Introduction

IC695PNS001 is the general-purpose version of this product. It acts as the "head-end"
of its RX3i I/O rack, scanning all configured I/O modules within that rack and
interfacing via PROFINET with one or more PROFINET IO Controllers. A list of
supported products is provided in Section 1.7. Extension racks are not supported.
Two hardware implementations, -Axxx and -Bxxx, are documented in this manual.
IC695PNS101 is the RX3i Advanced PROFINET Scanner. The IC695PNS101 is being
deployed initially to support the RX3i Sequence of Events (SOE) functionality.
Operation and restrictions are documented in the PACSystems RX3i Sequence of
Events User Manual, GFK 3050. It is physically identical to the Bxxx implementation
of IC695PNS001.
IC695CEP001: a PROFINET Scanner which may control a sub-set of RX3i I/O modules
in a remote I/O drop. For product details, refer to the PACSystems RX3i CEP PROFINET
Scanner User Manual, GFK 2883.
For the IC695PNS001-BABA or later revisions there are some differences that will be outlined in
this manual. This revision is backward compatible with the previous PNS modules, but has a
different front panel look and upgradability to certain future features.
