Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this user manual
This user manual is intended to familiarize you with how the redundant control system,
which consists of two RFC 460R PN 3TX Remote Field Controllers connected via fiber optic
synchronization connection, works and how the RFC 460R PN 3TX Remote Field
Controller works, its operating and connection elements, and its integration into the
PC Worx software.
This information will also guide you through the startup and operation of the redundant
control system and the RFC 460R PN 3TX Remote Field Controller.
1.2 Hardware and software requirements
– 2 x RFC 460R PN 3TX Remote Field Controller

– 2 x 256 MB or higher parameterization memory (CF card)
The parameterization memory is not supplied as standard with the RFC 460R PN 3TX.
Only use CompactFlash cards from Phoenix Contact that are intended for use with the
RFC 460R PN 3TX. For the ordering data, please refer to Section “Accessories” on
page 136.
– 2 x Small form factor plug-in module (SFP module), a plug-in I/O module for fiber
optics that is used in Gigabit Ethernet. For transmission lengths up to 80 km.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
1.3 Increased safety precautions
If errors that occur in machines and/or systems could cause personal injury or damage to
property, the manufacturers and operators (of these machines/systems) are responsible for
developing a suitable safety concept for your machine and/or system while adhering to all
applicable standards, directives, and laws.
In particular, the risk arising from the machine and/or system when using electronic
controllers, which are also responsible for safety in the machine and/or system, determines
whether additional measures are required in order to prevent and/or control errors that
occur.
If this is the case, for example, because safety functions with requirements from safety
standards are to be implemented, which exceed the scope of the application of the device
described in this user manual, then manufacturers and operators of the machine and/or
system must implement the additional required measures through the use of safety-related
controllers (e.g., RFC 470S PN 3TX).

The redundant control system
2 The redundant control system
2.1 General description of the redundant control

system
The redundant control system from Phoenix Contact with the RFC 460R PN 3TX Remote
Field Controller enables you to provide maximum availability throughout your system – from
the I/O level to the control level. This is vital for uninterrupted processes in complex systems
and large plants. Using the redundant control system, you can ensure the continuous
operation of your automation.
Features – Easy startup and automatic configuration of all redundancy functions

– Up to 80 km distance between the Remote Field Controllers via fiber optic
synchronization connection using SFP modules (small form factor plug-in modules)
– Uninterrupted process – even in the event of failure or when a Remote Field Controller
is replaced
– Display for displaying status and error messages in plain text
– Redundancy for your Ethernet network, thanks to device integration using the
PROFINET standard
– Uninterrupted visualization, thanks to redundancy-capable OPC servers
Figure 2-1 Redundant control system for distances up to 80 km
Structure The RFC 460R PN 3TX Remote Field Controller is a high-performance controller that has
been extended to offer redundancy functionality. The redundant control system consists of
two synchronized RFC 460R PN 3TX controllers connected via fiber optics. The built-in
fiber optic interface is used for synchronization and adjustment between the connected
devices.
The fiber optic synchronization connection is a direct point-to-point connection between

both Remote Field Controllers of the redundant control system.
Depending on the distance between the Remote Field Controllers, three plug-in SFP
modules (small form factor plug-in modules) are available to connect the fiber optics. You
can therefore cover distances of 550 m, 30 km or up to 80 km.
Function You program just one Remote Field Controller as usual, while the second is started up
automatically. If one Remote Field Controller fails, the other takes over immediately
ensuring smooth operation.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
The Remote Field Controllers automatically establish a high-performance connection for

exchanging configuration data and project information. Both Remote Field Controllers
automatically configure and synchronize all the redundancy functions.
Before each cycle, the Remote Field Controller controlling the process (PRIMARY
redundancy role) transmits the data that is to be synchronized to the Remote Field
Controller that is in HotStandBy mode (BACKUP redundancy role).
Configuration/ In PC Worx, only one RFC 460R PN 3TX is visible in the project. Once the project has been
programming/ compiled and downloaded to the Remote Field Controllers, both connected devices are
visualization/ synchronized via fiber optics using the synchronization connection, whereby the
redundancy type/role downloaded project is transmitted to the connected Remote Field Controllers. In order to
ensure that this occurs, during initial startup redundancy type FIRST must be assigned to
one of the Remote Field Controllers and redundancy type SECOND to the other. The
redundancy type does not change during operation. The redundancy role of the Remote
Field Controller (PRIMARY/BACKUP) may change depending on the status of the
redundant control system. The redundancy role determines which of the two Remote Field
Controllers controls the process.
The OPC server required for visualization supports redundancy, i.e., it automatically detects
when a switch-over has taken place. Immediately after switch-over of the redundancy role,
the OPC server supplies the data from the Remote Field Controller that has taken over the
process to the visualization software.
Redundant control system Figure 2-2 shows an example of a redundant control system consisting of two
RFC 460R PN 3TX Remote Field Controllers connected via a synchronization connection.

Figure 2-2 Redundant control system
Please note that the PROFINET network, which is at a lower level than the redundant
control system, should be designed according to the requirements of the application.
The network topologies listed below should be viewed as examples.
Figure 2-4 on page 14 shows an example of a redundant (higher-level) control system

consisting of two RFC 460R PN 3TX devices. This redundantly connected control system
for synchronization via fiber optics has a lower-level PROFINET network which has been
designed redundantly, e.g., using the Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP). The PROFINET
devices (in the example: class 100 Inline controller and Inline bus coupler, both with
PROFINET device function) are connected to the infrastructure components of the network
(Smart Managed Compact Switches (SMCS) from Phoenix Contact).

Above the redundant control system, a PC can be connected directly to the Ethernet
interfaces of the Remote Field Controllers via an Ethernet connection. This connection can
also be used for program creation and program download, as well as visualization via OPC
server.
The higher-level PC always accesses the Remote Field Controller that controls the process
(PRIMARY) via the PC Worx software.
Figure 2-4 on page 14 shows a general PROFINET network structure.

