GE INTELLIGENT PLATFORMS EPXPNS101 RSTi-EP Slice I/O Profinet Network Adapter 2CU RJ45 Ports

The EPXPNS101 PROFINET Scanner is a PROFINET I/O device supporting S-1 PROFINET Simplex and S-2 PROFINET System redundancy. The network adapter is the head module for the RSTi-EP system bus, to which up to 64 active RSTi-EP modules can be connected. The PROFINET network adapter has two Ethernet ports, and an integrated switch.The PROFINET Scanner can be accessed with a system-independent web server application via the USB service interface or the Ethernet. Thus, all information, such as diagnostics, status values and parameters, can be read and all connected modules can be simulated or forced. The station's main power supply is integrated in the PROFINET Scanner. Power is supplied via two 4-pole connectors, separated into the input and output current paths.Caution, the RSTi-EP station is usually installed on a horizontally positioned DIN rail. Installation on vertically positioned DIN rails is also possible. However, the heat dissipation is reduced such that the derating values change (refer to the section, Thermal Derating. Modules should to be allowed to de-energize for a minimum 10 seconds after power down, prior to starting any maintenance activity. The PROFINET Scanner cannot be hot-swapped.
