PROFINET Controller Description
This manual covers two types of PROFINET Controller:
1.
The traditional Rack-mounted RX3i PROFINET Controller, IC695PNC001;
2.
A PROFINET Controller that is embedded within a CPU.
1.2.1
PNC001 Description
The PACSystems RX3i PROFINET Controller module, IC695PNC001,
connects a PACSystems RX3i controller to a PROFINET network. It enables
the RX3i controller to communicate with IO-Devices on the network. The
PNC001 provides all the functions, services, and protocols required for
certification as a PROFINET IO Version 2.2 IO Controller, running at both
100Mbps and 1Gbps.
The PNC001 supports 10/100/1000Mbps Copper, 100/1000Mbps Multi-
mode Fiber, and 100/1000Mbps Single-mode Fiber. The network can
include media interfaces of more than one type. PROFINET
communications on the network require 100 and 1000 Mbps link speed.
10Mbps cannot be used for PROFINET communications. However, 10Mbps
can be used for other types of Ethernet traffic, such as ping, and telnet.
Features of the RX3i PNC001 module include:
▪
Full programming and configuration services for the PROFINET
Controller, PROFINET Scanners (PNS), and other third-party IO-
Devices using PROFICY Machine Edition.
▪
Firmware upgrades using the WinLoader software utility.
▪
Built-in Command Line Interface function that provides direct
monitoring and partial configuration via the
module’s micro USB port
or using telnet. (PNC001-Ax only)
Note:
The USB port is for system set-up and diagnostics only.
It is not intended for permanent connection.
▪
Support for star, ring, and daisy-chain/line network topologies.
▪
Four switched Ethernet ports
—
two 8-conductor RJ45 shielded
twisted pair 10/100/1000 Mbps copper interfaces and two Small
Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) cages for user-supplied SFP devices.
▪
Support for media redundancy
▪
Internal clock synchronized with the RX3i CPU for time-stamped
diagnostics entries.
▪
Restart pushbutton to manually restart the module without power
cycling the system.
▪
LEDs:
OK, LAN, STATUS, CONFIG, ACTIVE, USB
(PNC001-Ax only), and
Port Number
LEDs as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.
