Configuration Tools
Proficy Machine Edition is the primary tool used to configure an RX3i PROFINET network. In
addition, certain parameters can be set from a computer through the PNC
’s Command Line
Interface.
The Command Line Interface can be used to set the PNC
’s non-volatile parameters, which are listed
below. These parameters are initially set up in the Machine Edition configuration. If any of these
parameters is subsequently changed from the Command Line Interface, the module uses the new
setting. Regardless of their source, the module retains these non-volatile parameter settings over
power cycles.
