IC200PNS001-AC, IC200PNS002-AC
GFK-2574C PROFINET Scanner Modules
December 2017
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.
The PNS is available in two versions to allow you to use the network media that meet the requirements of your
application.

is not intended for permanent connection

The PNS module’s main Remote IO functions include:

• Scanning all the modules within its stick (input and output scan).
• Publishing data onto the PROFINET network to an IO-Controller at a customer-specified production period.
• Receive data from an IO-Controller on the PROFINET network at a customer-specified production period.
• Managing PROFINET communication and module configuration between an IO-Controller and modules within the
PNS node.
• Managing the state of the I/O when communications is lost
• Publishing fault information (alarms, diagnostics, etc.) to IO-Controller

Installing the Module on a DIN Rail
The PROFINET Scanner and connecting carriers must be installed on the same section of
35mm x 7.5mm DIN rail. The rail must have a conductive (unpainted) finish for proper
grounding. For best resistance to vibration, the DIN rail should be installed on a panel using
screws spaced approximately 6 inches (5.24cm) apart.
Modules snap easily onto the DIN rail. No tools are required for mounting or grounding to
the rail.

Removing the Module from the DIN Rail

1. If the module is attached to the panel with a screw, remove the screw.
2. Slide the module along the DIN rail away from the other modules until the connector disengages.
3. With a small flathead screwdriver, pull the DIN rail latch tab outward while tilting the other end of the module down to
disengage it from the DIN rail.

Panel-Mounting
For applications requiring maximum resistance to mechanical vibration and shock, the PROFINET scanner must be panel-
mounted.
Note 1. Tolerances on all dimensions are +/- 0.13mm (0.005in) non-cumulative.
Note 2. 1-1.4Nm (10-12 in/lbs) of torque should be applied to M3.5 (#6-32) steel screw threaded into material containing
internal threads and having a minimum thickness of 2.4mm (.093in).

Grounding
The VersaMax PROFINET Scanner must have a separate shield ground connection to provide shielding for its two ports.
Attach a wire with a stab-on connector to the grounding terminal on the bottom of the module. Connect a ring terminal on
the other end of the wire to a grounded enclosure. Where the ring terminal contacts a painted enclosure panel, either install
a star lock washer between the terminal and the panel to cut through the paint, or scrape the paint away down to clean,
bare metal to ensure a good contact. Note: The star lock washer method is suitable for a shield ground, but not suitable for
a safety ground.

GFK-2574C
Installing Power Supplies
Note: If only one power supply is used, an IC200ACC200 Empty Filler module may be installed in the empty power
supply slot.
The latch on the power supply must be in the unlocked position, as illustrated. Power
supplies can be installed in either or both locations on the PROFINET Scanner.

Align the connectors and the latch post and press the power supply module down
firmly, until the two tabs on the bottom of the power supply click into place. Be sure
the tabs are fully inserted in the slots.

Turn the latch to the locked position to secure the power supply.

To remove a Power Supply module from the PROFINET Scanner, source power into the power supply module must be
turned off. The lever must be rotated to the unlocked position before detaching the Power Supply module.

Installing a Redundant Power Supply

A redundant power supply can be installed on the PROFINET Scanner without disrupting system operation:
1. Turn off the source power to the power supply that will be installed.
2. Without disturbing the operating power supply module, install the redundant power supply module in the PROFINET
Scanner’s empty power supply location.
3. Turn on the power source to the redundant supply, and check the PWR LED on the PROFINET Scanner to be sure it
is supplying power.
Complete the power supply wiring as described in the installation instructions provided with the power supply.
Note: Isolated power supplies should not be mixed with non-isolated power supplies. If an isolated power supply is
applied to a power slot on PNS or a booster carrier, all power supplies in that stick should be isolated power
supplies.
There is no restriction on mixing non-isolated AC with non-isolated DC power supplies on either the PNS or a
booster.

Swapping a Redundant Power Supply

If two power supplies are installed on the PROFINET Scanner and the power sources to both can be turned off
independently, either one can be removed or replaced without disrupting system operation.
1. Check the PWR LEDs on the PROFINET Scanner to be sure that the module that is not being removed is currently
supplying power.
2. Turn off the power source of the power supply module that will be removed.
3. Wait until the PWR LED for the module that is being removed goes off.
4. Remove the power supply as described above.
Do not attempt to do this if there is only one power supply, or if there are two power supplies with the same power source,
requiring both to be powered down. Otherwise, the PROFINET Scanner may lose power and reboot.

