2.1.6 Embedded PROFINET Controller

The following CPUs support a feature that permits an Ethernet LAN to be configured for use as a
PROFINET Controller:
•
11
RX3i CPE400
•
12
Rx3i CPE330
•
RSTi-EP CPE100/CPE115
If the Embedded PROFINET Controller feature is to be configured, it must be configured on LAN2 for the
CPUs listed above. In the case of RX3i CPE400 and RSTi-EP CPE100/CPE115, which are Standalone CPU's,
this will be its only PROFINET Controller. In the case of CPE330, the Embedded PROFINET Controller can
co-exist with any rack-mounted PROFINET Controllers (IC695PNC001) present in its CPU rack.
To enable the Embedded PROFINET Controller in a project in Proficy Machine Edition
CPE400 (or CPE330) or RSTi-EP CPE100/CPE115 target in the PME Navigator (Figure 1) and open the
Hardware Configuration. On the Settings tab, change the designated LAN Mode of the selected port to
PROFINET. The PROFINET Controller node description then displays that a PROFINET node exists on the
selected LAN.
For further details, refer to the PACSystems RX3i & RSTi-EP PROFINET IO-Controller User Manual,
GFK-2571G or later.
A PROFINET configuration may be transferred between a PROFINET Controller module (IC695PNC001)
and the target Embedded PROFINET IO-Controller using the cut / copy / paste or equivalent drag and
drop functions in Proficy Machine Edition.
Note: If the PME Project has PROFINET redundant devices, you must record any unique Secondary
Target information and disable Redundancy before cut / copy / paste functions on PROFINET
Controller modules will work. Then, re-enable Redundancy, mirror, and restore your unique
Secondary Target information.
11
CPE400 firmware version 9.00 or later is required for the embedded PROFINET Controller feature.
12
CPE330 firmware version 8.90 or later is required for the embedded PROFINET Controller feature.
13
Proficy Machine Edition™ (PME) 9.50 SIM 4 or later is required in order to configure the MRP parameters for CPE100/CPE115.
14
Proficy Machine Edition Logic Developer PLC 8.60 SIM 13 or 9.00 SIM 4 or later is required for configuration of the Embedded
PROFINET Controller function.
