Ethernet Ports
CPE115 provides two independent Fast Ethernet LANs.
•LAN1 has only one port and is dedicated to the embedded Ethernet controller.
•LAN2 is comprised of 3 switched ports, each configurable either as a second
embedded Ethernet controller or as an embedded PROFINET controller.
Use PME to configure the operation of the ports.
All the Ethernet ports of both the LAN1 and LAN2 are capable of automatically sensing
the link data rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), communications mode (half-duplex or full-
duplex), and cabling arrangement (straight-through or crossover).
To establish Ethernet communications between the PME programming software and
the CPE115, you first need to set a valid IP address.

Gateway:
0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0

6 PACSystems™ RSTi-EP EPSCPE115 Standalone CPU Quick Start Guide GFK-3039C
Note:
•LAN2 will not be operational unless it is configured from the
programmer with a valid IP address.
•Care must be taken when assigning IP Addresses and subnet masks to
each LAN so that an overlapping IP subnet is not created. Intermittent or
no Ethernet communication may result if an overlapping IP subnet is
created and the two interfaces are NOT connected (cabled) to the same
physical network.
•By default, PME prohibits configuring both LAN interfaces on an
overlapping IP subnet. (This may be changed by going to Controller
General Options and changing the Multiple Embedded LANs on Same
Subnet to Show as Warning.)
Typical Network Application
A typical application will take advantage of the two independent LANs. The dedicated
LAN 1 port will be used for communications with plant-level or supervisory layers. The
switched LAN 2 will be used to communicate with devices over PROFINET within the
manufacturing cell or process.

Typical Multilevel Network Application
Whenever CPE115 is configured for MRP only, Ethernet Port2 & Port3 of LAN2 may be
used to form a ring. Ethernet Port4 of LAN2 may still be used either to connect to the
programmer, to a simplex PROFINET device or to any other supported Ethernet
protocols.

Module Start-up
Power-Up Time
The CPE115 requires at a minimum 35 to 40 seconds to complete power-up. When
power is applied, all the Ethernet Port LEDs blink once. When power up is complete,
the OK LED turns on and remains steady whereas the RUN LED indicates the current
run mode.
Whenever the internal super capacitors are completely
discharged, the CPE100 might take approximately 105 seconds
to complete the power-up sequence. Typically, this occurs when
the unit is without power for a few days.

Programming the CPE115
To configure the CPE115, connect the computer running the PME programming
software to an Ethernet port of LAN1 using the default IP address 192.168.0.100. PME
9.5 SIM 1 or later is required.
Configuration will either start out using the RSTi-EP CPE115 template when creating
a new project or will convert an existing project to the CPE115 using the Family
Conversion feature in PME.
Backwards Compatibility
To convert an existing project which uses any other PLC, use the Family Conversion
feature in PME. Be aware of the constraints involved, as will be notified in PME. For
instance, the first PROFINET Controller in an RX3i CPU320 application will be assigned
to the embedded PROFINET Controller feature of the CPE115.
PROFINET Controller Configuration
An Embedded PROFINET Controller may be configured on LAN2. To enable the
PROFINET Controller in a CPE115 project, select the CPE115 target in the PME
Navigator (Figure 11) and open the Hardware Configuration.
On the Settings tab, change the LAN2 Mode of the selected port to PROFINET. The
PROFINET Controller node description then displays that a PROFINET node exists on
the selected LAN (under the CPE115). For further details, refer to the PACSystems Rx3i
& RSTi-EP PROFINET IO-Controller User Manual, GFK-2571.
