Installing SFP Devices

SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) devices can be installed in Port 3 and Port 4 of the
PROFINET Controller. See SFP Modules for Ethernet Ports, for a list of supported SFP devices,
media types and distances. The specific SFP module installed in each cage must be defined
in the PAC Machine Edition configuration of the PNC001.
Keep the protective plug installed in the SFP device. Following the manufacturer's
installation instructions, insert the device with its electrical contacts oriented toward the
inside of the PNC001 until it clicks into place.

WARNING
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 peer into the open port if a cable is not installed
Remove the protective plug to install the cable.
When the PNC001 powers up, it automatically detects devices plugged into the SFP cages,
their type (fiber, copper, etc.) and their link speed. If an SFP device has been included in the
configuration but is not present in the specified cage, the PNC001 logs a Loss of Network
Port entry to its Local Log Table. If possible, the PROFINET Controller also logs a fault to the
associated RX3i I/O Fault Table. The module continues to operate with a Loss of Network
Port fault.
