RX3i PROFINET Controller 7
IC695PNC001-BBBB GFK-2573U
3. Connecting the PNC001 to the PROFINET network and to a 10BaseT, 100BaseTX or 1000BaseT IEEE 802.3 network
for general Ethernet communications
Do not connect two or more ports on the PNC001 to the same device, either directly or indirectly,
unless Media Redundancy is enabled in the PNC001’s configuration.
If Media Redundancy will be used, do not close the network ring until after the Media Redundancy
configuration which contains one node as a Media Redundancy Manager (MRM) has been
downloaded to the PNC001. If a Media Redundancy Manager is not present, packets can
continuously cycle on the network, using up significant network bandwidth.
Note: Shielded cable is required for 1 Gbps operation.
4. Installing SFP devices
Optical SFPs use an invisible laser to generate a fiber-optic signal. Always keep the port covered if
a cable is not installed. Do not look into the open port if a cable is not installed.
If the surrounding air operating temperature of the PNC001 is greater than 40C,SFP devices could
have operating temperatures over 70 °C (158 °F). Under these conditions, for your safety, do
not
use bare hands to remove an SFP device from the SFP cage. Use protective gloves or a tool
(needle-nose pliers) to avoid handling the hot SFP device directly when removing the SFP device.
5. Configuring the PNC001 and its I/O Devices on a PROFINET network
Proficy Machine Edition is the primary tool used to configure an RX3i PROFINET network. In addition, certain
parameters can be set from a computer through the PNC001’s Command Line Interface. For details on system planning
and configuration, refer to
PACSystems RX3i PROFINET I/O Controller Manual,
GFK-2571, Chapter 3
.
Whenever an RX3i PNC001 is extracted from a powered RX3i backplane, it loses power
immediately which may result in data loss. Do not remove or insert the device while downloading
hardware configuration to the system.
When the PNC001 is plugged back into a powered backplane, the PNC001 restores data from the
internal non-volatile memory. If, however, the RX3i CPU has configuration data for the PROFINET
Controller, it re-delivers the data to the PNC001, superseding parameters previously stored in
non-volatile memory.
