† In addition to the PNC001, beginning with version 8.90, the CPE330 CPUis capable of controlling a GCG001 on a PROFINET network. No other PROFINET controllers are supported. PACSystems RX3i Genius Communications Gateway Quick Start Guide GFK-2891C...
Each port on the GCG001 operates independently through an embedded Ethernet switch. The switch permits the network to be daisy-chained through the GCG001 to other I/O devices. 1.2. Genius Serial Bus Connector The GCG module is equipped with one active six- terminal Genius Serial Bus connector.
If the GCG001 must be replaced in the event of a failure, remove the SD card from the failed unit and install it in the replacement prior to mounting. All PROFINET configuration data will then be transferred to the replacement module.
Loading New Firmware To load new GCG001 firmware, the SD card must be moved to a computer. Copy the firmware image to the card, then re-insert the card into the unpowered GCG001’s SD slot.

A fault or other PROFINET diagnostic data exists on Red, ON the Gateway CONNECT — indicates a connection to a PROFINET controller. One or more connections with GE’s Automation & Controls PROFINET Controllers have been established to this device. Device trying to connect to a controller.
As the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipment. GE’s Automation & Controls will fully cooperate with you, however, should such action be necessary.
LOCATIONS, DO NOT USE UNLESS AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS. ATEX Zone 2 The GCG001 must be mounted in an enclosure certified in accordance with EN60079-15 for use in Zone 2, Group IIC and rated IP54. The enclosure shall only be able to be opened with the use of a tool.
Backplane Mounting The two captive M3.5 screws at the rear of the GCG001 align with mating tapped holes on the right side of the Universal Backplane (above and below the expansion connector), providing a convenient mounting location.

Grounding The GCG001 module provides a grounding connection on the power plug. The panel in which the GCG001 module or RX3i Universal Backplane is mounted to must have a safety ground connection to protective earth. This ground wire must be at least 1.5 mm AWG).
GCG001. 3.2. Basic Configuration Steps The full configuration of the GCG001 is beyond the scope of this Guide, but is covered in detail in the User Manual, GFK-2892, referenced in section 4. In brief, the steps are the following: If you haven’t already done so, use Machine Edition to add a PROFINET IO-Controller...
