Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
Warning
Warning notices are used in this publication to emphasize that hazardous voltages,
currents, temperatures, or other conditions that could cause personal injury exist in this
equipment or may be associated with its use. In situations where inattention could cause
either personal injury or damage to equipment, a Warning notice is used.
■Installing or removing modules or wiring with power applied to the system or field wiring
can 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 power appropriately before installing or removing
modules or wiring.
■Potentially dangerous voltages are present on a module’s terminals, even when system
power is turned off. Field power must be turned off when installing or removing a terminal
block assembly.
■Personnel, who install, operate and maintain automation systems that contain these
products must be trained and qualified to perform those functions.
■Overloading power modules or Network adapter can result into electric arc & damage to
modules.
Caution
Caution notices are used where equipment might be damaged if care is not taken.
■Check the rated voltage and terminal array before wiring.
■Ensure that specified environmental conditions are not exceeded. Avoid placing the
module in direct sunlight.
■Review module specifications carefully, and ensure that input and output connections are
made in accordance with the specifications.
■Use specified cables for wiring.
■Field power isolators must be used according to the requirements of the
5VDC/24VDC/48VDC or AC Voltage modules used in the system.
■If system power consumption exceeds the power limits, use system power expansion
modules.
■Make sure power supplies for system power and field power must be supplied from
separate sources.

Note: Notes merely call attention to information that is especially significant to
understanding and operating the equipment.
This document is based on information available at the time of its publication. While efforts
have been made to be accurate, the information contained herein does not purport to cover all

Introduction
The PACSystems RSTi Network Interface and I/O family provides a low cost, modular
distributed I/O system. The RSTi network is ideally suited for distributed applications such
as water/wastewater, process control, packaging and assembly. You can easily add RSTi
modules to the system to build functional remote I/O stations to meet your application
requirements.

A set of interconnected RSTi modules can be chosen to suit the application and
connected as a slave on a PROFIBUS or a PROFINET network. An RSTi PROFIBUS or
PROFINET Network Adapter provides the interface between the network and the RSTi
modules. The Network Adapter and I/O modules selected for an application constitute an
I/O station.

I/O Station Capacity
Up to 32 IO devices can be connected to a Network Adapter (STXPBS001,
STXPNS001) whereas. PROFIBUS network adapters with integrated IO support only
up to 8 IO modules. The power consumption of all the modules in the node should be
calculated and ensured that it does not exceed the capacity of Network Adapter and
power modules.
The sum of all input and output data can be up to:
504 bytes per station for a PROFINET network
256 bytes per station for a PROFIBUS network
The maximum number of I/O stations per RX3i Profinet controller is 128 and for Rx3i
profibus Controller is 125
Network Topology
For PROFIBUS networks, I/O stations can be connected via linear bus architecture with
active bus termination at both ends. Devices in a PROFIBUS network connect directly to
the bus cable or indirectly via stub lines.
For PROFINET networks, I/O stations can be connected using either linear or star
architecture.
Installation
The Network Adapter must be connected to the left of the other RSTi modules in the I/O
station.
Within the RSTi station the bus connection, power supply, and power distribution are
completed by connecting modules together on the DIN rail. Sensors and actuators are
wired to the RSTi 
terminal strips. These terminal strips can be keyed so that they cannot be accidentally
swapped. If a module must be replaced, the wiring does not need to be removed; just
remove the terminal strip from the module.
An All-in-One PROFIBUS Network Adapter that includes built-in digital I/O is available. It
combines the advantages of slice-type and block-type construction and offers reduced
system design and maintenance costs. You can add up to eight IO modules to the All-in-
One adapter.
Features
Modules can be easily installed and connected without tools.
Flexible and modular structure allows I/O stations to be easily expanded.
A comprehensive selection of I/O modules supports a wide range of applications.
Small removable terminal blocks conserve panel space and save time making system
connections.
By using Pin Slide way for stable system configuration, the contact between modules
can be maximized after module connection.
Module-based diagnostic functions
The amount of costly parallel wiring is reduced. Within a station, voltage and data
routing can be carried out without additional wiring, reducing the cabinet space
needed.
