What They Share, Then How They Differ

What they shareRX3i remote-I/O role

IC695PNS001 and IC695PNS101 both connect a rack-based PACSystems RX3i I/O station to a PROFINET controller. Each scanner is represented in the controller project by its network identity and by the slot and subslot arrangement of the modules installed behind it.

IC695PNS001

The standard PACSystems RX3i PROFINET Scanner. IC695PNS001 is used where the remote station does not require the PNS101 Sequence of Events role.

IC695PNS101

The Advanced PACSystems RX3i PROFINET Scanner for RX3i Sequence of Events applications. It is physically identical to the IC695PNS001-Bxxx implementation; the event-oriented function is the principal difference.

Configuration and Revision Checks

Engineering project

Use the exported PAC Machine Edition hardware configuration as the reference for the scanner and every module in the remote station.

Firmware relationship

Match controller, PNC and scanner revisions to the functions enabled in the running application; compatibility requirements change with feature level.

Serial-module support

Projects using IC695CMM002 or IC695CMM004 through IC695PNS001-Bxxx / IC695PNS101 require the documented software and firmware support.

Standard station

Choose IC695PNS001

Use the PNS001 identity when the approved remote-I/O project specifies the standard RX3i PROFINET scanner.

Event-oriented station

Choose IC695PNS101

Use the PNS101 identity when the RX3i system requires the advanced scanner role for Sequence of Events.

Practical decisions

Technical Questions

Can IC695PNS001 / IC695PNS101 be selected only from the front appearance?

No. Read the complete catalog number and confirm whether the project requires the standard RX3i scanner or the advanced scanner used for RX3i Sequence of Events.

When does an IC695PNS001 / IC695PNS101 project require an SOE review?

The review is essential when IC695PNS101 is specified because its documented role is tied to RX3i SOE. Confirm the controller project, event collection and compatible module set.

Which IC695PNS001 / IC695PNS101 network records should be captured before replacement?

Record the PROFINET device name, IP configuration, controller assignment, physical topology, slot layout, hardware revision and firmware revision.

How do IC695PNS001 / IC695PNS101 software requirements affect a spare?

The scanner revision, controller firmware, PAC Machine Edition release and GSDML definition must support the functions used by the installed project.

Can IC695PNS001 / IC695PNS101 retain an existing remote I/O layout?

Only when the configured module order and supported modules match the replacement scanner. Compare the exported hardware configuration with the physical rack before download.

What closes IC695PNS001 / IC695PNS101 commissioning?

Normal scanner diagnostics, complete I/O exchange, correct fault reporting and—where IC695PNS101 is used—the required SOE event behavior must all be demonstrated.
