• Configurable for interrupts 5, 7, 11 and 12
• Supports baud rates of 153.6 Standard, 153.6 Enhanced, 76.8K and
38.4K
• Operating temperature
• Storage temperature
• Humidity 5% to 95% non-condensing
• Status LEDs indicate card health and network activity
Quick Start
1. Check DIP switch settings on the card against the default settings (see
"Default Settings"). You should accept the default settings in all but
unusual situations. Your Smart Trac Field Service Engineer can help
you if you need assistance.
2. Power OFF your Smart Trac AC1 and tag "Out of Service."
3. Install the card in your Smart Trac AC1 in a PC/104 Option card
position (above the Ethernet Card or another PC/104 Option card).

Genius Basics
Introduction
Developed by General Electric, the Genius network provides an industrial
networking scheme with software-configurable fault reporting, input filter time,
overload detection, and I/O mix. Programmable inputs and outputs, part of
Genius I/O Blocks, allow any circuit to be set up for either input or output. This
means that one 8-circuit block is field-configurable to any of 256 distinct
combinations of inputs and outputs.
SMART TRAC Genius PCIM Card
A Genius network passes a token in what are called bus scans. The pass starts at
the controller, which passes the token to the first node. It is next passed on
through consecutively numbered nodes. When it gets the token, a node can send
messages. When done sending, it notifies the network that it is done and passes
the token to the node with the next highest address. Finally, the token is passed
to either node 15 or 31 (the baud rate and cable type determine the maximum
number of nodes). The process repeats.
NOTE: Node 31 is generally reserved for a CPU. Nodes 29 and 30 are generally
reserved for fault tolerant devices.
In each bus scan, inputs are broadcast to all CPUs on the bus. The CPUs send
outputs to specific nodes, as required. Typically, node 31 is the CPU
Information may also be sent using Datagrams. Each datagram includes sourceto-destination routing information. During each bus scan, one datagram may be
automatically sent from one node to another, specific node. It may also be sent
from the PLC or computer to I/O blocks. Each datagram may contain up to 128
bytes of data.
Nodes in a Genius network may automatically broadcast up to 128 bytes of
global data with each bus scan. All CPUs on the bus receive all broadcasts of
global data. The receiving nodes do not acknowledge receipt of global data.
Upon receipt of data, the receiving node performs a cyclic redundancy check
(CRC) to ensure data integrity.
Two or more buses may be used, for example, to split activity to I/O information
on one bus and communications information on another.

Genius Network Topology
Configured in a bus topology, Genius networks require no special equipment to
amplify or regenerate the signal. Transfer of information occurs across cables
via RS-485 serial modems. You must terminate each end of the bus. A Genius
network will support up to 32 devices at 153.6 Kbaud standard, 153.6 Kbaud
extended, or 76.8 Kbaud and up to 16 devices at 38.4 Kbaud.
You may arrange devices on a Genius network in any physical sequence on the
bus. For efficient communications, however, arrange devices in the same
sequence as their Node (Block) Numbers.
Cabling
Cabling a Genius network consists of single twisted pair shielded cable, daisychained bus cable or fiber optic cable. RS-485 serial modems transmit and
receive data node to node. With simple field wiring to and from a Terminal
Assembly, the cost of wiring and cabling a Genius network is relatively low.
Network Length and Cabling
The maximum bus length depends, in part, on baud rate. The maximums are:
• 7500 feet at 38.4 Kbaud.
• 4500 feet at 76.8 Kbaud.
• 3500 feet at 153.6 Kbaud extended.
• 2000 feet at 153.6 Kbaud, standard.
The maximum length at each baud rate also depends on cable type. See
references in the Appendices for a complete list of cable types, showing
corresponding bus lengths and baud rates.
Greater bus lengths are possible using sections of fiber optics cable with modems.
Terminating Resistor Specifications
You must install 75, 100, 120, or 150 ohm, 1/4 watt resistors at both ends of the
electrical bus cable. Resistors must have a tolerance of -10% to +20%

Unpacking

Discharge (ESD)
Procedures
Unpacking Procedure
WARNING WARNING -- ESD ESD
Keep electronic circuit boards in Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protective
bags when not being handled. Use proper ESD procedures (including an
ESD wrist strap) when handling circuit boards. Failure to comply may
result in damage to equipment
When working with an electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive device, you
should be grounded at all times. The easiest and most common way to provide
this ground is to use an approved ESD wrist strap. The strap is secured to your
wrist with a wire attached to the strap and clipped or taped to the chassis of the
unit being worked on. Any static is dissipated through the wire to ground,
greatly reducing the possibility of damage to the device.
It is a good idea to touch the chassis with your finger before handling any
electrostatic sensitive device. Any static electricity will be discharged to chassis
ground and will not be transferred to the device.
Always store devices (cards, other electronic components) in ESD protective
bags when not being handled.
Remove the protective shipping and packing material from the card. Ensure
contact wedges and other shipping devices have been removed.
Installing the Smart Trac Genius Card
The Smart Trac Genius Card is PC/104 compatible, so it may be positioned in
one of the PC/104 Option Card positions at the top of the Smart Trac card stack.
NOTE: If replacing or adding a Smart Trac Genius PCIM card to an existing
Smart Trac card stack, see "Appendix C – Removing the Smart Trac Card
Stack" before continuing.
