PROFINET Controller Description

The PACSystems RX3i PROFINET Controller module,
IC695PNC001, connects a PACSystems RX3i controller to a
PROFINET network. It enables the RX3i controller to communicate
with IO-Devices on the network. The PNC provides all the functions,
services, and protocols required for certification as a PROFINET IO
Version 2.2 IO Controller, running at both 100Mbps and 1Gbps.
The PNC supports 10/100/1000Mbps Copper, 100/1000Mbps Multi-
mode Fiber, and 100/1000Mbps Single-mode Fiber. The network
can include media interfaces of more than one type. PROFINET
communications on the network require 100 and 1000 Mbps link
speed. 10Mbps cannot be used for PROFINET communications.
However, 10Mbps can be used for other types of Ethernet traffic,
such as ping, and telnet.
Features of the RX3i PNC include:
▪
Full programming and configuration services for the PROFINET
Controller, VersaMax PROFINET Scanner (PNS) and third-party
IO-Devices using PROFICY Machine Edition.
▪
Firmware upgrades using the WinLoader software utility.
▪
Built-in Command Line Interface function that provides direct
monitoring and partial configuration via the module's micro USB
port or using telnet.
Note: The USB port is for system setup and diagnostics only. It
is not intended for permanent connection.
▪
Support for star, ring, and daisy-chain/line network topologies.
▪
Four switched Ethernet ports — two 8-conductor RJ-45 shielded twisted pair 10/100/1000 Mbps
copper interfaces and two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) cages for user-supplied SFP
devices.
▪
Support for media redundancy
▪
Internal clock synchronized with the RX3i CPU for time-stamped diagnostics entries.
▪
Restart pushbutton to manually restart the module without power cycling the system.
▪
LEDs: OK, LAN, STATUS, CONFIG, ACTIVE, USB, and four Port LEDs.