The PC used for programming and visualization with PC Worx/OPC configurator is
connected to the LAN1.1 interfaces of the Remote Field Controllers. Alternatively, the PC
can also use infrastructure components to access the LAN2 Ethernet interface of the
Remote Field Controllers (see Figure 2-5 on page 15).
The examples below illustrate the special features of using the various different network
protocols.
– Extended ring redundancy protocol (extended ring redundancy), page 16
– RSTP – Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol with fast ring detection, page 18
– MRP – Media Redundancy Protocol, page 20
Switch-over times/monitoring times

Depending on the relevant example, there are different maximum switch-over times in the
implemented ring.
Please note that when setting update times for inputs and outputs and the number of faulty
telegrams for PROFINET devices in PC Worx, monitoring times must be greater than the
maximum switch-over time.
Enter these values under “Device Details” in the “PROFINET Settings” tab of the relevant
PROFINET device (see Figure 2-3).

RFC 460R PN 3TX
2.2 System states
For information on the redundancy states of the redundant control system, please refer to
Section “Status information” on page 37.
2.3 System behavior
The BACKUP Remote Field Controller is synchronized by the Remote Field Controller that
controls the process (PRIMARY) after the project has been fully compiled in PC Worx and
downloaded to the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller. During synchronization, the boot
project is transferred from the PRIMARY to the BACKUP Remote Field Controller and
processed accordingly.
In this case, the boot project must always be downloaded consistently to the actual project
on the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller.
The Basic Sync state is not achieved during the synchronization phase on Remote Field
Controller startup, even though the connection between the LAN2 interfaces of the Remote
Field Controllers is working perfectly, if the fiber optic synchronization connection is
interrupted during this period. This system behavior is due to the fact that configuration data
may only be transmitted via the fiber optic synchronization connection.
If the synchronization connection (SYNC) is not connected, the Remote Field Controller can
also be operated in single mode. The redundancy type for the Remote Field Controller
should be set to NOT DEFINED. During operation, the Remote Field Controller assumes
the NOT DEFINED redundancy role.
If the fiber optic synchronization connection is interrupted during runtime, the redundant
control system is synchronized via the LAN2 interface as long as an active connection exists
between the Remote Field Controllers via this interface. In this case, the redundancy roles
of the Remote Field Controllers are not switched over. If synchronization is also impossible
via LAN2, the redundancy role of the BACKUP Remote Field Controller is switched over to
PRIMARY. The previous PRIMARY Remote Field Controller remains set to PRIMARY
because without the synchronization connection it is not possible to determine whether the
previous BACKUP Remote Field Controller has been set to PRIMARY. The PRIMARY
Remote Field Controller with the FIRST redundancy type takes over the function of the
PROFINET controller that controls the process.
If the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller is set to the STOP state by PC Worx (CONTROL:
STOP), this does not switch over the redundancy role. In this case, the BACKUP Remote
Field Controller is also set to the STOP state (CONTROL: STOP). Setting the mode selector
switch to the STOP position has the same effect (see Section “Mode selector switch” on
page 51).
When the parameterization memory of the BACKUP Remote Field Controller is removed
during runtime, the redundant control system switches to the FollowUp Sync state. When
the parameterization memory is inserted, the system remains in this state. Only after a
successful restart of the BACKUP Remote Field Controller can the redundant control
system switch back to HotStandBy state (SYNC/HSBY) in the event of error-free operation.
When the parameterization memory of the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller is removed
during runtime, the redundancy roles of both Remote Field Controllers are switched over.
The BACKUP Remote Field Controller becomes the new PRIMARY and takes over process
control. When the parameterization memory is removed, the redundant control system

switches to the FollowUp Sync state. When the parameterization memory is inserted, the
system remains in this state. Only after a successful restart of the current BACKUP Remote
Field Controller can the redundant control system switch back to HotStandBy state
(SYNC/HSBY) in the event of error-free operation. In the event of error-free operation, both
Remote Field Controllers keep the redundancy roles that they were switched to when the
parameterization memory was removed.
The redundant control system permits the use of one user task. Either the default task or a
cyclic task can be selected in PC Worx. If a cyclic task is used, please note that the cycle
time must be selected so that synchronization can be performed in addition to the task
runtime. If the default task is used, this is not necessary. This means that processing may
be faster when using the default task, however processing is equidistant when using a cyclic
task.
Users cannot access the BACKUP Remote Field Controller because PC Worx and the OPC
server only communicate with the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller. Therefore the state
of the BACKUP Remote Field Controller can be mapped using the corresponding system
variables, which are mirrored to the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller and can be read in
PC Worx (see “REMOTE_...” variables in Section “Redundancy-specific system variables
of the Remote Field Controller” on page 128). These variables are only updated by the
BACKUP Remote Field Controller.
The Remote Field Controller supports the “Download Changes” function. This function can
be used to send project modifications to the Remote Field Controllers and activate them
there without having to stop the active PLC. Once PC Worx has sent the entire project to the
PRIMARY Remote Field Controller, it then transmits the project to the BACKUP Remote
Field Controller. Users are not aware of this action as the redundant control system remains
available throughout.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
2.4 Notes on operating the redundant control system
2.4.1 Switch-over conditions
The redundancy role that determines which of the two Remote Field Controllers controls the
process (PRIMARY or BACKUP) may change depending on the status of the redundant
control system. The conditions listed below can lead to the switch-over of the redundancy
role. They are displayed in the Diag+ software.

