Simulation Mode that allows the operator to control
the values of any, or all, of the controller’s input blocks. In this manner, the action of a

flexibility, the various configurations can be vastly different from each other. For this
reason, it is not practical to provide detailed procedural instructions for performing initial
tests that apply to all configurations. However, this paragraph describes the general
methodology for performing the initial tests.
Initial tests using the Gen2Mon Software are divided into three separate phases; these tests
should be performed on each controller in turn:
Performing Initial Tests. Because of the Genesis System’s designed-in
In the first phase of testing, power is removed from all output circuits and the Gen2Mon
software is used to monitor the states and input/output values of the various
configuration blocks using variable input stimuli. This phase serves two purposes: It
checks the configuration of the controller and it helps to familiarise the operator with the
operation of the system.
In the second phase of testing, the controller’s primary output circuits, such as motor
controllers and relay circuits are energised but the output machinery (fans, pumps,
compressors, etc.) are de-energised. In this phase, the controller inputs are stimulated
just enough to cause the output circuits to operate or change state. This phase checks the
operation of the output control circuits without operating the plant machinery
In the third phase, the primary output control circuits as well as the plant machinery are
energised. In this phase the controller inputs are carefully stimulated just enough to
briefly test the operation of the plant machinery. This phase should involve the
minimum of controller input stimulation required to operate the machinery.

APPENDIX A- NETWORK INSTALLATION
A-1. OVERVIEW.
The Innotech Genesis group of products uses serial communications (Comms) via standard
RS485 physical networks to communicate data between themselves and to PCs connected to the
network. The layout of the cables and the methods of connecting them are set out in this section.
A-2. GENESIS I AND GENESIS II PRODUCTS.
The Genesis I and Genesis II products that can be connected to the serial Comms are:
• Genesis I Digital Controller
• Genesis II Digital Controller
• GENII MPI Modem and Printer Interface
• GENII RPTR Repeater Module,
• GENII CONVERTER RS232 to RS485 Isolated Converter
• GENII 485I Isolated RS485 Comms
• GENII POLY SWITCH RS485 Protection Plug.
• GENII RMI Remote Module Interface
• Genesis II Mid Points Controller (MPC)
• All Genesis II Remote Expansion Modules (REMs)
The Genesis I Digital Controller, Genesis II Digital Controller, GENII MPI and GENII RPTR
have two serial networks: Net Comms and Global Points.
A-2.1. NET COMMS. Net Comms provides a means to configure or monitor Digital
Controllers from a PC at a speed of 9600 baud. A local PC can be connected to the Net
Comms via an MPI or via an RS232 to RS485 converter. A PC with a modem at a remote
location can access this network through the telephone system via a modem connected to an
MPI on the Net Comms.
Caution must be exercised if a PC and an MPI or more than one PC is directly connected to the
Net Comms. Only one of these can be active at a time or there will be a conflict between them
causing the data to be corrupted.
Local access to an individual Digital Controller can be made via its RS232 DB9 connector.
The Digital Controller is disconnected from the RS485 Net Comms when this connection is
activated. The PC cannot access the Net Comms via this RS232 connection.
A-2.2. GLOBAL POINTS. The Global Pointsnetwork provides a means for control
data to be shared among the Digital Controllers and a GENII MPI at a data speed of 4800
baud. There is no facility to connect a PC to the Global Points network through a Digital
Controller or GENII MPI. If it is necessary to monitor the Global Points traffic, a GENII
CONVERTER can be used to connect to the Global Points Comms cable and use the Genesis
Global Points Monitor software to view the data.
Edition 011100
A-1
Installation Instructions for Innotech Genesis Systems
A-2.3. GENII RS485I ISOLATED RS485 COMMS. The GENII RS485I Isolated
RS485 Comms Card is an optional daughter board that can be plugged onto the bottom board
of a Genesis II Digital Controller to isolate the Digital Controller from the RS485
communications cable.
A-3. GENESIS I AND GENESIS II CABLE SPECIFICATIONS.
The cable should be designated as suitable for use in RS485 serial communications. It is
recommended that the cable to be used for Net Comms and Global Points with the Genesis I and
Genesis II controllers be a dual twisted pair cable with each pair preferably having their own
shielding. A single shielded twisted pair cable can be used if only the Net Comms or the Global
Points are connected. If the Comms cable is to be run in contact with power cabling, the voltage
rating of the sheathing must comply with the ratings for a power cable. The cable characteristics
as specified by the manufacturer should be as follows:
• Shielded, dual-twisted-pair (Two shielded, single-twisted-pair cables can be used if
necessary)
• 7 x 0.2mm

