Chapter 1 Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the PACSystems RX3i PROFINET Scanner (PNS) module and its
operation. The last two pages of this chapter are a glossary that summarizes many terms used in the
manual.
Chapter 2, LED Operation and Connector Details, provides detailed description of the module’s indicators
and ports
Chapter 3, Installation, gives instructions for PNS module installation and replacing a PNS module.
Provides information for selecting SFP modules and network cabling and connectors.
Chapter 4, Configuration, describes how to configure the RX3i PROFINET Scanner and its associated IO-
devices.
Chapter 5, Operations, describes powering up and restarting the RX3i PROFINET Scanner, the input status
data, replacing I/O modules while scanning, and how to update the firmware.
Chapter 6, Diagnostics, describes configuration faults, how to check the RX3i PROFINET Scanner version
information, fatal error handling, and some common troubleshooting suggestions.
Appendix A, PROFINET Specifications, summarizes the features specified for PROFINET v2.3 Class A IO-
Devices that are supported by the RX3i PROFINET Scanner module

Chapter 1. Introduction
2 PACSystems* RX3i PROFINET IO-Scanner User Manual GFK-2737F
The PACSystems RX3i PROFINET Scanner (PNS) module, IC695PNS001, connects a remote universal RX3i
I/O rack of Series 90-30 or RX3i modules to a PROFINET I/O Controller. The PROFINET Scanner scans the
modules in its rack, retrieving input data and providing output data, and exchanges that data on the
PROFINET I/O LAN at the configured production rate.
The PNS manages PROFINET communication and module configuration between an I/O Controller and
modules in the remote rack. If network communications are lost, the PNS manages I/O states according
to the individual module configurations.
The PNS supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Copper, 100/1000 Mbps Multi-mode Fiber, and 100/1000 Mbps
Single-mode Fiber. PROFINET communications on the network require 100 or 1000 Mbps link speed.
Although 10 Mbps cannot be used for PROFINET communications, 10 Mbps can be used for other types of
Ethernet traffic such as PING. Features of the RX3i PNS include:
Full programming and configuration services for all supported Series 90-30 and RX3i I/O Modules
using Proficy* Machine Edition. For a list of currently supported I/O modules, refer to the Important
Product Information (IPI) document provided with the firmware version on your PNS module.
Support for daisy-chain/line, star, or ring (redundant media) topologies.
Four switched Ethernet ports - two 8-conductor RJ45 shielded twisted pair 10/100/1000 Mbps copper
interfaces and two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) cages for user-supplied SFP devices.
The network can include media interfaces of more than one type.
Support for transfer of IO-Device Name to another PNS module using an SD card. This eliminates the
need to connect a configuration tool, such as Proficy Machine Edition when replacing a module.
A USB port for field updates of firmware using WinLoader.
Note: The USB port is for firmware upgrades only. It is not intended for permanent connection.
