Working Principle
The IC695PNC001CA functions as the communication control point between the PACSystems RX3i platform and PROFINET network devices.
A simplified communication path is:
RX3i CPU → PROFINET Controller Module → Industrial Ethernet Network → PROFINET Devices
During operation, the module manages data exchange between the PLC system and connected PROFINET equipment. It handles communication tasks such as device connection management, process data exchange, and network communication coordination.
The RX3i CPU executes the automation program, while the PROFINET Controller Module provides the communication channel required for exchanging information with distributed devices.
This architecture allows field devices and remote I/O stations to be integrated into a centralized PLC control system.
