Port Status Indicators
Each external switch port has an associated link-up/link-down status bit that can be monitored by the
RX3i CPU to check the operating status of the port (see
―Status Reporting‖ in chapter 5,
―Diagnostics,‖ for information about the PROFINET Controller status bits). In addition, the four Port
LEDs on the front of the module provide a visual indication of the port status.
SFP Modules for Ethernet Ports
Each Small form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) cage on the bottom of a PROFINET Controller module is
capable of accepting a 10/100/1000 Mbps copper SFP, 100Mbps Single-Mode Fiber SFP, 100Mbps
Multi-Mode Fiber SFP, 1000Mbps Single-Mode Fiber SFP, or 1000Mbps Multi-Mode Fiber SFP
device. SFP devices can be removed/replaced during module operation. The RX3i PROFINET
Controller supports the SFP devices listed below. An SFP type other than those listed below may be
configured as a GENERIC SFP in Proficy Machine Edition. The RX3i PROFINET Controller will
attempt to operate with a generic SFP that identifies itself as an Ethernet SFP. Since SFP types
other than those listed below have not been validated, correct operation cannot be guaranteed.
