The PACSystems* RX3i Carrier IC695CEP001 interfaces
a remote node, consisting of one RX3i I/O module, to a
PROFINET I/O Local Area Network (LAN).
The optional RX3i Expansion Carrier IC694CEE001
attaches to the RX3i CEP001 Carrier and provides the
ability to add one additional RX3i IC694 I/O module to
the remote node.
The RX3i CEP001 Carrier functions as a PROFINET IO-
Device. The RX3i CEP001 Carrier’s main Remote I/O
functions include:
Scanning all the modules within the remote node
(input and output scan)
Publishing data on the PROFINET network to a
PROFINET IO-Controller at a user-specified
production period
Receiving data from a PROFINET IO-Controller on
the PROFINET network at a customer-specified
production period
Managing PROFINET communication and module
configuration between a PROFINET IO-Controller
and modules within the remote node
Managing the state of the I/O when
communications is lost
Publishing fault information (alarms, diagnostics,
and such) to the PROFINET IO-Controller
Provides power to the CEE001 Expansion Carrier
The insertion and removal of I/O modules is the same as in an RX3i Universal Backplane. Refer to GFK-
2314, PACSystems RX3i System Manual.
The RX3i CEP001 Carrier provides two RJ-45 Ethernet receptacles. It supports 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet

Quick Start
Carrier Installation Requirements
The CEP001 Carrier and optional Expansion Carrier CEE001
can be mounted on a DIN-rail or on a panel.
Adequate installation space is required for:
1. Clearance for communications port cables.
2. Power wiring.
3. Operating the DIN latch.
The RX3i CEP001 Carrier with an I/O module attached requires
an enclosure with minimum depth of 165 mm.
Rated thermal specifications are based on a clearance of
5.1 cm (2”) above and below the equipment and 2.54 cm (1”) to
the left of the RX3i CEP001 Carrier.
Connecting the CEE001 Expansion Carrier to the CEP001 Carrier
1. Open the connector cap on the RX3i CEP001 Carrier.
2. Slide and install the RX3i CEE001 Expansion Carrier along the guide slots on the RX3i CEP001 Carrier.
3. When the Expansion Carrier is aligned with the CEP001 Carrier, engage the expansion connectors.
4. Close the connector cap.
5. Secure the Expansion Carrier to the DIN rail or panel. Refer to Installing an RX3i CEP001 Carrier on a
DIN-rail or Panel Mounting.
6. Connect the grounding hole on the CEE001 to the panel or enclosure as described in Grounding
below.

6 PACSystems* RX3i CEP Carrier
GFK-2884D IC695CEP001 & IC694CEE001
Installing an RX3i CEP001 Carrier on a DIN-rail
The carrier mounts on a standard EN 50022,
35 x 7.5 mm DIN-rail. Conductive (unpainted) finish is
required for proper grounding.
For best resistance to vibration, the DIN-rail should be
installed horizontally on a panel using screws spaced
approximately 15 cm (6”) apart.
1. With a small flathead screwdriver, pull out the two DIN-rail latches and stand the carrier on the DIN-
rail.
2. Push in the two DIN-rail latches so that the latches hold the DIN-rail.
Panel Mounting
For applications requiring maximum or long term resistance to mechanical vibration and shock, the
panel-mounting method is strongly recommended. A minimum panel thickness of 2.4 mm (.093”) is
required. The mounting diagram below applies to both the CEP001 Carrier and CEE001 Expansion Carrier.
Note 1: Tolerances on all dimensions are ±0.2 mm (0.078”) non-cumulative.
Note 2: Apply 1.1 to1.4 Nm (10 to12 in/lbs) of torque to M3.5 (#6-32) steel screws threaded into tapped
holes in the panel.

PACSystems* RX3i CEP Carrier 7
IC695CEP001 & IC694CEE001 GFK-2884D
Grounding
Warning
All CEP001 Carriers in a system must be grounded to minimize electrical shock hazard.
Failure to do so can result in severe personal injury.
The RX3i CEP001 Carrier and CEE001 Expansion Carrier each provide two grounding connection contacts:
Grounding clips at the back of the carrier, which require DIN-rail installation
Grounding screw hole at bottom-left of the carrier
Note:When the Carrier is mounted on a DIN-rail, the grounding clips on the back of the Carrier do not
provide an adequate ground connection. The Carrier’s metal back must also be grounded using a
separate conductor.
Ground each Carrier to the panel or enclosure using a minimum AWG #12 (3.3 mm2) wire with ring
terminals. Use an M3 screw, star lock washer and a flat washer to connect the wire at the Carrier’s
grounding hole. Connect the other end of the ground wire to a tapped hole in the grounded mounting
panel or enclosure, using a machine screw, star lock washer and flat washer. Alternately, if the panel has
a ground stud, use a nut and star lock washer for each wire on the ground stud to ensure adequate
grounding. Where connections are made to a painted panel, the paint should be removed so clean, bare
metal is exposed at the connection point. Terminals and hardware used should be rated to work with the
aluminum carrier material.
Note:The star lock washer method is suitable for a shield ground, but not suitable for a safety ground.

