Adding An Io-Device To A Profinet Lan; Adding An Rx3I Profinet Scanner To The Profinet Lan - GE RX3i PROFINET User Manual

Adding an IO-Device to a PROFINET LAN

4.2
Use the PROFINET I/O configuration tool to add an IO-Device to the LAN:

In the case of an IO-Device consisting of a rack of RX3i I/O modules, that rack must contain an
RX3i Scanner PNS001 as its head-end.

In the case of an IO-Device consisting of a remote drop of RX3i I/O modules, but no RX3i I/O rack,
the CEP001 acts as the head-end unit. For product details, refer to the PACSystems RX3i CEP
PROFINET Scanner User Manual, GFK-2883.

In the case of an IO-Device consisting of a rack of VersaMax I/O modules, that rack must contain
a VersaMax Scanner IC200PNS001 or IC200PNS002 as its head-end. For product details, refer to
the VersaMax PROFINET Scanner Manual, GFK-2721.

Adding an RX3i PROFINET Scanner to the PROFINET LAN

4.2.1
Begin this process by importing the GSDML file corresponding to the PNS001 module and its associated
RX3i I/O Rack. Seven versions of this GSDML file are available, based
1) on the size of the host RX3i I/O Rack backplane and
2) upon which slot in that rack the PNS will occupy.
Apart from these two aspects, the GSDML files are otherwise identical. Select and import the version that
corresponds to your application.
Once the IO-Device is created, the slot occupied by the PNS is fixed and cannot be altered. If the
application requires that the PNS be moved to a different slot, a new IO-Device must be created (using the
process described in this section) and the original IO-Device must be removed from the configuration.