conductors
• 120 Ohms characteristic impedance
• Sheath thickness 0 to 3mm.
• 36 to 42 picoFarads per metre capacitance between conductors
• 65 to 76 picoFarads per metre capacitance between one conductor and all other conductors
and shield
• Sheathing to meet the necessary voltage rating, if required.
A-4. INSTALLATIONS.
It is not possible to cover all the situations that may be encountered in the wide range of
installations found in the field. The following examples are provided as a guide to assist in
deciding the best method of connection and layout and to illustrate the differences between the
Genesis I and Genesis II products.
Some situations require additional care to avoid hazardous situations. These may be covered by
legislation or regulations such as those set by Telecommunications Authorities, Electrical Wiring
Rules and Local Authorities. Much of the Genesis product line is designed to comply with the
extra low voltage standards and, therefore, any wiring connected to these products should also
comply with these standards if the product compliance is to be maintained.
Communication links between equipment supplied from different electrical switchboards should
be electrically isolated from one another. The voltages at the earth connections at the
switchboards will usually have a small difference under normal conditions but, if a fault occurs
on equipment connected to one switchboard, the voltage difference can increase dangerously. If a
non-isolated communications link is used, this voltage difference can cause a large current to flow
through the communications cable and the integrated circuits (ICs) connected to it. An isolated
connection will block the current, but it would have to withstand the full supply voltage for up to
several seconds.
The Genesis I Digital Controller cannot be isolated from the RS485 communications cable. This
places some restrictions on its application. If isolation is required, it must be provided by a
GENII RPTR Repeater Module.

A-4.1. GENESIS II COMMS WIRING TOPOLOGY. Bus topology is produced
by connecting from one device to the next and then on to the next (Figure A-1). A simple
means to identify if bus topology is used is to check that:
• There are TWO end connections, and
• Any joining is made between TWO cable ends only.
Three or more cable ends at a joint indicates it is Star topology. The total continuous length of
cable in one section is 1000 metres maximum. In the Star Topology, note that a joint in each
of the diagrams has three or more cable ends joined together. In the ring topology, note that
there are no end connections.

A-4.2. GENESIS COMMS WIRING CONSIDERATIONS. The maximum
number of nodes or devices that can be connected on one section of Comms cable is 32. This
limit is set by the characteristics of the RS485 ICs.
The maximum length of Comms cable is 1000 metres. This is determined by the
characteristics of the RS485 ICs and by the characteristics of the cable. In practice, the
maximum length of cable is determined by the quality of the signals. The signal will be
degraded by using cable which does not meet the RS485 cable specification and by installing
the cable in locations where it is subject to interference from other cables and equipment. In
severe cases, it may not be possible to have 32 nodes on one section of cable.
A node is any Genesis product with an RS485 connection. These devices are listed in
Paragraph A-2.
To increase the total number of nodes on a system, a GENII RPTR Repeater Module must be
used (Figure A-5). The two ports on a Repeater Module reside on different sections of the
system and each section can have up to the maximum of 32 nodes. With one repeater, a total
of 62 nodes can be connected on the system. A repeater can be connected at any point on the
network providing bus topology is maintained.

A-4.2.1. Genesis Comms Wiring Connections. Figure A-6 illustrates the
arrangements for connecting the data conductors and screen for the Comms cable to
Genesis products.
It is most important that the two conductors of a twisted pair be correctly identified. Take
extra care with cable that has two twisted pairs with only an overall screen. If a conductor
from one twisted pair is “paired” with a conductor from the other twisted pair, the two data
streams will interfere with each other. This may cause complete failure of the RS485
communications.

cable(s) can always be connected or joined in Terminal 91 because it can be isolated from
the Common of the Digital Controller by removing the two shunts. To check that the
screens are isolated, only the two outer shunts on each side should be fitted. The alternative

