GFK-2573AD
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 the 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 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.
