PROFINET Operation Overview

An RX3i Genius Communications Gateway (GCG001) uses PROFINET communications for
data exchange with the PLC. As noted above, the data rate must be 100Mbps full-duplex or
faster. The same network may be used for basic Ethernet communications, but use of a
separate Ethernet network and RX3i Ethernet interface is recommended.
PROFINET Communications
Communications on an RX3i PROFINET network use the standard PROFINET
communications described in this section. Note, however, that the Genius Gateway
GCG001 is constrained to work only with EMERSON PROFINET PLC products.