2.4.2 Operation with only one Remote Field Controller
A redundancy system can be operated with only one Remote Field Controller. The
redundancy type for the Remote Field Controller should be set to NOT DEFINED.
Figure 2-9 Redundancy type for the Remote Field Controller: NOT DEFINED
This enables the operation of applications with only one Remote Field Controller, but
without redundancy properties. In this case, the Remote Field Controller assumes the NOT
DEFINED redundancy role.
Use this setting, for example, during initial startup of a project or for debugging.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
2.4.3 Behavior of the redundant control system when the

synchronization connection is interrupted
If the fiber optic synchronization connection is interrupted during error-free operation, the
system continues running without interruption. Synchronization is then carried out via the
LAN2 PROFINET controller interface. The redundancy status does not change, and the
redundancy roles of the Remote Field Controllers remain the same.
The interruption is indicated by the PL and LL LEDs in the redundancy status area:
Figure 2-10 Fiber optic synchronization connection interrupted
Meaning of the LEDs (see also Section “Diagnostic indicators” on page 39):
PL = Physical Link (physical link to the SYNC interface)
LL = Logical Link (connection monitoring active at the SYNC interface)
If the system continues running without errors while there is an interrupted fiber optic
synchronization connection, the system is synchronized again using this connection once
the interruption to the fiber optic synchronization connection has been removed. The green
PL and LL LEDs indicate that the connection has been established successfully.

Description of the RFC 460R PN 3TX Remote Field Controller
3 Description of the RFC 460R PN 3TX Remote Field

Controller
3.1 General description of the Remote Field Controller
The Remote Field Controller is a high-performance controller with integrated Ethernet

connection. When using the Ethernet connection, the PROFINET protocol can be used. The
I/O level is connected to the Remote Field Controller via PROFINET. Connection options for
Ethernet are available for networking with higher-level systems, such as the control level or
operating level.
When it comes to distributed, modular automation, Remote Field Controllers (RFCs) with
IEC 61131 control intelligence and network connection are the ideal solution. As compact
DIN-rail mountable controllers, Remote Field Controllers provide networked, PC-based
control performance locally on the DIN rail.
IEC 61131 control For all Remote Field Controllers configuration and programming is carried out consistently
performance (Ethernet) under IEC 61131 using PC Worx automation software. PC Worx can be operated via the
network (Ethernet). The powerful processor can be programmed in all five IEC 61131
programming languages and ensures quick control task processing.
SYNC interface The SYNC interface supports the connection of the Remote Field Controller to a second
Remote Field Controller via fiber optics. This connection is used to synchronize the two
devices. Various SFP modules, which can be inserted in the corresponding device slot, are
available to cover the connection distances between the Remote Field Controllers of the
redundant control system, which vary according to the application. For the ordering data for
these modules, please refer to Section “Accessories” on page 136.
Integrated Ethernet The integrated Ethernet connections provide Ethernet connectivity. Throughout the
connection/PROFINET network, the Remote Field Controller can be accessed via Ethernet and TCP/IP or UDP/IP.
In addition, the Remote Field Controller can be integrated into a PROFINET system using
the Ethernet connections. Via interface LAN2, the Remote Field Controller operates in a
PROFINET system as a PROFINET controller.
At present, the device supports the Phoenix Redundancy Layer (PRL). The connection of
redundant devices from other manufacturers is not possible at present.
Time synchronization is also possible via the Ethernet network.
When using the AX OPC server provided in the AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite,
Remote Field Controller data is available in the Ethernet network in a standardized format
and can be used for the different visualization packages.
USB interfaces The USB interfaces are used to update the device firmware (see Section “Updating the
device firmware” on page 103).
Internal battery The Remote Field Controller has a maintenance-free battery for buffering the internal
realtime clock. Under some circumstances the battery may be flat. In this case, connect the
Remote Field Controller to the 24 V DC supply voltage for approximately 48 hours to
recharge the battery.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
Parameterization memory In order to operate, the RFC 460R PN 3TX requires a (plug-in) parameterization memory in
(CF card) the form of a CompactFlash card (see Figure 3-1 on page 29: item 3).
The parameterization memory is not supplied as standard with the RFC 460R PN 3TX.
Only use CompactFlash cards from Phoenix Contact that are intended for use with the
page 136.
The parameterization memory can be used to save programs and configurations, which
belong to your project, e.g., the visualization project and the PROFINET device name. The
IP addresses assigned to the Remote Field Controller and the assigned redundancy type
(FIRST/SECOND) are also stored on the parameterization memory. The data is retained in
the parameterization memory, even if the CompactFlash card is removed from the Remote
Field Controller.
Indication elements Diagnostic information can be displayed directly on the RFC 460R PN 3TX via the
(LCD/LEDs) diagnostic indicators (LCD and LEDs) without additional software.
The following status information is displayed:
– Control program (CONTROL)
– Redundancy (REDUNDANCY)
– PROFINET (PROFINET CONTROL)
– Ethernet connection (LEDs)

3.3 Fan module
The Remote Field Controller can be operated at ambient temperatures of 0°C to 45°C
without a fan module.
NOTE:
If the Remote Field Controller is operated at ambient temperatures higher than 45°C, the
fan module is required. The maximum permissible temperature for operation with a fan is
55°C (see also Section “Technical data” on page 133).
We recommend using the fan module at even lower ambient temperatures so as to
increase the service life of the Remote Field Controller.
The fan module is not supplied as standard with the Remote Field Controller; it is available
as an accessory.
The fan module is secured to the bottom of the Remote Field Controller using four screws.
Tighten the screws so that they do not loosen accidentally, e.g., due to vibrations (see
Section “Mounting the fan” on page 60).
The electrical connection between the Remote Field Controller and the fan module is
established automatically when the fan module is fitted. The fan module contains two fans.
The vents for the fan module are located on the bottom of the module. When installing the
Remote Field Controller make sure that the vents can be freely accessed. The Remote
Field Controller can overheat if the vents are covered. To ensure good ventilation, leave
a gap of 8 to 10 cm above and below the Remote Field Controller.
NOTE:
The fan module must not be replaced during operation. The Remote Field Controller must
be switched off before the fan module can be replaced. To replace the fan module,
remove the Remote Field Controller from the DIN rail. Refer to the information in Section
“Replacing the fan module” on page 105 and Section “Replacing the RFC 460R PN 3TX”

B1 : SYNC synchronization interface
B2 : Synchronization interface with inserted SFP module
3.8.1 SYNC interface
The SYNC interface is available at the Remote Field Controller for the synchronization of
both Remote Field Controllers of the redundant control system (B1 in Figure 3-30). The
operation of the SYNC interface requires the use of standardized SFP modules, which
support different transmission lengths (B2 in Figure 3-30).
See also Section “Connecting the synchronization connection to the SYNC interface (fiber
optics)” on page 62.
3.8.2 Ethernet interfaces
Three standardized Ethernet interfaces are available at the Remote Field Controller.
Interfaces LAN1.1/LAN1.2 are switched inside the device. They are used to connect an
Ethernet network. A PROFINET network can be connected using the LAN2 interface at the
Remote Field Controller. The Remote Field Controller operates as a PROFINET controller
via this interface. In addition, if the fiber optic synchronization connection is interrupted
during runtime, the redundant control system is synchronized via the LAN2 interface as long
as an active connection exists between the Remote Field Controllers via this interface.
A programming PC can be operated at each Ethernet interface of the Remote Field
Controller.
A MAC address is assigned to the LAN1.1/LAN1.2 interfaces (LAN1). An additional MAC
address is assigned to interface LAN2.

