Adding RX3i Modules

4.2.3
For a list of modules, power supplies and backplanes that can be used with an RX3i PROFINET Scanner I/O
Device, refer to Section 1.7. Select the slot in the rack into which a particular module will be placed, then
select the catalog number for that module from the drop-down list provided.
Adding a Power Supply
4.2.3.1
Some power supplies occupy two slots in the backplane. When adding a two-slot power supply to an RX3i
Scanner configuration, it should be configured in the left-most slot occupied by the module, and nothing
configured for the other slot. For example, when installing an IC695PSA140 power supply in slots 0 and 1
in the backplane, it is configured in slot 0 and nothing is configured in slot 1. Because both slots of a two-
slot power supply must fit within the rack, a 2- slot power supply cannot be placed in the last non-
expansion slot of a rack.
Adding power supplies to the configuration sets up power supply alarms. Loss of Module alarms will be
triggered if the power supply is configured but not working, or configured in the wrong subslot. These
power supplies have no configurable parameters, but their power supply and GSDML details can be
viewed by double-clicking on a power supply icon or right-clicking and selecting Configure.
Adding and Configuring an Ethernet Port
4.2.3.2
SFP modules may be added to the RX3i PNS by selecting the desired SFP module type from the available
SFP module list and assigning it to Port 3 or Port 4. Refer to Section 3.5, SFP Modules for Ethernet Ports for
more details.
To add an SFP module to a PNS: using Proficy Machine Edition, right-click the slot containing the PNS and
select Change Submodule List (Figure 9) to display a dialog box that will present a list of supported SFP
modules.
