Chapter 1 Overview This chapter provides an overview of the RX3i CEP (carrier embedded PROFINET) product for PACSystems RX3i I/O modules and their operation. The RX3i CEP carriers for PACSystems* RX3i I/O modules product line includes the following: Catalog Number...
Chapter 1. Overview 1.1 CEP Carrier The RX3i CEP Carrier (IC695CEP001) interfaces a remote node of one RX3i I/O module to a PROFINET I/O Local Area Network (LAN). The RX3i CEP Carrier works as a PROFINET Scanner. It scans the I/O modules installed on it and, if present, the RX3i CEP Expansion Carrier, retrieving input data and providing output data, and exchanges that data on the PROFINET I/O LAN at the configured production rate.
Note: For product standards, general operating specifications, and installation requirements, refer to PACSystems RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314. Value does not include the power consumption of the installed I/O modules. When calculating the total power requirements, you will need to add the power consumption of the I/O modules according to the I/O module datasheet.
Chapter 1. Overview 1.4 Controls and Indicators Figure 1: RX3i CEP Carrier with the Expansion Carrier Connected LEDs on the RX3i CEP Carrier and Expansion Carrier LEDs provide an immediate visual indication of the RX3i CEP’s operational state and port link status. The LEDs and their operation are described in Chapter 2, LED Operation and Connectors.
Chapter 1. Overview Ethernet Port Connections Figure 2: CEP001 Underside View The two external Ethernet ports are on the bottom of the module. Each port on an RX3i CEP Carrier operates independently, so devices that operate at different speeds and/or duplex modes can be attached to the ports. By default, all ports are set for Automatic, which enables auto-negotiation for the widest range of options supported by the port.
The PROFINET IO-Supervisor is typically used for commissioning or diagnostics. PROFINET Communications For details about communications on an RX3i PROFINET network, refer to the PACSystems RX3i & RSTi-EP PROFINET I/O Controller Manual, GFK-2571, and to the PACSystems RX3i PROFINET Scanner Manual, GFK-2737.

Chapter 1. Overview Bumpless Operation with MRP The RX3i CEP Carrier supports bumpless operation with the GE Automation & Controls PROFINET IO- Controller if specific conditions are met. Bumpless operation means that a single break in an MRP ring will not cause the PROFINET connection to be lost and there is no observed loss and addition of PROFINET I/O Devices while the ring network recovers.
The minimum I/O rate that is possible for bumpless operation depends on the speed and the type of physical connection being used for the MRP ring ports. The RX3i PROFINET IO Controller supports a specified number of GE Automation & Controls PROFINET I/O devices running at or above the minimum I/O Update Rate listed in the following table.

The name of each device on the LAN must match the hardware configuration in the IO-Controller.
Chapter 5 Operation This chapter describes RX3i CEP Carrier startup and restart, input status data, I/O modules replacement while scanning, and firmware update as follows: • Power-up • I/O Scanning • Hot Swap of I/O Modules • Firmware Update • Installing the USB Port Driver GFK-2883E March 2018...
Chapter 5. Operation 5.1 Power-up When power is applied, the RX3i CEP Carrier loads a firmware image. During the power-up process, the CEP Carrier runs diagnostics and initializes its hardware components. After completing power-up sequence, the OK LED changes from being off to solid on green. If a fatal error occurs during powerup, the amber OK LED blinks a unique pattern indicating the nature of the failure.
Chapter 5. Operation 5.2 I/O Scanning RX3i CEP Status and Control Data The RX3i CEP Carrier provides 32 bits of input status data and receives 32 bits of output control data. The application program in the IO-Controller system can monitor the input status bits for the RX3i CEP Carrier. The output control bits are reserved for future use and have no function at this time.
Chapter 5. Operation Data Coherency The RX3i CEP provides coherency at a sub-module basis only. This means that output data from a single IO- Controller for multiple modules in the RX3i CEP Carrier and Expansion Carrier might not be applied by the RX3i CEP during the same output scan.
I/O. Operation must continue to comply with PACSystems Hot Insertion and Removal requirements as documented in the PACSystems RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314. This depends mostly on the timing requirements for physically seating a module.
Chapter 5. Operation 5.4 Firmware Updates Note: The RX3i CEP Carrier does not prevent initiation of firmware update when it is actively connected to an IO-Controller. When the RX3i CEP Carrier enters firmware update mode, the RX3i CEP and its modules go to their IO default modes. During the update, the RX3i CEP does not drive module outputs or send inputs to the IO-Controller.
Chapter 5. Operation 5.5 Installing the USB Port Driver The USB port is only used for firmware updates. USB driver files are provided as part of upgrade packages compatible with the RX3i CEP.
