PROFINET Networks for PACSystems

PROFINET is an open standard for industrial automation that is based on Industrial Ethernet. The PROFINET IO
framework allows the creation of I/O data exchanges between controllers and distributed devices. It also
allows configuration, parameterization, and diagnostics communication between controllers and devices.
Note: The PROFINET Controller operates only in auto-negotiate mode. All PROFINET bus devices and
switches that are connected to the PROFINET Controller should be configured to use auto-
negotiation.
The following products support PROFINET I/O:

Components of the RX3i PROFINET network consist of a PACSystems RX3i PROFINET Controller
communicating with IO Devices on the PROFINET bus.
The PROFINET Controller may be an embedded PROFINET Controller (CPE400 or CPE330 or CPE100/CPE115)
or a rack-mounted PNC001 module located in the RX3i CPU rack. For rack-mounted PNC001 units, the main
RX3i rack can include up to four PNC001 modules, each communicating with its own high-speed network.
IO Devices on the network can consist of the I/O modules installed in a rack, each containing a PROFINET
Scanner (PNS) as its head-end, such as the GE products listed above. The network may also include a wide
range of third-party IO Devices, such as pressure gauges and motor actuators, that are connected directly to
the PROFINET network.
