6 PACSystems* RX3i PROFINET IO-Scanner User Manual GFK-2737F
1.3.1 LEDs on the PROFINET Scanner Module
LEDs provide an immediate visual indication of the operational state of the PNS and port link status. The
LEDs and their operation are described in Chapter 2 LED Operation and Connector Details.
1.3.2 SD Card Slot
The SD Card Slot supports an SD or SDHC card. It can be used to transfer the IO-Device Name to another
PROFINET Scanner Module unit without a configuration tool such as Proficy Machine Edition.
1.3.3 Pushbutton
The pushbutton adjacent to the USB port is reserved for future use.
1.3.4 USB Port
The USB Port is used for installing new firmware using the WinLoader tool.
1.3.5 Ethernet Port Connections
Each port on an RX3i PNS operates independently, so devices that operate at different speeds and/or
duplex modes may be attached to the ports. By default, all ports, including empty, unconfigured SFP
cages, are set for Automatic, which enables auto negotiation for the widest range of options supported by
the port.

Connections to the PROFINET Scanner can be made using standard Cat 5e/6 Ethernet cables. Different
devices on the same network can be connected using the multiple ports on the RX3i PNS (Figure 2).
For other options, refer to Chapter 4, the section Adding and Configuring an Ethernet Port.
