1.6.3 Basic System: One RX3i CPU and One PROFINET
Controller using multiple ports
The illustration below shows a basic system with one PACSystems RX3i CPU node that has
one RX3i PROFINET Controller module controlling one PROFINET network. The network can
connect to 128 compatible IO-Devices, including any combination of Emerson PROFINET
Scanners and third-party IO Devices.
Figure 7 shows one RX3i PROFINET Controller that is directly connected to four separate IO
Devices in a Star topology. Although each IO Device is connected to a separate Ethernet port
on the PNC001, they are all on the same network segment (IO LAN1). The IO-Devices in this
example are all VersaMax PROFINET Scanners, but RX3i PROFINET Scanners (PNS001,
PNS101) and third-party IO-Devices may also be used.

1.6.4 Basic System: Third-Party Devices and PAC Machine
Edition Programmer
Third-party IO Devices can be used with the RX3i PROFINET Controller if their manufacturer
provides a GSDML file that can be imported into PAC Machine Edition. The GSDML file
defines the characteristics of the IO-Device and its I/O modules. Importing a third-party IO
Device GSDML file and configuring third-party IO-Devices are described in Section 3:, and in
the PAC Machine Edition online help.
After receiving a third-party device's configuration, the RX3i PROFINET Controller connects
to the third-party IO-Device if the device is available, transfers the configuration to the
device, and starts exchanging I/O and alarm data with the device.