Problems Resolved in this Release
Issue Resolved Description
PNS does not generate an alarm when MRP When the MRP domain name of a PNS does not match with its
domain name is mismatched neighbor PNS, the PNS does not report an alarm.
With release 2.00, the PNS generates a peer MRP domain
mismatch alarm.

New Features and Enhancements

New Feature Description
Hot-Standby CPU Redundancy using VersaMax PNS 2.00 supports S-Type IO Device functionality
PROFINET I/O in a PROFINET System Redundancy system. This device
type has one NAP (network access point), and behaves as
one IO-Device: one station name and one IP address.
PACSystems Hot Standby CPUs with PROFINET System
Redundancy can survive any single point of failure in the
control system without interruption of application control.
GSDML version 2.3 for the VersaMax PNS must be used
with VersaMax Release 2.00.

Restrictions and Open Issues

Issue Description
Hold Last State default input value is not Other VersaMax NIU modules allow the user to configure an input
supported on a per-module basis default value on a per module basis that is used if communication
with the module is lost. PROFINET does not provide an equivalent
mechanism within an IO-Device such as the PNS. If a module is
lost, it is marked bad and the IO-Controller decides the action of the
input.
Inconsistent Hold Last State values or System When hot swapping an I/O module, it must be removed by pulling
Mismatch errors when hot swapping modules straight out from the carrier and installed by pressing straight into
the carrier. Failing to do this correctly may cause error conditions or
inaccurate data.
For example, if an input module that is configured for Hold Last
State is removed so that the pins on the left side of the module (as
viewed from the top) are pulled out first, the data read may be
erroneously read as zeros.
Likewise, if an analog module with jumper settings for Default is
inserted with the pins on the left side of the module going in last, the
PNS may recognize it as Hold Last State and generate a System
Mismatch error when the module is fully inserted.
PNS reset causes loss of previously If an ALG230 or ALG260 (version D or later) module is located to
configured ALG260 and ALG230 Analog Input the right of a Power Supply Booster and configured by the PNS,
modules that are located after Power Supply when the PNS is power cycled or reset while the Booster power is
Booster maintained, the module will be lost and a Loss of I/O Module fault
will be logged in the I/O Fault Table.
This problem does not happen if the Power Supply Booster is power
cycled. If the ALG230/ALG260 has not been configured, power
cycling the PNS does not prevent the configuration of the analog
module.

GFK-2574C
Issue Description
IC200CMM020 generates Receive Overrun In systems with an IC200CMM020 configured to operate at 19.2K
errors at 19.2K Baud Baud, long messages may cause the IC200CMM020 to drop
received characters and log a 0x0304 - Receive Overrun error. This
is a rarely occurring problem, most likely to be seen in systems with
only one or a few modules in the PNS stick.
The recommended response to a 0x0304 error is to retry the
Modbus command.
PNS rejects setting its subnet mask & The PNS does not support a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0. When a
gateway to 0.0.0.0 hardware configuration with LAN subnet mask address set to 0.0.0.0
is downloaded to the RX3i system, the PNS will fail to connect to the
PNC.
Loss of power to PNS causes multiple fault When the PNS experiences a simultaneous loss of main and field
messages power, the I/O Fault table may include multiple Loss of I/O Module
and Channel Diagnosis Power Supply faults in addition to the Loss
of Device fault.
After power cycling the PNS, several times, an When using an IC200CMM020 in a PNS device, power cycling the
RTU Preset command to a CMM020 might fail PNS several times, then sending a Modbus RTU Preset command
to the CMM020 might cause the CMM020 to fail and return a
0x0205 RTU response timeout error.
To recover from this error, retry the Modbus command.
An intelligent module might not be recognized When an intelligent module is powered up within a brief
by the RX3i PNC if powered up within a interval after the AR connection is established between the
specific interval RX3i PNC and PNS, the PNC might not recognize the
addition of this module. When happens, an Unexpected
PROFINET alarm fault is logged in the IO Fault table,
followed by a Loss of I/O module to indicate this module is
not recognized. This is a rarely occurring problem, most likely
seen when working with the IC200BEM003 module.
To recover from this state, one of the following methods can
be used:
1. Reset the intelligent module (pull and plug the module,
or power cycle the power booster when the module is
powered by a power booster).
2. Put the PNS into maintenance mode, then exit to
normal mode.
3. Pull the Ethernet cable on the PNS, then plug the cable
back in.
4. Power cycle the PNS unit.
VersaMax PNS sometimes fails to report Loss On some occasions upon losing power to a VersaMax
of Submodule for modules to the right of booster power supply, Loss of Submodule faults might not be
powered-down booster supply logged for one or more IC200MDL329 modules located to the
right of a VersaMax booster supply in a VersaMax PNS
Remote IO rack if the AR connection between the IO
Controller and the VersaMax PNS is lost simultaneously.
Failure to report the Loss of Submodule faults is more likely if
the AR connection is intermittently established and
terminated after the booster power supply is powered off.
To recover from this condition, power cycle the
VersaMax PNS.

