LEDs on the PROFINET Controller Module
The table below summarizes LED functions. For detailed information about error indications and special blink patterns
refer to
Installation
and
Diagnostics
in
GFK-2571.
OK
Indicates whether the module is able to perform normal operation.
LAN
Indicates network packets are being processed by the network interface (not just passing through
the embedded switch).
STATUS
Indicates the condition of the PROFINET Controller during normal operation. It indicates whether
an entry other than the startup event is present in the module’s local log. STATUS can also indicate
whether any of the MAC addresses are invalid.
CONFIG
Indicates whether the module has received its configuration from the RX3i CPU.
ACTIVE
Indicates the status of PROFINET connections.
USB
Indicates activity on the USB port.
Port
LEDs
Indicate link speed, link connection and link activity corresponding to the four possible external
Ethernet ports.
Quick Start
Installation and initial startup procedures for the PNC include the following steps. Before installing and operating the
PNC, refer to GFK-2571,
PACSystems RX3i PROFINET Controller Manual
for detailed information.
1. Pre-Installation check
2. Installing the PNC in an RX3i backplane
The PNC must be installed in the main (CPU) rack of the RX3i system, using a Universal Backplane such as IC695CHS007,
CHS012 or CHS016. The PNC supports insertion/removal while power is applied to the system (hot swap). This includes
backplane power and field power supplied to the PNC.
The back of the PNC has an exposed heat sink and backplane connector. Before inserting the module into the
backplane, remove the plastic knockout in the slot where the module will be placed. The installation slot must match the
slot that is selected in the module’s hardware configuration.
Warning
Inserting or removing a PNC with power applied to the system may cause an electrical arc. This can result in
unexpected and potentially dangerous action by field devices. Arcing is an explosion risk in hazardous locations. Be
sure that the area is non-hazardous or remove system power appropriately before removing or inserting a PNC.
3. Connecting the PNC to the PROFINET network and to a 10BaseT, 100BaseTX or 1000BaseT IEEE 802.3 network for
general Ethernet communications
Caution
Do not connect two or more ports on the PNC to the same device, either directly or indirectly, unless Media
Redundancy is enabled in the PNC’s configuration.
If Media Redundancy will be used, do not close the network ring until after the Media Redundancy configuration which
contains one node as a Media Redundancy Manager (MRM) has been downloaded to the PNC. If a Media Redundancy
Manager is not present, packets can continuously cycle on the network, using up significant network bandwidth.
Note:
Shielded cable is required for 1 Gbps operation.