The Ethernet interfaces are RJ45 sockets and have the following function:
Interface Description
LAN1 10/100Base-T(X)
(LAN1.1/LAN1.2)
LAN2 10/100Base-T(X) and function as a PROFINET controller interface
The LAN1.1/LAN2 Ethernet interfaces of the Remote Field Controller support the
autocrossing function (auto crossover) and the auto negotiation function. In order to use
the auto negotiation function, the LAN1.1 Ethernet interface requires a communication
partner with activated auto negotiation function.
Information on IP settings of the Ethernet interfaces
Please note:
– The IP addresses of the LAN1/LAN2 interfaces must be in different subnetworks.
– The LAN2 interface must be assigned an IP address because the PROFINET
controller function of the Remote Field Controller is available at this interface.
– The LAN1 interface must not necessarily be assigned an IP address if, for example,
communication between a PC with PC Worx and the Remote Field Controller is also
implemented via the LAN2 interface.
For additional information on the interfaces, in particular the assignment of IP addresses,
please refer to Section “Specifying the IP addresses of the Remote Field Controller
defined as FIRST” on page 78.
Information on the installation of an Ethernet network
Use an Ethernet cable according to CAT5 of IEEE 802.3.

When working on PROFINET and its components, the following documents must always
be available and observed at all times.
– PROFINET Installation Guideline for Cabling and Assembly
– PROFIBUS Guideline
These documents are available on the Internet at www.profinet.com or you can contact
your local Phoenix Contact representative regarding these documents (see also Section
“Documentation” on page 137).
For the interface assignment, please refer to “Ethernet interfaces LAN1.1/LAN1.2 and
LAN2 (10/100Base-T)” on page 139.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
3.8.3 USB interfaces
See Section “USB interfaces” on page 140
3.8.4 Connecting the power supply
See Section “Connecting the supply voltage” on page 64 and Section “Connecting the
supply voltage” on page 141.

3.9 Power supply
Please note that a separate power supply unit should be provided for each Remote Field
Controller in the redundant control system.
If a corresponding redundancy module is used, the power supply units can be designed
to create a redundant system.
A corresponding signal from the alarm contact inside the module in the redundant control
system can be evaluated to monitor the redundant power supply units. Please refer to the
information in the module-specific user documentation.
For the ordering data, please refer to “Accessories” on page 136.
3.9.1 Sizing of the power supply
The maximum current required for the Remote Field Controller is 2.0 A.
A power supply unit with an output current of IOUT ≥ 2.5 A is therefore recommended for
operating the Remote Field Controller.
A power supply without a fall-back characteristic curve must be used for correct
operation of the Remote Field Controller (see Figure 3-32 on page 56). When the Remote
Field Controller is switched on, an increased inrush current is temporarily triggered. The
Remote Field Controller behaves like a capacitive load when it is
switched on.
WARNING: Loss of electrical safety when using unsuitable power supplies

The RFC 460R PN 3TX is designed exclusively for protective extra-low voltage (PELV)
operation according to EN 60204-1. Only PELV according to the defined standard may be
used for supply purposes.
The following applies to the network (PROFINET) and the I/O devices used in it:
Only use power supply units that meet EN 61204 with safe isolation and PELV according
to EN 50178/VDE 0160 (PELV). This prevents short circuits between primary and
secondary sides.
Some electronically controlled power supply units have a fall-back characteristic curve (see
Figure 3-31 on page 56). They are not suitable for operation with capacitive loads.
The following power supply unit (without fall-back characteristic curve) is recommended for
operating the Remote Field Controller:
– Primary-switched power supply unit with SFB technology for 6 times the nominal current
QUINT-PS/1AC/24DC/3.5; 24 V DC, 3.5 A (Order No. 2866747)
Other power supply units can be used as an alternative. For examples of suitable
Phoenix Contact power supply units, please refer to “Accessories” on page 136.

Remote Field Controllers
Once you have correctly mounted and installed both RFC 460R PN 3TX Remote Field
Controllers, define the redundancy type (FIRST or SECOND) for both Remote Field
Controllers. The redundancy type only needs to be defined once during startup.
Defining the FIRST Proceed as follows:

redundancy type 1. Switch on the power supply for the redundant control system and boot both Remote
Field Controllers until the following status appears in both displays:
Figure 5-1 Remote Field Controller not synchronized (NSYN: No Sync)
• Switch to the REDUNDANCY submenu using the , , and keys.

Controller defined as FIRST above. To do this, proceed as described in Section “Specifying
the IP addresses of the Remote Field Controller defined as FIRST” on page 78.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
5.2.2 Specifying the IP addresses of the Remote Field Controller

defined as FIRST
This section describes how to specify the IP address settings for Ethernet interfaces LAN1
and LAN2 of the Remote Field Controller defined as FIRST. The procedure for assigning the
IP settings is essentially the same for the LAN1 and LAN2 interfaces. The example below
shows the general procedure using the LAN2 interface.
IP settings for LAN1/LAN2 Ethernet interface
The initial assignment of the IP settings can be carried out using the diagnostic display.
Please note:
If the Remote Field Controller already has IP settings that are valid in your network, the IP
settings can be modified via the network using PC Worx (see Section “IP addresses of the
Remote Field Controller (FIRST)” on page 89).
The IP settings of the Remote Field Controller can be checked at any time, even during
operation.
• Press the key to switch to the system menu.

