AN-X2-GENI EtherNet/IP to GE Genius I/O Gateway | ProSoft Technology
The ProSoft Technology AN-X2-GENI (also marked AN-X-GENI/B) is an industrial protocol gateway bridging EtherNet/IP and GE Genius I/O network. It acts as a Genius bus scanner for Rockwell ControlLogix / CompactLogix PAC, enabling legacy GE Genius I/O control and phased system migration from GE 90-30 / 90-70 PLC. It features web-based configuration, automatic RSLogix5000 tag generation, ghost monitor mode and microSD card slot for firmware storage. Technical data sourced from ProSoft AN-X2-GENI user manual & datasheet. Supplied by SHLY-PLC, an independent industrial automation distributor; each unit undergoes visual inspection and functional testing before shipment for legacy GE Genius system retrofit and spare replacement projects. Contact our team for compatibility verification.
