RX3i PROFINET Controller module, IC695PNC001 or PNC001, connects
a PACSystems RX3i controller to a high-speed PROFINET local area network. It enables
the RX3i controller to communicate with I/O devices on the LAN. The PNC001 provides all
the functions, services, and protocols required for certification as a PROFINET I/O Version
2.2 I/O Controller, running at both 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps.
The PNC001 supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Copper, 100/1000 Mbps Multi-mode Fiber, and
100/1000 Mbps Single-mode Fiber. The LAN can include media interfaces of more than one
type. PROFINET communications on the LAN require 100 and 1000 Mbps link speed.
10 Mbps cannot be used for PROFINET communications. However, 10 Mbps can be used for
other types of Ethernet traffic such as ping and telnet.
Features of the RX3i PNC001 include:
▪ Full configuration services for the RX3i PROFINET Controller, plus all connected GE
Intelligent Platforms and third-party I/O-Devices using Proficy* Machine Edition
(PME).
▪ Firmware upgrades using the WinLoader software utility (if the host CPU has a serial
port) or using a Web-based tool (if the host CPU has no serial port). Instructions are
included with the firmware upgrade kit.
▪ Support for star, ring, and daisy-chain/line network topologies.
▪ Four switched Ethernet ports - two 8-conductor RJ-45 shielded twisted pair
10/100/1000 Mbps copper interfaces and two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
cages for user-supplied SFP devices.
▪ Internal clock synchronized with the RX3i CPU for time-stamped diagnostics entries.
▪ Restart pushbutton to manually restart the PNC001 without power cycling the system.
▪ LEDs: OK, LAN, STATUS, CONFIG, ACTIVE, and Port LEDs.
▪ Compliant with EU RoHS Directive using the following exemptions identified in the
Annex: 7c-I and 7c-III.
