2 General device description
e:cue Nodes are a system of interfaces and provide various connection types like DMX/RDM, DALI, digital
inputs and outputs etc.
The Genius is a relay controller and energy meter that combines measuring and switching load in a single
device. Communication with any third party system is made via the Modbus RTU / ASCII protocol at an RS-
485 interface. The Genius provides bistable relay interfaces in single-pole, single-throw conguration,
accompanied by manual switches for service overrides. It is a modular basic solution for controlling lighting
installations. The Genius is easily mounted on standard 35 mm DIN rails, or with a key hole in the housing base
on walls or on any stable vertical surface. The Node is AC line powered.
Measured data: Voltage
Current
Power (active, apparent, reactive)
Power factor
Energy (active)
Phase
Line frequency
Status.
For the detailed list see “13 Modbus register list” (page 23).

4 Installation
The installation of the Genius consists of mounting the device, connections to the Modbus device, to the
loads, and to input power. For conguration a Mini-USB connection is required additionally.
The sequence of cabling is not dened. Supply the device with power after all cabling is completed; it starts
booting.

Danger of death
Electrical shocks or re
Connect cables and data only when the device is
powered down.
Caution
Risk of burns
Device components can reach high temperatures.
Let unit cool down after operation before mounting
or removing unit.

!
Attention: Failure
— Overheating will damage the unit. To prevent the
device from overheating, only operate it in well-
ventilated environment. The ventilation slots must
not be obstructed.
— Data trac or functions can be disturbed. Do not
route Modbus lines together with power lines.
— Short circuit caused by foreign conductive
material inside the unit. No conductive parts to
enter the ventilation openings.
— Electronic overload: When the ambient
temperature exceeds 40 °C, run 20 A on max half
of the relays. Do not run 20 A loads on relays that
are directly adjacent to each other. Distribute 20
A loads across the interfaces.
— Using an adapter or extension cord could
interrupt the grounding circuit. Take appropriate
measures.
!
Notice: Bus communication failure
Master cannot communicate with all existing slaves
on the bus.
Take care when addressing the devices that there
are not two devices with the same address. For
addressing see “6. AT%ADDRESS” (page 18).
!
Only work on the product when it is de-energized to
prevent electrical shocks. Connect cables and data
only when the device is powered down. Exception:
USB connection.
i
— It is recommended to use a surge protector on
the AC line.
— It is recommended to check the Modbus line
termination at the far end of the data cable for
120 Ω.

4.2 Mounting process
1
2
The Genius is designed to mount onto a 35mm DIN rail (EN 60715) in a vertical position.
1. Clip the device to the rail from top.
2. Apply gentle pressure to the top front to snap it in place. The
device has been mounted successfully.
You can also mount the device on any at surface. Use a 3 to
3.5mm screw for the hanger hole.
i
For mechanical stability, mounting on a rail is
recommended.
4.3 Modbus connection
To connect the device to a Modbus device, attach the wires as stated on the front label.
Required circuits: D+, D-, and Common / GND from left to right.
i
It is recommended to use twisted and shielded pair
cabling. Use a third wire for the Common.
4.4 Relay connection
The Genius 4CH can be connected to 4 loads, the Genius 8CH to 8 loads. At the relay interface of the Node,
connect each relay device to IN, OUT, and N. For details see “4.5 Relay connection diagram” (page 13).

i
— It is recommended to mount a circuit breaker in
front of each electrical circuit. No internal fuse
present.
— It is recommended to use an RCD.
— It is recommended to use a surge protector on
the AC line.
— It is recommended to use ICLs when connecting
capacitive loads such as multiple electronic
ballasts.
— If a channel is not used and therefore not wired,
invalid data can be read out on this channel. If this
is to be avoided, it is recommended to place the
IN connection on L or N.

4.7.2 e:cue system diagram
Connection to e:cue SYMPHOLIGHT and e:net:
To connect the SYMPL serial Node to the Genius, wire as follows:
SYMPL serial Node:
RS-485 port
Genius:
Modbus port
GND (left pin) GND (right pin)
– (center pin) – (center pin)
+ (right pin) + (left pin)
The generic Modbus system characteristics apply.
i
When using the SYMPL serial Node and multiple
Genius devices, it is recommended to terminate the
line at the Genius end. The SYMPL serial Node has an
integrated termination.
5 Modbus Settings
The Modbus interface default settings are:
Baud rate: 19200
Data Bits: 8
Parity: even
Stop Bits: 1
Address: 1
Protocol: RTU.
The system default setting is:
Frequenzy: 50 Hz.
A conguration of the Modbus settings is required when the Genius has diering Modbus settings from the
higher-level control. Congure either the higher-level control using its software or congure the Genius so
that the settings are matching.
5.1 CongurationoftheGeniusModbussettings
The conguration of the Genius Modbus settings is performed via Mini-USB port (serial conguration
interface).
!
The Mini-USB port is for conguration and service
only. Apply appropriate protective measures
(grounding, discharge of static electricity if
necessary). Cable length is max 2 m.

port when not in use.
— In case of need, install the USB driver for the
Mini-USB port: Silicon Labs CP2102N VCP driver.
A connection of the Genius via Mini-USB port to a computer with a terminal emulator program (a.k.a. terminal;
e.g. Tera Term) is required.

6 Integration in SYMPHOLIGHT
To use the Genius in e:cue SYMPHOLIGHT, you need a SYMPL serial Node. For a system overview see “4.7.2
e:cue system diagram” (page 16).
On how to bring the Genius device into a SYMPHOLIGHT project and on details about the Workow options
for Automation, see the SYMPHOLIGHT User Manual (v5.3 and higher). Note that in SYMPHOLIGHT the
Genius is referred to as a “(Serial) Modbus Device”.

Note that the Genius only measures values when
voltage is applied.
When hexadecimal values are entered, hexadecimal values will be answered.
When decimal values are entered, decimal values will be answered.
Registers are combined as follows: 0xTPAA
where T = register type:
1: Single holding register
2: Single coil Register
P = port (Genius 4CH: 1 … 4;
Genius 8CH: 1 ... 8;
0 = cumulated)
AA = register address.

Writing 0x00 to the register will close the corresponding relay, writing 0x0000 will open it.
i
Note that the energy counter will count downwards if
IN and OUT connections are mixed up in the
installation.
8 Port Status
Possible port status values are:
0x00: O
0x01: On
0x02: Undened
0x03: Error
The measured line voltage is regarded “present” if it is greater than the default threshold voltage of 150 V.
i
The default voltage threshold is 150 V. In case that
the default value has to be modied, please contact
your local e:cue distributor for assistance
“Output voltage detected” signals the voltage at the switching contact.
If a voltage is detected, this means either that the switch is open or that some voltage is injected from load
side.
If voltage is not detected, this means either that the voltage is shortened by the contact or that there is no
line voltage present.
The port status is created from the input parameters “line voltage present” and “output voltage detected” as
follows:
Line voltage Output voltage detected State
Present True O
Present False On
Missing True Error
Missing False Undened
9 Firmware Update