GFK-2884D IC695CEP001 & IC694CEE001
Installing Modules on the Carrier
The insertion and removal of I/O modules is the same as in an RX3i Universal Backplane. For details, refer
to GFK-2314, PACSystems RX3i System Manual.
Caution
Do not install a Power Supply module on the CEP001 or CEE001 Carrier. Attempting to do so
could damage the module and/or the Carrier.
Unsupported Modules
Caution
If an unsupported module is inserted in the CEP001 or CEE001 Carrier, the module will not
be recognized correctly and could cause damage to the Carrier or the module.
When an unsupported I/O module is inserted into either the RX3i CEP001 Carrier or RX3i CEE001
Expansion Carrier, no alarm is reported to indicate this.
For the latest updated list of supported I/O modules, refer to the section, Supported I/O Modules.
Some unsupported I/O modules have the same Distinguishing Class (for example, IC694MDL740 has the
same Distinguishing Class as IC694MDL742).

IC695CEP001 & IC694CEE001 GFK-2884D
Connecting Power Supplies
You will need:
Note: Two power supplies are required if using redundant power supplies.
One 24 Vdc power supply which provides a low voltage/limited current (LVLC) power source. (For
example, the combination of an isolated DC supply and a fuse, listed 30 Vdc minimum and 3 A
maximum, connected in series with the input.)
Power cord with 28 to16 AWG / 0.08 to1.32 mm2wires
Ferrules for 28 to16 AWG wires (optional)
Frame ground wire, 28 to16 AWG
Input power terminal block; provided (WAGO Part Number 713-1103)
Small flathead screwdriver (jeweler’s size 14)
Note:For CE Mark purposes, input power lines to the CEP001 Carrier should be limited 30 m (98 ft)
or less.
Note:Before inserting the wires into the power connector terminal block, use a small flathead
screwdriver to release the spring clamp on the terminal block.
1. Using the power cord, attach the power supply to the power terminal
block as displayed in the following figure.
Recommended wire stripping length is 6 to7 mm (0.25”).
2. If using redundant power supplies, connect the second power supply to

To add a redundant power supply to a system that is already in operation
1. Remove power from the primary power supply to the RX3i CEP001 carrier
2. Remove the power terminal block from the carrier.
3. Without disturbing the primary power supply input lines, connect the redundant power supply
input lines to the power terminal block.
4. Insert the power terminal block into the Input Power connector.
5. Apply power to the redundant power supply. The PWR2 LED on the RX3i CEP001 carrier should
turn on.
6. Apply power to the primary power supply. The PWR1 LED on the CEP001 Carrier should turn on.
Note:For the procedure to swap a redundant power supply, refer to PACSystems RX3i PROFINET
Scanner IC695CEP001 User Manual, GFK-2883.
Connecting the CEP001 to the PROFINET Network
The two external RJ-45 Ethernet ports, which provide 10/100 Mbps copper interfaces, are on the bottom
of the CEP001 Carrier.
Devices connected to the RX3i CEP001 ports should have Ethernet Auto-negotiation enabled. The RX3i
CEP001 Carriers and other participating devices can be connected in a daisy-chain/line, or star topology.
Caution
Do not connect both ports on the Ethernet interface, directly or indirectly, to the same device
so as to form a circular network unless Media Redundancy is enabled with one node actively
set up as the Media Redundancy Manager.
Supported Network Media Types and Distances

