GE VERSAMAX PROFINET SCANNER IC200PNS002

The IC200PNS002 is a VersaMax PROFINET Scanner by GE that interfaces a remote node of VersaMax modules to a PROFINET I/O Controller. The IC200PNS002 can scan modules, recover input data, and offer output data. It can also print input data at the constructed production rate on the PROFINET network. The IC200PNS002 manages PROFINET communication and module configuration between modules within the remote node and the controller. Additionally, the scanner manages I/O states rendering to the distinct module configurations if network communications are lost.

The IC200PNS002 consumes 1.10A at 5VDC of power and supports redundant power supplies. Redundant power supplies can be installed on the IC200PNS002 without system operation interference. When installing a redundant power supply, the power source for the supply must be switched OFF. Once the redundant power supply module is installed into the vacant power supply location, power to redundant supply can be switched on and the PWR LED analyzed to confirm the appropriate power supply.

Remote I/O Units

A remote I/O Unit connects VersaMax I/O modules to a host PLC or computer via a variety of networks, which makes it easy to include VersaMax I/O in Genius, PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, or Ethernet installations. Together, the Remote I/O Unit and its modules form an I/O station capable of providing up to 256 points of I/O.

VersaMax PROFINET Scanner module interfaces a remote node of VersaMax modules to a PROFINET IO-Controller. It supports redundant power supplies. Its use of the second power supply is optional. It supports “hot swap”of a redundant power supply that is de-energized. It is a standard PROFINET alarm and diagnostics reporting. It supports configuration using classless InterDomain Routing (CIDR) with subnetting and super netting. Each network interface module can be connected to a daisy-chain/line, star, or ring (redundant media) topology. It supports media redundancy protocol (MRP) client mode operation. It can be upgraded in the field, supports firmware updates via USB port.
