October 2016
The PACSystems* RX3i Carrier IC695CEP001 interfaces
a remote node, consisting of one RX3i I/O module, to a
PROFINET I/O Local Area Network (LAN).
The optional RX3i Expansion Carrier IC694CEE001
attaches to the RX3i CEP001 Carrier and provides the
ability to add one additional RX3i IC694 I/O module to
the remote node.
The RX3i CEP001 Carrier functions as a PROFINET IO-
Device. The RX3i CEP001 Carrier’s main Remote I/O
functions include:
• Scanning all the modules within the remote node
(input and output scan)
• Publishing data on the PROFINET network to a
PROFINET IO-Controller at a user-specified
production period
• Receiving data from a PROFINET IO-Controller on
the PROFINET network at a customer-specified
production period
• Managing PROFINET communication and module
configuration between a PROFINET IO-Controller
and modules within the remote node
• Managing the state of the I/O when
communications is lost
• Publishing fault information (alarms, diagnostics,
and such) to the PROFINET IO-Controller
• Provides power to the CEE001 Expansion Carrier

The insertion and removal of I/O modules is the same as in an RX3i Universal Backplane. Refer to the
PACSystems RX3i System Manual (GFK-2314).
The RX3i CEP001 Carrier provides two RJ-45 Ethernet receptacles. It supports 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet
standard interface.

Quick Start

Carrier Installation Requirements

The CEP001 Carrier and optional Expansion Carrier CEE001
can be mounted on a DIN-rail or on a panel.
Adequate installation space is required for:
• Clearance for communications port cables.
• Power wiring.
• Operating the DIN latch.
The RX3i CEP001 Carrier with an I/O module attached requires
an enclosure with minimum depth of 165 mm.
Rated thermal specifications are based on a clearance of
5.1 cm (2”) above and below the equipment and 2.54 cm (1”) to
the left of the RX3i CEP001 Carrier.

Connecting the CEE001 Expansion Carrier to the CEP001 Carrier

 To connect the CEE001 Expansion Carrier to the CEP001 Carrier

1. Open the connector cap on the RX3i CEP001 Carrier.
2. Slide and install the RX3i CEE001 Expansion Carrier along the guide slots on the RX3i CEP001 Carrier.
3. When the Expansion Carrier is aligned with the CEP001 Carrier, engage the expansion connectors.
4. Close the connector cap.
5. Secure the Expansion Carrier to the DIN rail or panel. Refer to the sections Installing an RX3i CEP001

6 PACSystems* RX3i CEP Carrier
GFK-2884G IC695CEP001 & IC694CEE001

Installing an RX3i CEP001 Carrier on a DIN-rail

The carrier mounts on a standard EN 50022,
35 x 7.5 mm DIN-rail. Conductive (unpainted) finish is
required for proper grounding.
For best resistance to vibration, the DIN-rail should be
installed horizontally on a panel using screws spaced
approximately 15 cm (6”) apart.

 To install an RX3i CEP001 Carrier on a DIN-rail

1. With a small flathead screwdriver, pull out the two DIN-rail latches and stand the carrier on the DIN-
rail.
2. Push in the two DIN-rail latches so that the latches hold the DIN-rail.

Panel Mounting
For applications requiring maximum or long term resistance to mechanical vibration and shock, the
panel-mounting method is strongly recommended. A minimum panel thickness of 2.4 mm (.093”) is
required. The mounting diagram below applies to both the CEP001 Carrier and CEE001 Expansion Carrier.
Note 1: Tolerances on all dimensions are ±0.2 mm (0.078”) non-cumulative.
Note 2: Apply 1.1 to1.4 Nm (10 to12 in/lbs) of torque to M3.5 (#6-32) steel screws threaded into tapped
holes in the panel.

IC695CEP001 & IC694CEE001 GFK-2884G

Grounding

All CEP001 Carriers in a system must be grounded to minimize electrical shock hazard.
Failure to do so can result in severe personal injury.
Warning

The RX3i CEP001 Carrier and CEE001 Expansion Carrier each provide two grounding connection contacts:
• Grounding clips at the back of the carrier, which require DIN-rail installation
• Grounding screw hole at bottom-left of the carrier
Note: When the Carrier is mounted on a DIN-rail, the grounding clips on the back of the Carrier do not
provide an adequate ground connection. The Carrier’s metal back must also be grounded using a
separate conductor.
Ground each Carrier to the panel or enclosure using a minimum AWG #12 (3.3 mm2) wire with ring
terminals. Use an M3 screw, star lock washer and a flat washer to connect the wire at the Carrier’s
grounding hole. Connect the other end of the ground wire to a tapped hole in the grounded mounting
panel or enclosure, using a machine screw, star lock washer and flat washer. Alternately, if the panel has
a ground stud, use a nut and star lock washer for each wire on the ground stud to ensure adequate
grounding. Where connections are made to a painted panel, the paint should be removed so clean, bare
metal is exposed at the connection point. Terminals and hardware used should be rated to work with the
aluminum carrier material.
Note: The star lock washer method is suitable for a shield ground, but not suitable for a safety ground.
