Rsti-Ep Standalone Cpu With Embedded Profinet Controller Using Multiple Ports; Figure 16: Rx3I System With One Profinet Controller And Multiple Profinet Lans - GE PACSystems RX3i User Manual

Chapter 1. Introduction
1.6.11 RSTi-EP Standalone CPU with embedded PROFINET Controller
using multiple ports
The illustration above shows a basic system with one PACSystems RSTi-EP CPU node with embedded
PROFINET Controller controlling one PROFINET network. The network can connect up to 8 compatible IO-
Devices, including any combination of GE PROFINET Scanners and third-party IO-Devices.
Figure 16 shows one RSTi-EP CPE100/CPE115 embedded PROFINET Controller that is directly connected to
three separate IO-Devices in a Star topology. Although each IO-Device is connected to a separate Ethernet
port, they are all on the same network segment (IO LAN1). The IO-Devices in this example are one VersaMax
two RSTi-EP PROFINET Scanners, but RX3i PROFINET Scanners (PNS001) and third-party IO-Devices may also
be used.