• In this case, correct your settings as described above.
• Once you have set the IP address, use the , , and keys to switch to the
“IP CFG LAN2” submenu and the “Edit Subnetmask (LAN2)” menu item in order to
check and, if necessary, set the subnet mask for interface LAN2.
The following menu appears with a suggested subnet mask:

• The required subnet mask in this example is “255.255.0.0”. If this is not present, use the
, , and keys to set it.

Startup
The following message is displayed if you have changed the subnet mask (“255.255.0.0” in
the example):
Figure 5-18 System menu – subnet mask changed
Now make the IP address settings for the LAN1 interface according to the above
description:

The IP settings you have made are stored on the parameterization memory. The changes
take effect when the Remote Field Controller is restarted.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
5.2.3 Applying the settings – synchronizing the redundant

control system
To apply the IP address (FIRST) and redundancy settings (FIRST and SECOND) previously
stored on the parameterization memories, i.e., to synchronize the redundant control system,
please proceed as described in this section.
The SECOND redundancy type must have been assigned to one of the Remote Field
Controllers of the redundant control system by a restart (see Section “Specifying the
redundancy type of the RFC 460R PN 3TX Remote Field Controllers” on page 73).
First reset the Remote Field Controller defined as FIRST by means of a RESTART or switch
its supply voltage off and then on again.
During the boot phase that follows, the Remote Field Controller defined as FIRST
synchronizes itself with the Remote Field Controller defined as SECOND by performing a
controlled reset of the controller via the fiber optic synchronization connection. As a result
the redundancy states of both Remote Field Controllers are adjusted.
Perform restart for FIRST Perform a restart for the Remote Field Controller defined as FIRST. Select “RESTART” in
the system menu.
• Initiate the restart by selecting the “Yes” option using the and keys (see
Figure 5-20).
Figure 5-20 System menu – Remote Field Controller restart
Once the Remote Field Controller defined as FIRST has been restarted, it automatically
initiates the restart of the Remote Field Controller defined as SECOND during
synchronization.

Startup
Once both Remote Field Controllers have been restarted successfully, they are both
assigned the redundancy type that was previously set. In addition, the IP address settings
of the Remote Field Controller defined as SECOND are assigned during startup.
LAN1 and LAN2: note IP addresses

Please note that for Ethernet interfaces LAN1 and LAN2 the Remote Field Controller
defined as SECOND by the redundant control system always has the IP address settings
of the FIRST increased by “+1” automatically: IP address SECOND = IP address FIRST
+ 1. Example:
– FIRST:
LAN1: 192.168.1.10/subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
LAN2: 172.16.1.2/subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
– SECOND:
LAN1: 192.168.1.11/subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
LAN2: 172.16.1.3/subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Do not assign the IP addresses automatically occupied by the redundant control system
for other PROFINET devices. In addition, ensure that other devices in your network (PCs,
printers, etc.) do not use these IP addresses.
Both controllers assume their redundancy role. The Remote Field Controller defined as
FIRST assumes the PRIMARY redundancy role and the Remote Field Controller defined as
SECOND assumes the BACKUP redundancy role.
Both Remote Field Controllers are in the “No Sync” state (NSYN). Following successful
synchronization, both Remote Field Controllers change to the “Basic Sync” state (BSYN,
see Figure 5-21), i.e., there is a communication connection between the PRIMARY (FIRST)
and BACKUP (SECOND) Remote Field Controllers.
PRIMARY (FIRST) – BSYN BACKUP (SECOND) – BSYN

Integration of the RFC 460R PN 3TX in PC Worx
6 Integration of the RFC 460R PN 3TX in PC Worx

This section covers the following topics:
– Creating a new project in PC Worx
– Transferring the IP address settings of the Remote Field Controllers (FIRST/SECOND)
of the redundant control system to PC Worx
– Reading PROFINET devices that are available in the network
– Compiling the created project
– Downloading the compiled project to the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller
– Performing a cold restart for the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller after successfully
downloading the project
– Synchronizing the redundant control system
For the chronological sequence of the steps carried out, please refer to this section.
Interactions between PC Worx and the redundant control system

For all interactions with the redundant control system, PC Worx only accesses the
PRIMARY Remote Field Controller that controls the process, regardless of whether it is
the FIRST or SECOND Remote Field Controller. The only exception is for IP address
settings if these are made in the advanced settings in the “Device Details” window. Please
observe the notes in Section “Device Details, Extended Settings – Network Settings” on
page 109.
This section assumes the following:

– The PC Worx software has been installed on your PC according to the quick start guide.
– The connected PROFINET devices have been installed according to the device-
specific user documentation.
– The redundant control system is operating without errors and an online connection
exists to both Remote Field Controllers.
When carrying out the following steps, please refer to the quick start guide for PC Worx
as well as the online help for the software and the user manual for the AXC 1050 PN
STARTERKIT:
– UM QS EN AXC 1050 PN STARTERKIT
These user manuals provide a quick start guide to programming and parameterizing a
PROFINET configuration within the PC Worx software.

Selecting and inserting There are two options available in the PC Worx software for integrating the
devices in the bus RFC 460R PN 3TX as a PROFINET controller together with the PROFINET devices
configuration connected to it.
PROFINET
Either automatically read the PROFINET devices in the network, then check the settings of
the device(s), and adapt the settings to your application, if necessary, or manually insert the
device(s) as a PROFINET device in the bus configuration and then adapt the settings of the
device(s).