A-4.2.4. GENII POLY SWITCH Board. The GENII POLY SWITCH RS485
Protection Plug board can only be used on Genesis II Digital Controllers. The POLY
SWITCH board does not provide fully isolated data lines. It isolates the screen of the
Comms cables from the Common on the Digital Controller.
The POLY SWITCH board provides a level of protection against some types of overvoltage. It protects the RS485 ICs if 24Vac is applied to the Comms Terminals 89 to 93.
To fit a POLY SWITCH board (See Figure A-9):
a. Ensure that the power to all the connections to the Digital Controller is turned off.
b. Remove all shunts from the dual 14-way pin strip on the bottom printed circuit board.
c. Turn the POLY SWITCH Board so that all the components and the socket are facing
to the bottom printed circuit board.
d. Fit the POLY SWITCH Board onto the 14-way pin strip, making sure that the pin
strip and the socket are properly aligned.
e. Do not remove the two shunt links from the other pin strips on the bottom printed
circuit board.
NOTE
The screen links are open on a POLY SWITCH board.

A-4.2.6. GENII RPTR Repeater Module. The Repeater Module (Figure A-11)
can be used with both the Genesis I and Genesis II Digital Controllers. The repeater’s
function is to rebuild each data byte before re-transmitting it.
There are two earth connections on the Repeater Module. The e lectrical earth must be
connected at the E Terminal as it provides a creepage barrier for the mains voltage
connection at the L and N Terminals. The earth (E) associated with the 240Vac supply also
earths the data rebuilding circuitry, which is connected with Port 1. Port 1 should always be
connected to the local devices (the devices that share the same supply and electrical earth).
The other EARTH is for the over-voltage-limiting device connected to Port 2. This device
limits the Port 1 screen voltage above earth to 36 Volts.
Installation Instructions for Innotech Genesis Systems
WARNING
IF THE EARTH TERMINAL IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE
ELECTRICAL EARTH, THE CABLE CONNECTED T O PORT 2
CAN REACH DANGEROUSLY HIGH VOLTAGES.
Port 2 should be connected to the remote devices - the devices supplied from a different
switchboard.
If the Comms cable connection to Port 1 is an end connection and the Repeater Module is
not the earth point for the screen, the screen of the Comms cable must not be connected to
the terminal. If the Comms cable is looped through Port 1 and the repeater is not the earth
point for the screen, the screens of the two Comms cables will have to be joined but not
connected into the terminal.
Because Port 2 is isolated, the screen(s) of the Comms cable(s) can always be joined in the
terminal.
A-4.2.7. GENII MPI Modem and Printer Interface. The GENII MPI Modem
and Printer Interface can be used with both the Genesis I and Genesis II Digital Controllers.
The MPI is supplied with a double insulated plug pack, which isolates the MPI power
supply from the electrical earth. But, when a printer or PC is connected to the MPI, it will
be connected to the electrical earth via the printer and/or PC cables. See Figure A-12
The Comms is connected to the MPI via the RJ11 socket on the rear of the MPI. The top
portion of Figure A-12 shows the socket connections and the cable as supplied. The
standard order for conductor colours is shown, but they may change and, therefore, should
always be checked before connecting.
To isolate the screen of the Comms cabling from electrical earth at a non-isolated MPI, do
not connect the two GND conductors of the flat MPI cable to the screen(s) of the Comms
cables at the wall connection. This is not an isolated connection for the data conductors.
To provide isolation for the data conductors, an MPI fitted with RS485 isolation ICs must
be used. The two GND conductors should be connected to the screen(s) of the Comms
cable when an isolated MPI is used. Connecting the screen(s) of the Comms cable(s)
completes the internal over-voltage protection on the MPI data connections.

A-4.2.9.2. Use of GENII POLY SWITCH Boards. The GENIIPoly Switch
Boards provide some protection from over-voltage and voltage spikes. To achieve the
maximum benefit, Poly Switches should be fitted to all Digital Controllers in a network.
Fitting Poly Switches to all Digital Controllers results in the screen(s) being unearthed
because the Poly Switches do not link the screen Terminal 91 to the Common and
Terminal 2. An external earth must be fitted to Terminal 91 of the Digital Controller
where the screens are to be earthed.
When the Digital Controllers are supplied from two different switchboards (Figure A-

Switches may protect the RS485 ICs providing that the voltage differences are not
excessive. Fitting the screen earth at the single Digital Controller is not the preferred
