Ethernet Network Ports
The PROFINET Controller connects to a PROFINET network via one or more of its four external
switch ports. Two 8-conductor RJ-45 shielded twisted pair 10/100/1000 Mbps copper interfaces and
two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) cages provide flexibility in media selection and the ability to
use redundant media for the PROFINET network. Use of redundant media must first be set up in the
module configuration. Chapter 6 provides additional information about redundant media.
The PROFINET protocol supported by the PACSystems RX3i PROFINET modules may be sent and
received over any of the four external ports.
The module is assigned five Ethernet MAC addresses: one for each of the four external Ethernet
ports and one for the internal switch.
