For additional information about PROFINET installation and configuration, refer to the PACSystems RX3i &
RSTi-EP PROFINET I/O Controller Manual, GFK-2571. You will also need Proficy Machine Edition (PME)
configuration and programming software, version 8.0 or later.
2.1 Pre-Installation Check
Upon receiving your RX3i equipment, carefully inspect all shipping containers for damage. If any part of the
system is damaged, notify the carrier immediately. The damaged shipping container should be saved as
evidence for inspection by the carrier.
As the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during
shipment. GE Automation & Controls will cooperate fully with you, however, should such action be necessary.
After unpacking the RX3i equipment, record all serial numbers. Serial numbers are required if you should need
to contact Customer Care during the warranty period. All shipping containers and all packing material should
be saved should it be necessary to transport or ship any part of the system.
Verify that all components of the system have been received and that they agree with your order. If the system
received does not agree with your order, contact Customer Care.
If you need technical help, contact Technical Support. For phone numbers and email addresses, see the
Contact Information page in the front of this manual.
2.2 Installation Location
This product is primarily intended for use with the RX3i system. Its components are considered open
equipment (having live electrical parts that may be accessible to users) and must be installed in an ultimate
enclosure that is manufactured to provide safety. At a minimum, the enclosure shall provide a degree of
protection against solid objects as small as 12mm (e.g. fingers). This equates to a NEMA/UL Type 1 enclosure or
an IP20 rating (IEC 60529) providing at least a pollution degree 2 environment. For details about installing RX3i
rack systems, refer to the PACSystems RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314.
