Drag Chain
Some feeders are equipped with a Drag Chain conveyor (also called “Cleanout
Conveyor”) which sweeps the bottom of the interior of the feeder, removing any
material that has fallen off the belt. There are several settings available that control
when the Drag Chain runs, how long it runs, etc.
To take advantage of this functionality, this feature must be enabled.
Belt Index
Some feeders are equipped with a Belt Index which is a switch of some type that
provides an input once per belt revolution. This can be used to detect slippage, or
for the Zero Memory feature.
To take advantage of this functionality, this feature must be enabled.
DNA Key
Some Genetix controllers are provided with a DNA Key interface that allows
certain data to be transferred to a removable memory device (called a “DNA Key”).
For example, you may save all the parameters from a particular controller. These
then might be later transferred back to the controller, in case of inadvertent re-
programming, or to another controller. The “DNA Key” becomes visible in the Main
Menu when this feature is enabled.
To take advantage of DNA Key functionality, this feature must be enabled.
Expansion IO Bd 1
Expansion IO boards provide the Genetix controller with additional digital inputs
and outputs. To inform the Genetix that these additional IO points exist, and are
therefore accessible to the controller, this feature must be enabled.

Network IO
Network I/O are “virtual” physical inputs and outputs that are accessible from an
outside source (i.e. Network) connected to a serial port on the GCM. Network
inputs are settable from the Network, and network outputs are readable from the
Network.
A Network input may have multiple Logical inputs mapped to it and takes on all
other aspects of Genetix Physical inputs. For example they may be forced and/or
inverted (see Main Menu > Advanced Setup > Digital I/O > Forces, Inverted I/O).
Multiple Network outputs may be mapped to a Genetix Logical output, and likewise
take on all other aspects of Genetix Physical outputs. For example they may be