6.2 Specifying project information
• Switch to the bus configuration workspace.

After creating a new project, the project information is displayed in the bus configuration
workspace.
Figure 6-4 Project information after creating a new project
First and last IP address, During project creation, PC Worx automatically assigns an IP address area for a local
subnet mask network (range from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254). If you would like to use another
address area (e.g., a global network), adapt the start and end address on the project node
(here: UM_RFC_460R) to your application.
If the IP parameters are modified in the project settings, the IP addresses of the controller
may have to be modified manually.
If you are using the addresses of a local network in your project, also assign a
corresponding address for the local network (e.g., 192.168.0.225) to the PC on which
PC Worx is installed. Otherwise the devices in the local network cannot be accessed.
For information on the IP addresses to be used within your system, please contact your
system administrator.
If the start address of the new address area to be entered is higher than the previous end
address, please modify the end address first.
If you manually assign IP parameters that are outside the defined area, they will be
accepted and displayed with a warning.
• Adapt the project information to your project.

The following settings are used for the IP address area in the example project:
Figure 6-5 Project information in the example project
6.3 IP addresses of the Remote Field Controller

(FIRST)
In order to address the FIRST Remote Field Controller in PC Worx, the IP address settings
that were entered via the LCD during startup (see Section “Specifying the IP addresses of

Controller only exist in the project at this point. If you switch the supply voltage off and on
again at this point, the devices read in the “Read PROFINET” dialog box (see Figure 6-9
on page 93) as described above will appear again without IP addresses. It is only once
the project has been compiled in PC Worx and downloaded to the Remote Field
Controller (see Section “Compiling and sending a project to the Remote Field Controller”
on page 96), that the Remote Field Controller assigns the settings saved in the
project on every power up.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
6.6 Compiling and sending a project to the Remote

Field Controller
The previous steps have prepared the project so that the example structure can be started
up. Compile the project and then send the project to the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller.
• To compile the project, select the “Rebuild Project” command from the “Build” menu.
Figure 6-13 “Rebuild Project” in the “Build” menu
Following successful compilation without any errors (display in the message window of
PC Worx), the project can be sent to the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller.
• Open the “Project control” dialog box. To do this, click the corresponding button.
• Click on “Download” to send the project to the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller.
Figure 6-14 Project control dialog box: “Download”

6.7 Performing a cold restart for the Remote Field

Controller
• Start the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller by clicking on “Cold”.
Figure 6-15 Project control dialog box: “Cold”
Once the redundant control system and the connected PROFINET network have been
started up successfully, the Remote Field Controllers change to the “HotStandBy”
redundancy status. The PRIMARY Remote Field Controller that controls the process
indicates the “SYNC” state in the display, the BACKUP Remote Field Controller indicates
the “HSBY” state (see Figure 6-16).
PRIMARY (FIRST) – SYNC BACKUP (SECOND) – HSBY

Updating the firmware, repair, replacing the fan module
8 Updating the firmware, repair, replacing the fan module
8.1 Updating the device firmware
The firmware of the device (integrated software on the RFC 460R PN 3TX) can be updated
via the USB interfaces. Such firmware updates are exclusively used for adding new
functions that are implemented within the scope of continuous product improvement for the
RFC 460R PN 3TX firmware. No firmware update is required for normal system operation.
NOTE: Potential device malfunction

Do not interrupt the RFC 460R PN 3TX supply voltage during the firmware update
process. Interruption of the supply voltage can result in a malfunction on the
RFC 460R PN 3TX. In this case, the device can no longer be used.
WARNING:
Take appropriate measures to ensure that the system/machine does not present any
danger during the firmware update phase.
Please note any other information available regarding firmware updates. If available, this
will be included with the firmware update files.
After updating the firmware, perform a voltage reset so that the entire device is
reinitialized.
Please note that only combinations of firmware and device versions that have been
approved by Phoenix Contact may be created.
For information on compatible and approved firmware versions for your devices and
instructions on how to perform updates, please visit phoenixcontact.net/products.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
How to proceed
To update the firmware, always use the following USB memory stick:
VS-04-MS-IP20 (Order No. 1402490) USB memory stick, IP20, USB 2.0
Always update the firmware for both Remote Field Controllers of the redundant control
system one after the other. The order does not matter.
If you start the firmware update on the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller first, the
redundancy roles of both Remote Field Controllers are switched. If the switch-over is
completed without errors, the previous BACKUP becomes the PRIMARY Remote Field
Controller and takes control of the process, i.e., the application continues running.
• If the required firmware file (Setup_Firmware_.......zip) is not available, download it from

the device download area to the hard disk of your PC.
• Extract the file. If necessary, execute the “exe” file and follow the instructions.
• Copy the extracted firmware container file (2700784_Revision.ctn) from the hard disk
of your PC to the main directory of the memory stick.
• Insert the memory stick in one of the two USB sockets.
Do not continue with the next step until the LED on the memory stick is permanently on.
• Call the “FW-UPDATE” menu item in the system menu using the operating keys (A in
Figure 8-1).
Please note that the firmware update process starts as soon as the following step is
executed.
Only select this item if you have inserted the necessary USB stick for the firmware update
into the USB interface. There is no cancel for this operation.
• Start the firmware update using the key.

8.2 Repair
Repair work may not be carried out on the RFC 460R PN 3TX. Send faulty devices with
detailed error information (see Section “Errors, diagnostic messages, and removal” on
page 99) to Phoenix Contact.
8.3 Replacing the fan module
NOTE:
The fan module must not be replaced during operation. The Remote Field Controller must
be switched off before the fan module can be replaced. To replace the fan module,
remove the Remote Field Controller from the DIN rail.
The procedure for installing and removing the Remote Field Controller is described in
“Replacing the RFC 460R PN 3TX” on page 65.

