3.3 Configuring an RX3i PROFINET Controller
3.3.1 Configuring a Rack-Mounted RX3i PROFINET Controller (PNC001)
This section describes one technique to configure the parameters of an RX3i IC695PNC001. The PROFICY
Machine Edition InfoViewer describes alternative menus and keyboard operations that can be used to perform
the same functions.
1. In the Project tab of the Navigator, expand the
PACSystems Target, the hardware configuration, and the
main rack (Rack 0).

PNC001 slot location
2. Right-click an empty slot and choose Add Module. The
Module Catalog opens.
3. Open the Bus Controller tab, select the IC695PNC001
module and click OK.
4. The PNC001 is displayed as having been placed in the
selected rack/slot location.
- Its parameters appear in the Parameter Editor
window.
- Its communications properties appear in the
Inspector pane.
- Edit the PNC001’s parameters and its
communications properties as described in this
chapter.
3.3.2 Configuring an Embedded RX3i PROFINET Controller
CP400 and CPE330 both support configuring LAN2 as an embedded PROFINET Controller. Instead of
Configuring a PNC001 into a rack/slot location (Figure 32), LAN2 in the target is configured as a PROFINET
Controller (Figure 33).