This table also indicates whether a given I/O module is supported in the
expansion carrier (CEE001).
HART Pass Through
The following RX3i analog modules support HART Pass Through functionality:
IC695ALG626
IC695ALG6287
IC695ALG728
If used specifically for HART Pass Through, the supporting RX3i PROFINET
Controller (PNC001) and PROFINET Scanner (PNS001 or CEP001) must also
contain HART-compatible firmware:
IC695PNC001-AK Firmware Release 2.30
IC695PNS001-ABAH Firmware Release 2.30
IC695CEP001-AAAD Firmware Release 2.30.
Restrictions and Open Issues
Restriction / Issue
Description
Pulling and plugging a
module during HSB roll
switch can make the I/O
module not able to be
recognized.
When configuring RX3i CEP001 under PROFINET HSB redundancy, if you pull
the I/O module installed on an RX3i CEP001 while switching the current
primary/backup CPU role, then plug the I/O module back in and switch the
primary/backup CPU role back, the I/O module might be lost.
It is not suggested to pull/plug an I/O module during PROFINET HSB
redundancy roll switch. To recover, cycle power to the RX3i.
Module diagnosis alarms
are not stable, especially
when multiple diagnoses
appear at same time.
Whenever fault reporting is configured for an I/O module, and a fault occurs
and is subsequently resolved, the fault might not be reported via the
PROFINET diagnosis appears / diagnosis disappears alarm sequence. This
situation is more likely to be encountered when multiple alarms occur in
rapid succession. See Diagnosis Disappears alarms may be out of sequence
with Diagnosis Appears alarms below.
When supporting
PROFINET System
Redundancy, set
StartupMode to Advanced
The RX3i CEP001 GSDML does not have the attribute
InterfaceSubmoduleItem/ApplicationRelations/@StartupMode. The default is
Legacy according to the GSDML specification. This setting does not matter
for simplex. However, for PROFINET System Redundancy the StartupMode
needs to be set to Advanced. Refer to Protocol (IEC 61158-6-10) in IO APDU
Substitutions. The SRInfoBlock required for System Redundancy is only
available in IODConnect.Req with StartupMode:=1.
Hot swap of ALG626
module while Online with
attached HART device
causes CEP blink trap 1-2.
Whenever the IC695ALG626 module is hot swapped while online with sixteen
HART devices attached to it, the IC695CEP001 may enter a blink trap1-2. To
recover, cycle power to the CEP001.
7
If used, IC695ALG628 must be installed in the RX3i CPU Rack. At time of publication, it is not supported by PROFINET
scanners IC695PNS001 or IC695CEP001. Refer to IPIs for IC695PNS001 or IC695CEP001 for future updates.

Operational Notes
Note
Description
No alarm report when
inserting an
unsupported I/O
module
Whenever an unsupported I/O module is inserted into either the RX3i CEP001
Carrier or RX3i CEE001 Expansion Carrier, no alarm is reported to indicate this.
For a list of supported I/O modules, refer to the section, Supported I/O Modules
above.
Some unsupported I/O modules have the same Distinguishing Class (for
example, IC694MDL740 has the same Distinguishing Class as IC694MDL742).
If an unsupported module is inserted in the CEP001 or CEE001 Carrier, the
module will not be recognized correctly.
Wait time is too long to
enter download mode
If, while using WinLoader, power is lost to the RX3i CEP001 Carrier during a
firmware update, a delay of more than 50 seconds might be required before the
RX3i CEP001 Carrier can enter the firmware update mode again.
USB port drivers
When connecting the USB cable to the RX3i CEP001 Carrier, you may receive a
warning for installing a driver that has not passed Windows®Logo testing.
Each RX3i CEP001 Carrier is recognized as a separate Windows device with
separate installation, as each has a unique serial number. This is normal
operation for this release.
Network parameters
for IO-devices
If the network parameters (IP Address, subnet mask, and gateway IP) assigned
by the DCP tool are different from the configuration in the IO-Controller and the
IO-Controller is configured to assign IP settings to devices, when the IO
Controller assigns its IP settings, the settings previously stored from the DCP
tool are lost. On a reset, the IO-Device is set to factory default values
(0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0) as prescribed by the PROFINET specification.
No Extra Module
alarms
The RX3i CEP001 Carrier and RX3i CEE001 Expansion Carrier ignore all extra
equipment. No Extra I/O Module faults or Loss of I/O Module faults are
generated for unconfigured modules.
Diagnosis Disappears
alarms may be out of
sequence with
Diagnosis Appears
alarms
For RX3i Intelligent modules Diagnosis Disappears alarms are generated by
cyclically polling diagnostic data. These alarms may be slower than Diagnosis
Appears alarms from the same module, which are generated by an interrupt.
Example: When re-applying field power, new channel alarms such as Hi/Low
alarms may occur before the Loss of Field Power alarm clears.
Affected modules are:
IC695MDL664
IC695MDL765
IC695ALG616
IC695ALG626
IC695ALG728
IC695ALG808
CEP001 fails to show
attached I/O module in
PROFINET network
scan when hardware
configuration is absent
If there is no hardware configuration in the controller, and the PROFINET
network is subsequently scanned, the scan may show no I/O module present in
CEP001, even when an I/O module is physically present.
Generic IO module
Whenever an I/O module attached to CEP001 is physically changed, and the
hardware configuration is not updated, the I/O module may show as a
Generic IO module in a subsequent PROFINET network scan.
