One RX3i CPU with Four Controllers on Separate Networks
Figure 11 shows a system with one RX3i CPU node containing the maximum of four RX3i PROFINET
Controllers, with each PROFINET Controller connected to a different network. In this architecture, up to 255 IO-
Devices are allowed, spread across the four networks. Up to 128 IO-Devices can be controlled by any given
PROFINET Controller.
Note that multiple PNC001 modules in the same rack are not synchronized; that is, no two PNC001 modules
are guaranteed to power up at the same time. PNC001 configuration differences (SFPs, etc.) can also cause
variations in PNC001 power-up times.
If two (or more) PNC001 modules are in a main rack and devices owned by one PNC001 are routed through the
switch on a different PNC001 in the same rack, devices may show a Loss of Device fault followed by an Addition
of Device fault during RX3i power-up because the first PNC001 can power up before the second PNC001 has
enabled its Ethernet switch, causing the Loss of Device. Then when the second PNC001 powers up, the device
will show an Addition of Device fault, which is to be expected under these circumstances. Devices will function
normally once added.
