GFK-2884D
June 2015
The insertion and removal of I/O modules is the same as in an RX3i Universal Backplane. Refer to GFK-
2314, PACSystems RX3i System Manual.
The RX3i CEP001 Carrier provides two RJ-45 Ethernet receptacles. It supports 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet
standard interface.
Features
Full programming and configuration services for all supported RX3i I/O Modules using Proficy
Machine Edition. Refer to the section,
Support daisy-chain/line, star, or ring (redundant media) network topologies.
Two switched Ethernet ports: two eight-conductor RJ-45 shielded-twisted pair 10/100 Mbps copper
interfaces.
USB port for field updates of firmware using WinLoader.
Supports Hot-standby CPU Redundancy using PROFINET I/O: requires RX3i CEP001 2.01 GSDML
version 2.3 or later.
Supports HART
Pass Through using PROFINET.
®
Note:
The USB port is for firmware upgrades only. It is not intended for permanent connection.
Note:
The CEP001 Carrier requires a user-supplied +24 Vdc power source.

PACSystems* RX3i CEP Carrier
Important Product Information
The PACSystems* RX3i Carrier IC695CEP001 interfaces
a remote node, consisting of one RX3i I/O module, to a
PROFINET I/O Local Area Network (LAN).
The optional RX3i Expansion Carrier IC694CEE001
attaches to the RX3i CEP001 Carrier and provides the
ability to add one additional RX3i IC694 I/O module to
the remote node.
The RX3i CEP001 Carrier functions as a PROFINET IO-
Device. The RX3i CEP001 Carrier's main Remote I/O
functions include:
Scanning all the modules within the remote node
(input and output scan)
Publishing data on the PROFINET network to a
PROFINET IO-Controller at a user-specified
production period
Receiving data from a PROFINET IO-Controller on
the PROFINET network at a customer-specified
production period
Managing PROFINET communication and module
configuration between a PROFINET IO-Controller
and modules within the remote node
Managing the state of the I/O when
communications is lost
Publishing fault information (alarms, diagnostics,
and such) to the PROFINET IO-Controller
Provides power to the CEE001 Expansion Carrier
Supported I/O
Modules.
