GE IC200PNS002 VersaMax PROFINET Scanner Module

Description

The VersaMax PROFINET Scanner (PNS) module interfaces a remote node of VersaMax modules to a PROFINET IO-Controller. The PROFINET Scanner scans the modules in its node, retrieving input data and providing output data, and publishes input data on the PROFINET Network at the configured production rate. The PNS manages PROFINET communication and module configuration between an IO-Controller and modules within the remote node. If network communications are lost, the PNS manages I/O states according to the individual module configurations.

Features

• Supports redundant power supplies. Use of the second power supply is optional.
• Supports “hot swap” of a redundant power supply that is de-energized.
• Standard PROFINET alarm and diagnostics reporting.
• Supports configuration using Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) with subnetting and supernetting.
• Each network interface module can be connected into a daisy-chain/line, star, or ring (redundant media) topology.
• Supports Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) client mode operation.
• Can be upgraded in the field; supports firmware updates via USB port.
• Provides Maintenance Mode to allow servicing of the remote node while maintaining network connections. (Requires firmware version 1.10 or later.)
