The Genesis II Controller is designed for mounting inside a control panel and offers a large array of inputs and outputs enabling it to monitor and control all types of external plant and equipment.

The creation of control strategies is made simple by the use of the GEN2Config configuration utility, a Personal Computer (PC) resident, Windows-based software package. This utility with its powerful Graphical User Interface allows the user to create an entire strategy in block-diagram form before downloading it to the Genesis II Controller where it is permanently stored in non-volatile FlashRam.

Access to the Genesis II Controller is via the Human Machine Interface (HMI), or by a PC, either local or remotely via a modem. Up to 256 process constants or variables can be accessed through the HMI. Information can be grouped in any combination on the 8 display pages. Access to the display pages is controlled by a multi-level password system.

The HMI can display a further 32 points or up to 128 Alarms via a flash page.

From a PC, the user can gain access to manipulate and interrogate the controller using tools from the GEN2 family of software products.

• Alert - A utility that reports on alarms generated by Innotech Digital Controllers. A Genesis II MPI (Modem/Printer Interface) is required to capture the alarms and forward the details via modem to a computer running this utility.
  
  
• AutoStart - An automatic program launching utility specifically designed for use with GenIIXtract and MAXTract software. It allows any number of Windows batch programs to be automatically started at regular time intervals.
  
  
• EasyBill - An automatic charging utility program for use with Innotechs Direct Digital Controller. Using EasyBill in conjunction with Genesis II Controllers, a plant administrator is able to analyse plant usage and automatically calculate charges for that usage.
  
  
• EtherMate - Specialised configuration tool for Ethernet enabled Innotech devices. It provides the functionality to set the RS485 baud rate, serial format and TCP/IP settings.
  
  
• Gen2Config - Configuration tool for Innotechs Direct Digital Controller, the Genesis II. It allows you to internally configure a Genesis II Digital Controller by using a simple point-and-click approach on a PC running Windows.
  
  
• Gen2Mon - A monitoring and debugging utility designed to help with commissioning and trouble-shooting a Genesis II Digital Controller.
  
  
• Gen2Sim - A Windows-based software program that simulates an Innotech Direct Digital Controller. The Virtual Genesis II Controller can be powered on, configured and interrogated in the same way as a physical DDC.
  
  
• Gen2XTract - Gen2Xtract is the data log extraction utility for Innotech’s Direct Digital Controller, the Genesis II. It allows extraction of all or part of the history log data residing on a Genesis controller into a specified data format.
  
  
• iComm- Communications server used by Innotech software to communicate with Innotech digital controllers.
  
  
• Innograph - Designed to specifically cater for the data log graphing capabilities of Innotech controllers, and it has the flexibility to display data log graphing information from other sources.
  
  
• Magellan - Event-driven, object oriented real-time Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition package. It provides a simple, mechanism to design trivial or sophisticated supervisory or control programs.
  
  
• NetScan - A network scanning utility designed to help with commissioning & trouble-shooting of a Genesis or Maxim network. It displays real-time information about data on the Global Points network.
  
  
• Softport - Allows a user to access the Human Machine Interface (HMI) of a Genesis or Maxim device from a PC connected to the controller network. It can be used to search for controllers present on the network, then log onto any one of the available devices.
  
  
• Supervisor - A dynamic monitoring utility for Innotech controllers. It provides all the functionality that is available from an Innotech controller display panel with greater ease-of-use and flexibility.
  
  

Power Supply

• 24VAC ± 10% @ 50/60 Hz
  Power consumption: 15VA
• 24VDC ± 10%
  Power consumption: 8 Watts

The operating voltage must meet the requirements of Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) to EN60730. The transformer used must be a safety transformer in compliance with EN60742 and be designed for 100% duty. It must also be sized and fused in compliance with local safety regulations.

Battery

• Contains a Lithium Battery, dispose of properly.
• Type CR-2032 Lithium Battery
• Nominal voltage 3 Volts
• Shelf life - 5 Years dependant on ambient temperature

Inputs

• Digital Inputs
  • 8 x Opto Isolated Inputs.
  • 24VAC/DC ± 15% Trigger signal.
• Analogue Inputs
  • 8 x Definable Inputs
    The Analogue Inputs require an Analogue Input Signal Conditioner (AISC) to determine the Input type. The AISC’s must be ordered seperately.

Installation and Wiring
Refer to Installation Guide and the Innotech Network Cabling Guide DS 99.04.

• RS485 Global Comms and Net Comms
  5 way plug in connector for global data transfer between devices on the network and for network interrogation from a central PC.

Communications

• RS232
  RJ45 connection for modem and local PC access.

Data Logging
The Genesis II Controller is equipped with a powerful Data Logging ability. Data Logging can be assigned to hardware and software points and up to 1.2 million time stamped readings are stored on the Genesis II Controller. All data is stored in non volatile Flash RAM. When the memory is full, new readings replace oldest readings.
The Genesis II Controller automatically logs User Access via the HMI, Genesis II Viewport, Softport or Supervisor, and Loss and Resumption of its power supply.

Human Machine Interface
For ease of use the Genesis II Controller is provided with a 4 Line, 20 Character, Backlit LCD Display and Keypad.

The HMI allow access to system variables such as Weekly and Annual Time Schedule/Daylight Savings parameters.

The HMI also supports eight function pages, each with 32 points of data e.g. status, setpoints etc. Each function page can be designed with information to suit the application. All information displayed on the HMI is in English language and standard engineering units. Access to display pages is controlled by a programmable multilevel password system. The cover of the Genesis II Controller has an insert which allows the identification of each function page.

Enclosure & Mounting:
The Innotech MAXTime is housed in rectangular cases suitable for DIN Rail mounting. Their housing is moulded from flame retardant plastics recognised by UL as UL 94-V0.