Additional settings/redundancy features in PC Worx
9 Additional settings/redundancy features in PC Worx
9.1 Setting the realtime clock
In the “Extended Settings” tab in the “Device Details” window, the time and date can be set
for the internal system clock of the Remote Field Controller (see Figure 9-3 on page 109:
“Real-time Clock Settings” area.
The system clock can only be set using PC Worx for the PRIMARY Remote Field
Controller that controls the process. Make sure that the system clock setting from
PC Worx is only sent to this Remote Field Controller.
Once the system clock setting has been made in the “Real-time Clock Settings” area, click
on the relevant “Send” button. Then select the required interface (see Figure 9-1).
Figure 9-1 Selecting the interface/communication path
On synchronization of the redundant control system, the setting is transmitted from the
PRIMARY to the BACKUP Remote Field Controller.
The setting must be sent to the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller because a setting sent
to the BACKUP Remote Field Controller by the PRIMARY Remote Field Controller that
controls the process would be overwritten immediately on synchronization.
To set the realtime clock, refer to the quick start guide for the PC Worx version used.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
9.2 Setting task properties
The redundant control system permits the use of one user task. Either the default task or a
cyclic task can be selected in PC Worx (see Figure 9-2). If a cyclic task is used, please note
that the cycle time must be selected so that synchronization can be performed in addition to
the task runtime. If the default task is used, this is not necessary. This means that
processing may be faster when using the default task, however processing is equidistant
when using a cyclic task.
When using a cyclic task, please ensure that both inputs and outputs are linked and created
as one task. If this is not the case, PC Worx will automatically generate I/O groups, which
are implicitly assigned to the default task. During compilation, this will result in the error
message that more than one task is used.
If necessary, adapt the task properties for your application. The task properties can be set
in the IEC programming workspace under the “Hardware Structure” for the “STD_TSK:
DEFAULT” standard task.
Figure 9-2 Standard task: DEFAULT or CYCLIC type
For additional information on task properties, please refer to the quick start guide or the
online help for PC Worx.

9.3 Device Details, Extended Settings – Network

Settings
The “Device Details” window in PC Worx can be used to view the IP settings and the
PROFINET device names of the FIRST and SECOND Remote Field Controllers. The data
for the FIRST Remote Field Controller can be modified if required by the application, but the
data for the SECOND Remote Field Controller can only be viewed.
A B
Figure 9-3 Network Settings: FIRST-LAN2 (A), SECOND-LAN2 (B)
Read The “Read” button can be used to read in the network settings for the selected interface, the
PROFINET device name, and the settings for the internal realtime clock in PC Worx.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
Reset Control System The “Reset Control System” button can be used to reset the Remote Field Controller after
entering the required IP address (communication path), for example, to activate the network
settings that were previously sent to the device.
NOTE:
Do not modify the IP address settings using the advanced settings in the “Device Details”
window of PC Worx if the redundant control system is in the HotStandBy operating state.
The SECOND Remote Field Controller (BACKUP) becomes the PRIMARY Remote Field
Controller once the IP address settings of the FIRST Remote Field Controller (previously
PRIMARY) have been changed and the FIRST Remote Field Controller performs a restart
when the “Reset Control System” button is pressed. Since the SECOND Remote Field
Controller now controls the process, it will immediately overwrite the previous IP address
settings on subsequent synchronization.
Regardless of which network settings are displayed (FIRST-LAN1, ... SECOND-LAN2),

both the FIRST and the SECOND Remote Field Controllers can be reset using the “Reset
Control System” button after entering the corresponding IP address.
If the “Reset Control System” button is activated during system operation, for example, for
diagnostic purposes, make sure that the correct IP address is set for the Remote Field
Controller to be reset in the dialog box for setting the communication path.
Open FTP Folder on Use the “Open FTP Folder on Device” button to access the parameterization memory of the
Device Remote Field Controller via FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

9.4 Redundant variables
Variables used for redundancy operation must be marked as redundant variables in

PC Worx. The “Redundant Variable” column in the variable worksheet in PC Worx is used
for this. Select the corresponding checkbox to mark redundant variables.
Limited amount of data that can be synchronized

Please note that the amount of data that can be synchronized for redundancy purposes
is limited to a maximum of 62 kbytes. Make sure that this limit is not exceeded by the
redundant variables (see highlighted “Redundant Variable” in Figure 9-4).
As of AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite 2016 Version 1.83, the amount of data used
is indicated in the PC Worx message window on the “Infos” tab.
New variables that are inserted in the “Global Variables” (see Figure 9-4) or “MainV” (see
Figure 9-5 on page 112) worksheets are assigned the “Redundant Variable” marking by
default. For variables created in the “Main” worksheet using the “Variable Properties” dialog
box, the default marking is not applied. If necessary, make this setting in the “Global
Variables” or “MainV” worksheet yourself.
• Switch to the IEC programming workspace.

• Create the required variables for your application. Proceed as described in the online
help or quick start guide for PC Worx.
Check/set the variable marking as a redundant variable in the “Global Variables” worksheet
(see Figure 9-4) or in the “MainV” worksheet (see Figure 9-5 on page 112).
Figure 9-4 Redundant variables: “Global Variables” worksheet

RFC 460R PN 3TX
Figure 9-5 Redundant variables: “MainV” worksheet

9.5 Switching redundancy roles
The redundancy roles for the Remote Field Controllers of the redundant control system can
be switched over via the LCD, using Diag+ or using the CPU_Set_Value firmware service
(02CBhex).
For information on switch-over via the LCD, please refer to Section “REDUNDANCY
submenu – meaning of menu items” on page 46.
In Diag+ the redundancy roles are switched over using the “Swap redundancy role” button
(see Figure 9-6).
Figure 9-6 Diag+: “Redundancy information – Swap redundancy role”
Information on switching over the redundancy role using the firmware service is given
below.
Please ensure that the redundancy role is only switched over via firmware service for the
PRIMARY Remote Field Controller that controls the process in the application program. The
redundant control system synchronizes the redundancy role of the BACKUP Remote Field
Controller accordingly.
Use the CPU_Set_Value firmware service (02CBhex) for switch-over. It can be called using
the CPU_CONTROL function block in your application program.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
In order to prevent the BACKUP Remote Field Controller from also switching redundancy
role, assign the execution of the firmware service only to the Remote Field Controller with
the PRIMARY redundancy role. To do this, send a request to the RDNCY_IS_PRIMARY
system variable in your application program.
For test purposes, this service can be executed in the CPU service editor in PC Worx. For
your application, program the service accordingly in your application program.
For information on the PC Worx CPU service editor and programming in PC Worx, please
refer to the quick start guide and the online help for the version of PC Worx used.
Regardless of how the switch-over of redundancy roles is implemented, PC Worx displays

the switch-over using the following dialog box if an online connection exists between the
software and the redundant control system.

