Quick Start - Emerson PACSystems RX3i PROFINET Important Product Information

GFK-2573Z

Quick Start

Before installing and operating the PNC001, refer to PACSystems RX3i PROFINET I/O Controller Manual, GFK-2571 for
detailed information. Installation and initial startup procedures for the PNC001 include the following steps:
1. Pre-Installation check
2. Installing the PNC001 in an RX3i backplane
The PNC001 must be installed in the main (CPU) rack of the RX3i system, using a Universal Backplane such as
IC695CHS007, CHS012 or CHS016. The PNC001 supports insertion/removal while power is applied to the system (hot
swap). This includes backplane power and field power supplied to the PNC001.
The rear of the PNC001 (-Ax version only) has an exposed heat sink which must be engaged into the backplane. Before
inserting the module into the backplane, remove the plastic knockout from the slot where the module will be
installed. The installation slot must match the slot that is selected for the module in PME hardware configuration.
WARNING
Inserting or removing a PNC001 with power applied to the system may cause an electrical arc. This
can result in unexpected and potentially dangerous action by field devices. Arcing is an explosion
risk in hazardous locations. Be sure that the area is non-hazardous or remove system power
appropriately before removing or inserting a PNC001
3. Connecting the PNC001 to the PROFINET network and to a 10BaseT, 100BaseTX or 1000BaseT IEEE 802.3
network for general Ethernet communications
Note: Shielded cable is required for 1 Gbps operation.
CAUTION
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.
4. Installing SFP devices
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 look into the open port if a cable is not installed.
