Installation
If the replacement PNS module has no assigned Device Name (the CONNECT LED is blinking
Amber slowly), the network cabling can be plugged back in and the name assigned over the
PROFINET network.
However, if the replacement PNS module already has an assigned Device Name, there will be a
risk of a duplicate Device Name on the network. This condition cannot be tolerated by the
PROFINET Controller. This situation can be avoided by transferring the Device Name from the
installed PNS to the replacement PNS via the SD Card prior to connecting the replacement unit to
the PROFINET network.
If there is a possibility of duplicate Device Names or duplicate IP Addresses existing on the
network, these should be assigned before inserting the replacement PNS into a working
PROFINET network. The Device Name and IP Address settings can be updated offline (for
example, in an office setting).
Use the PAC Machine Edition DCP Tool to store the Device Name to the RX3i SD Card installed in
the PNS SD slot. Avoid hand-editing Device Name files contained on the SD Card. Storing an
illegal name to the RX3i PNS will prevent it from connecting to its PROFINET Controller until a
valid Device Name is stored.
Remove power from the PNS module. This should be done before network cabling
is removed, especially in the case of fiber connections.
Remove network cabling from the module.
Remove the SD Card from the module.
Remove the module.
Install the replacement PNS module.
Insert the SD Card from Step 3) in the replacement PNS module.
Connect network cabling to the replacement PNS module.
Apply power to the replacement PNS module hardware. The PROFINET IO-Controller
will update any IP Address settings automatically when it connects.
