PROFINET Scanner

The EPXPNS001 PROFINET Scanner is a PROFINET I/O device certified by
the PROFINET user organization. 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.

Refer to the RSTi-EP Slice I/O User Manual (GFK-2958) for additional
information.

Refer to the RSTi-EP Power Supply Reference Guide, a software utility
available on PME V9.00, for detailed power-feed requirements.
