  • Page 70: Profinet Operation Overview

    PROFINET Operation Overview An RX3i PNC uses PROFINET communications for data exchange. The same network can also be used for basic Ethernet communications, but use of a separate Ethernet LAN and RX3i Ethernet interface is recommended for most applications. A PROFINET network can include three types of devices: PROFINET IO- In an RX3i system, the RX3i PNC operates as an IO-Controller.
  • Page 71 Communication Relationships within an Application Relationship Within each Application Relationship, the RX3i PROFINET IO-Controller establishes the following types of Communication Relationships (CRs):  Record Data CRs – always the first to be established within an Application Relationship. Record Data Communication Relationships are used for non-real-time transfers of data records such as startup parameter data, diagnostics data, identification data, and configuration data.

  • Page 76: I/O Scanning

    I/O Scanning In the PACSystems RX3i PROFINET network, multiple I/O cycles run asynchronously and independently. The example below illustrates typical cycles in a system with an RX3i CPU with a PNC module, and VersaMax PNS modules used as IO-Devices. Cycles may be different for third- party devices.

  • Page 77: Data Coherency

    Data Coherency In a PACSystems RX3i PROFINET network, it is important to note that I/O data coherency is at the PROFINET submodule level. The RX3i PNC coherently transfers I/O data to and from the CPU on a PROFINET submodule basis. This means that output data from a single CPU output scan for multiple PROFINET submodules may not be transferred during the same PROFINET IO production cycle.

  • Page 88: Status Reporting

    Status Reporting The PNC provides 32 bits of status information to a configured location in the RX3i CPU’s reference memory. The status data consists of the Module OK bit, which indicates the health of the module itself, a status bit for each external port, and a bit that indicates the connection status of the configured devices.

  • Page 89: Fault Contacts

    Fault Contacts If the RX3i application needs to monitor the real-time status of PROFINET inputs and/or outputs, it must refer to the I/O point fault contacts associated with the remote I/O module. Point fault contacts are set if the device is missing or the IO Producer or Consumer Status (IOxS) indicate a bad data status for the corresponding IO.

  • Page 109: Redundant Media

    Chapter Redundant Media The RX3i PROFINET Controller module supports PROFINET Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP). The PROFINET Controller can be used as either a Media Redundancy Manager or Media Redundancy Client on a redundant media ring. Media Redundancy enables the network to recover from a network link or switch failure. Because it operates transparently to applications using the network, no changes to the application are needed to use media redundancy.

  • Page 110: Profinet Media Redundancy Protocol

    PROFINET Media Redundancy Protocol PROFINET Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) supports devices configured in a ring topology with a maximum of 1 Manager and 63 Clients. It is based on the functions of IEC 62439. Media Redundancy Protocol is not routable between different IP subnets. Each device within a Redundant Media network has at least two physical pathways to two other devices on the network.
  • Page 111 For bumpless network recovery (without disturbing IO communications to an IO-Device), the Update Rate for the IO-Device should be configured to be greater than 1/3 of the network recovery time. This permits the ring to be disconnected or reconnected without timing out the communication connection between the IO-Device and its IO-Controller.

  • Page 112: Ring Topology With One Controller

    Ring Topology with One Controller The diagram below illustrates a simple ring topology with one RX3i CPU Node and three IO-Devices on the same PROFINET network. In this example, the PNC module in the RX3i controller is configured to be the Media Redundancy Manager and the IO-Devices, in this case VersaMax PNS modules, are configured to be Media Redundancy Clients.

  • Page 113: Ring Topology With Multiple Controllers

    Ring Topology with Multiple Controllers The next illustration shows a more complex network. There is one RX3i CPU node with two PNC modules, a second RX3i CPU node with one PNC module, and five IO-Devices, in this case, VersaMax PNS modules. All devices are on the same network ring.

  • Page 114: Setting Up Media Redundancy Protocol

    Setting Up Media Redundancy Protocol Media Redundancy must first be set up in the hardware configuration of all devices on the LAN. Instructions for configuring Media Redundancy using PROFICY Machine Edition are located in chapter 3. Only one device on the ring can be configured as the Media Redundancy Manager. All other devices on the ring must be configured as Media Redundancy Clients.

  • Page 115: Sequence For Enabling Media Redundancy

    Sequence for Enabling Media Redundancy To avoid network loops occurring before the Media Redundancy configuration parameters are stored, the network must first be set up with the ring broken at one point. Otherwise, packets could continuously cycle on the network and use up significant network bandwidth. The ring should not be closed until the Media Redundancy configuration parameters are successfully stored to the Media Redundancy Manager and the Media Redundancy Manager is operational.
  • Page 116 2. Change the configuration for the device that is the Media Redundancy Manager so that it will no longer be the Media Redundancy Manager. If a GE Intelligent Platforms RX3i PNC is the Media Redundancy Manager, use Proficy Machine Edition to disable the Media Redundancy role on that PNC and then to download the hardware configuration.

  • Page 122: Lldp

    LLDP The PNC implements the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). A PROFINET IO-Supervisor or other network host may use LLDP to discover the PROFINET network. Overview of LLDP The Link Layer Discovery Protocol is an IEEE standardized protocol used by network devices to advertise their identity and capabilities and receive that information from physically adjacent link layer peers.
  • Page 123 LLDP TLVs The following is a brief description of the RX3i PNC LLDP TLVs. Chassis ID TLV The Chassis ID is always the first TLV in the LLDPDU. Chassis ID identifies the particular device on the network. PROFINET defines two possible Chassis ID formats; each format has a different Chassis ID subtype.
  • Page 124 PROFINET MRP Port Status TLV The PROFINET MRP Port Status indicates the current MRP status of the network port over which this LLDP message is sent. This TLV is required when the LLDP sender is an MRP port. It is not present in the LLDP packet issued from a non-MRP port.
  • Page 125 Management Address TLV The Management Address is the address associated with the local LLDP agent that may be used to reach higher layers within the device to assist with LLDP operations. Typically, this indicates how to reach the LLDP MIB. The Management Address TLV contains three fields: Management Address, Interface Number, and Object Identifier (OID).
