Adding A Rx3I Cep To A Lan; Configuring A Rx3I Cep - GE PACSystems RX3i User Manual

4.2 Adding a RX3i CEP to a LAN

Use the PROFINET I/O configuration tool to add RX3i CEP Carriers to the LAN. This process may include
importing the RX3i CEP Carriers' GSDML file. If necessary for your application, change the settings of the RX3i
CEP Carriers' configurable parameters listed below.

Configuring a RX3i CEP

All configurations are applied on the RX3i CEP Carrier. The RX3i CEP Expansion Carrier has neither IO data nor
configuration parameters.
Input and Output Status Data
The RX3i CEP Carrier has 32-bits of Status data and 32-bits of Control (Output Status) data. These should be
mapped to the IO-Controller's memory. For definitions of these bits, refer to Chapter 5, the section, RX3i CEP
Status and Control Data.
IO-Device Access Point
The IO-Controller determines the state of the inputs when the RX3i CEP Carrier is unable to provide them. This
could happen when the RX3i CEP Carrier is not powered on, connected to the network, or there is a network or
configuration issue such that the IO-Controller cannot communicate with the RX3i CEP Carrier. GE Automation
& Controls' IO-Controllers support defaulting inputs to Force Off or Hold Last State values until communication
is restored.
Module Parameters
The RX3i CEP Carrier has two parameters on slot 0, subslot 1 that specify Fatal Error Action and the Power
Supply type.
The Fatal Error Action parameter determines the action the RX3i CEP Carrier will take in case a fatal error
occurs. By default, the RX3i CEP Carrier LEDs will blink a fault code if a fatal error occurs. This parameter can be
changed to cause the RX3i CEP to restart instead.
The Power Supply parameter determines whether RX3i CEP Carrier expects redundant +24Vdc power input. By
default, the RX3i CEP Carrier monitors both power inputs and reports a fault if one of them is not good. This
parameter can be changed to single power input instead.
