Product Introduction
The GE IC200PNS002-AA is a PROFINET Scanner (PNS) module within the VersaMax series, designed to interface remote nodes of VersaMax modules with a PROFINET IO-Controller. It scans connected modules, retrieves input data, provides output data, and publishes input data on the PROFINET network at configured production rates. The PNS manages PROFINET communication and module configuration between an IO-Controller and modules within the remote node. In the event of network communication loss, the PNS manages I/O states according to individual module configurations.
