Fault Notifications
Powering up or down, or connecting/disconnecting the GCG001 from the controlling
PROFINET device will have effects specific to the particular controlling device. The discussion
below relates to using the RX3i PROFINET Controller as the controlling device.
Removing a GCG001 from the PROFINET network causes a
Loss of Device
fault for the GCG001
itself and all Genius devices connected via that GCG001.
Adding a GCG001 to the PROFINET network causes an
Addition of Device
fault for the GCG001
itself and all Genius devices connected via that GCG001.
Note that when a GCG001 is replaced by a successor GCG001, it is important to ensure that
the successor is configured for PROFINET in the same manner as its predecessor. The quickest
way to ensure this is to remove the SD Card from the original and insert it into the successor
GCG001.

Configuring the Genius Gateway to Operate with the RX3i CPU
1)
Start the Machine Edition application, then open or create the project which will contain
the GCG001 module.
2)
Configuring the rack, power supply, CPU and PROFINET Controller in the Project tab of the
Navigator
3)
Follow the instructions in the
RX3i PROFINET Controller System Manual GFK-2571
for
adding devices to the PROFINET IO Network. The GCG001 will be one of those devices.
4)
Note that each IO Device connected to the GCG001 will be mapped per the RX3i
PROFINET Controller configuration.
2.6
Ethernet Port Connections
As noted earlier, PROFINET IO operates at 100Mbps or higher (full duplex). The GCG001 Genius
Gateway cannot operate at a data rate greater than 100Mbps. Thus, for normal operation, at
least one port must be operated at 100Mbps. Other devices operating at 10Mbps may co-exist
on that network, though this would not be typical.
Each Ethernet port on the GCG001 module (see Figure 3) operates independently, so devices
that operate at different speeds and/or duplex modes may be attached to the ports. Each port
automatically detects the attached cable and functions properly with either straight-through
or crossover cables.
Note:
The module operates only in auto-negotiate mode. All PROFINET devices
and switches that are connected to the module should be configured to
use auto-negotiation.