modules to enter a 4:5 blink trap with no Loss of Submodule
fault reported. The affected IO module displays the blink
code.

the VersaMax Remote IO rack.
To recover from this condition, power cycle the VersaMax IO
rack, or pull the IO module and plug it back in.

Operational Notes
Note Description
Ethernet port operation The PROFINET Scanner requires at least one network to be
operating at full duplex for a connection to remain established. The
PROFINET protocol may be sent and received over either or both of
the two external ports.
Devices connected to the PROFINET Scanner ports should have
Ethernet Autonegotiation enabled unless the IO-Controller supports
configuring the port operation mode. If the IO-Controller configures
the PROFINET Scanner port to a specific setting with
autonegotiation disabled, the device connected to the PROFINET
Scanner must be configured for exactly the same setting.
Analog Modules latch outputs in Hold Last VersaMax Analog modules latch their last outputs when configured
State for Hold Last State and hold that value as long as Field Power
remains on the module.
In contrast, VersaMax Discrete modules transition to module defaults
of zero even when Hold Last State is configured when they lose
connection to the head-end module.
12 PROFINET Scanner Modules
GFK-2574C
Note Description
Configured output defaults active until first Output modules on a PNS power up into module defaults, which are
good data typically zero. When a configuration is stored on the first connection,
outputs transition to the configured defaults, which may be zero, non-
zero, or Hold Last State. Outputs remain at the configured defaults
until output data is received from the IO-Controller.
For example, if a discrete module is configured for a default value of
1 and there is a current value of 0 in the CPU, on power up, the
output will be zero, then transition to 1 and then return to 0 once the
output data is received.
USB port drivers When connecting the USB cable to the PROFINET Scanner, you
may receive a warning for installing a driver that has not passed
Windows Logo testing.
Each PROFINET Scanner is recognized as a separate Windows
device with separate installation as each has a unique serial number.
This is normal operation for this release.
Network parameters for IO-Devices If the network parameters (IP Address, subnet mask, and gateway
IP) assigned by the DCP tool are different from the configuration in
the IO-Controller and the IO-Controller is configured to assign IP
settings to devices, when the IO Controller assigns its IP settings, the
settings previously stored from the DCP tool are lost. On a reset, the
IO-Device is set to factory default values (0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0) as
prescribed by the PROFINET specification.
Communications Carrier does not support Modules that use the Communications Carrier, IC200CHS006, do
hot swap not support hot swap.
No Extra Module Alarms The PROFINET Scanner ignores all extra equipment. There are no
Extra I/O Module faults or Loss of I/O Module faults generated for
unconfigured modules.
Module Jumpers latched Jumper settings on Analog modules for selection of Default/Hold-
Last-State on outputs or operational mode (Unipolar/Bipolar voltage,
0-20mA/4-20mA) are read when the module is initialized by the
head-end and latched. In order to adjust a jumper setting, the I/O
module must be power cycled.
Diagnosis Disappears alarms may be out of For Intelligent Modules
sequence with Diagnosis Appears alarms (IC200ALG240/ALG331/ALG620/ALG630/MDD841), Diagnosis
Disappears alarms are generated by a polling process, which may be
slower than Appears messages.
Example: When re-applying field power, new channel alarms such as
Hi/Low alarms may occur before the Loss of Field Power alarm
clears.
Isolated power supplies should not be If an isolated power supply is applied to a power slot on PNS or a
mixed with non-isolated power supplies booster carrier, all power supplies in that stick should be isolated
power supplies.
There is no restriction on mixing non-isolated AC with non-
isolated DC power supplies on either the PNS or a booster.
