Configuring An Rx3I Profinet Controller - GE IC695PNC001 User Manual

Configuring an RX3i PROFINET Controller

This section describes one technique to configure the
parameters of an RX3i PNC. The PROFICY Machine Edition
Infoviewer describes alternative menus and keyboard operations
that may be used to perform the same functions.
1. In the Project tab of the Navigator, expand the PACSystems
Target, the hardware configuration, and the main rack (Rack
0).
2. Right-click an empty slot and choose Add Module. The
Module Catalog opens.
3. Open the Bus Controller tab, select the IC695PNC001
module and click OK.
4. The PNC is placed in the rack and its parameters are
displayed in the Parameter Editor window. Its
communications properties appear in the Inspector pane.
Edit the PNC's parameters and its communications properties as described in this chapter.
Exploring PROFINET Networks
To explore the PROFINET networks in the system while PROFICY Machine Edition is online with the
RX3i system, right-click on the Target icon (not the PNC) and select Explore PROFINET Networks
under the Online Commands menu item. The PNCs in the main rack will show version information
about all the devices on their networks such as VersaMax PNS modules and VersaMax modules in
remote nodes, whether the devices are configured or not.