RFC 460R PN 3TX
9.6 Download changes
The RFC 460R PN 3TX Remote Field Controller supports the “Download Changes”
function. This function can be used to send project modifications to the Remote Field
Controllers and activate them there without having to stop the active PLC.
For more detailed information on this function, please refer to the online help for PC Worx.
When downloading changes to the Remote Field Controllers, it is possible to specify

whether the system should ensure the realtime behavior of the PLC before starting the
download process. By default, realtime violations are not permitted.
Figure 9-8 Ensuring realtime
If the “Always allow real-time violations...” checkbox is deactivated in the “Download

Options” dialog box (recommended default setting), the system attempts to execute the
“Download Changes” function without violating the realtime conditions of the tasks
executed on the PLC.
If the modifications cannot be sent, for example, because the amount of data to be copied
is too large, an error message is output. In this case, activate the “Always allow real-time
violations...” option so that all modifications can be executed. (In this case, please refer to
the background information provided in the online help, realtime behavior section.)
NOTE:
If realtime violations are permitted, first ensure that your PLC application is running within
safe limits. Please note that each realtime violation may result in unexpected
consequences in the automation system, as under certain circumstances user tasks are
not processed for a short time. Therefore, check the level of risk before disabling this
option.

9.7 Parameterization memory and Internet Explorer
To delete files or store user-specific files on the internal parameterization memory, proceed
as follows:
The FTP function must be activated in Internet Explorer. See Section “Internet Explorer
FTP function” on page 118.
• Switch to the bus configuration workspace in PC Worx.

• Select the controller (“RFC 460R PN 3TX” in the example) in the “Bus Structure”
window.
• Select the “Extended Settings” tab in the “Device Details” window.
• Open Internet Explorer from this window by clicking on the “Open FTP Folder on
Device” button.
Figure 9-9 Extended Settings: Open FTP Folder on Device

RFC 460R PN 3TX
The file structure, which is stored on the parameterization memory, is displayed in the
Internet Explorer window.
Figure 9-10 File structure on the parameterization memory
Data may only be copied or deleted in the parameterization memory. Do not edit any files
as Internet Explorer does not store modified data.
For the current state to be displayed, update the display after every action by means of
the “View, Refresh” command.
9.7.1 Internet Explorer FTP function
• Activate this setting in Internet Explorer under “Tools, Internet Options, Advanced”.
Figure 9-11 Internet Options: Enable folder view for FTP sites

9.7.2 Activating/deactivating the FTP server
To protect the Remote Field Controller against unauthorized access, it may be necessary
to deactivate the FTP server. The CPU_Set_Value_Request service with Var ID 0172hex is
used for this. This service activates or deactivates the FTP server for the runtime of the
firmware. The set FTP server state is stored retentively and mapped to the
ETH_SRV_FTP_ACTIVE system variable. This setting is restored the next time the Remote
Field Controller is rebooted.
Value range for the CPU_Set_Value_Request service:
Var ID 0172hex
Value 0000hex Deactivate FTP server
0001hex Activate FTP server
Figure 9-12 Deactivating the FTP server
9.7.3 Activating/deactivating the HTTP server
To protect the Remote Field Controller against unauthorized access, it may be necessary
to deactivate the HTTP server. The CPU_Set_Value_Request service with Var ID 0173hex
is used for this. This service activates or deactivates the HTTP server for the runtime of the
firmware. The set HTTP server state is stored retentively and mapped to the
ETH_SRV_HTTP_ACTIVE system variable. This setting is restored the next time the
Remote Field Controller is restarted.
Value range for the CPU_Set_Value_Request service:
Var ID 0173hex
Value 0000hex Deactivate HTTP server
0001hex Activate HTTP server

RFC 460R PN 3TX
9.8 Substitute value behavior for PROFINET devices
The substitute value behavior for the input data of the controller must be specified in your
PC Worx project. By default, the input data of the controller is set to zero if the connection
to a PROFINET device is interrupted.
Set the substitute value behavior for each PROFINET device individually in PC Worx (see
Figure 9-13).
Figure 9-13 PROFINET device – “Substitute value behavior of inputs”
If the connection to a PROFINET device is interrupted, the “Set to zero” option means that
the corresponding input data of the controller is set to zero. The “Keep values” option means
that if the connection to a PROFINET device is interrupted, the input values that were valid
immediately before the interruption remain as the input data in the application program.
When the connection to the PROFINET device is restored, the substitute values remain
valid as input data until the PROFINET device has been started up completely. Once the
connection has been established again, the latest input data is used.

9.9 Function blocks for handling files in the

parameterization memory
The function blocks are used to access files from within the application program. Some of
the blocks support multiple instantiation. This means that it is possible to work with a number
of different files within the same project. The blocks perform the standard functions that are
required for typical file access operations.
The FILE_NOTIFY block is available in addition to the blocks for typical file access
operations. This block can be used to detect files that have been modified in a directory
containing user files. These modifications may include:
– Deletion of one or more files
– Writing one or more new files
– Modification of one or more existing files
Both modifications made to this directory via FTP (remote) and modifications made locally
via function blocks or firmware services can be detected.
All file operations are subject to the following restrictions:

No directory hierarchies are supported. All file operations only affect the root directory of
the parameterization memory.
The function blocks are valid for:

Order designation From hardware version From firmware version
RFC 460R PN 3TX 00 5.00

An error has occurred in the PROFINET network, i.e., a
connection could not be established to at least one
configured device. This value is not set if the “Control BF”
parameter is set to FALSE for a device. This device has
therefore been excluded from connection monitoring.
PNIO_SYSTEM_SF BOOL Diagnostic alarm on a configured PROFINET device
At least one PROFINET device is indicating a system error
(diagnostic alarm or maintenance alarm). The error priority
can be determined from the “PNIO_DIAG_AVAILABLE”,
