Configuration Tools
PAC Machine Edition is the primary tool used to configure an RX3i PROFINET network. In
addition, for the PNC001 module only, certain parameters can be set from a computer
through the Command Line Interface (CLI).
The Command Line Interface can be used to set the non-volatile parameters in the PNC001-
Ax module, as listed below. These parameters are initially set up in the PAC Machine Edition
configuration. If any of these parameters is subsequently changed using CLI, the PNC001
module uses the new setting. Regardless of their source, the PNC001 module retains these
settings in non-volatile memory, thus ensuring they can be re-asserted following a power
cycle.

Configuring an RX3i PROFINET Controller
3.3.1
Configuring a Rack-Mounted RX3i PROFINET
Controller (PNC001)
The PNC001-Bxxx is backward compatible with the PNC001-Ax. No hardware
configuration changes to an existing application are required when replacing a PNC001-Ax
with PNC001-Bxxx. The PNC001-Bxxx has a lower power consumption than a -Ax .
Therefore, new applications should use the PNC001-Bxxx hardware configuration so that
PME’s power calculation
is more accurate. Use of the PNC011-Bxxx also provides
customers access to future upgrades as features are added to the PNC001-Bxxx.
