The IC695PNS001 PROFINET scanner module

The IC695PNS001 Scanner Module is a PROFINET scanner module designed by GE Fanuc. It is used to connect the PROFINET I/O controller to remote universal I/O racks or RX3i modules. The power requirement of the module is 3.3 Volts DC at 1.2 Amps or 5 Volts DC at 1.1 Amps. It features 4 switched Ethernet ports, 2 RJ-45 connectors, 2 SFP cages, 1 Micro-B USB 2.0 connector, and SD and SDHC cards. The IC695PNS001 Scanner Module also provides 32 input status bits and 32 output control bits as PNS status and control bits. This module comes with 8 indicator LEDs that glow in 22 patterns to provide the users with operating error messages, updates about the status of the module, and module identification.

The IC695PNS001 PROFINET Scanner Module is designed to be used with RX3i PLC CPU versions such as the CPU315, CPU320, CPE305, and CPE310 CPUs. The modules on the rack are scanned by this scanner in order to retrieve and exchange data within the PROFINET I/O LAN. It supports 1 CIDR IP address and 5 MAC addresses. The Proficy Machine Edition software version which is required for use with this IC695PNS001 module is version 8.50 SIM 2 or later. Since this module is open equipment that has user-accessible live electrical parts, it must be installed inside a suitable enclosure for safety. It must be installed in Slot 1 or Slot 2 of an RX3i universal backplane or Slot 6 of an RX3i 7-slot backplane. This module has independently operating ports that are used to attach different types of modules. It can be used to manage module configuration and PROFINET communication among the modules and I/O controllers within a remote rack.
