GE PACSystems* RX7i Controller

GE PACSystems* RX7i Controller

DESCRIPTION

Built on a standard embedded open architecture, GE Intelligent Platforms’ PACSystems  RX7i is the first member of the PACSystems  family of programmable automation controllers (PACs). Boosting overall profitability, RX7i  can help improve your performance and productivity for a sustainable advantage. The PACSystems RX7i features a single  control engine and universal programming environment to provide application  portability across multiple hardware  platforms — creating a seamless migration  path and delivering a true convergence of  control choices.

Performance – Delivering on the  Demands of Your Most Advanced

Applications

• Pentium® CPUs for your every need, from  Celeron 300Mhz to M Class 1.8Ghz 

• VME64 Backplane provides up to four  times the bandwidth of existing Series  90*-70 systems 

• 10/100 Ethernet built into the CPU, with  easy cabling RJ-45 dual ports connected  through an auto-sensing switch — no need  for additional switches or hubs rack to rack • Up to 64MB memory for fast execution,  storage of the complete program with all  documentation (including Excel, Word, PDF  and DXF files) — all in one CPU 

• Object Oriented programming through  IEC languages including C for fast executing, standards based applications 

• Integration of Control Memory Xchange,  a high speed global memory over a fiber  network — like having a networked drive  everyone can see and share 

• High capacity power supplies (100W and  350W) to reduce the requirement for an  external supply

Productivity – Maximizing Efficiency  of Design and Operation

• One common environment for configuring, programming, commissioning, and  maintaining your application with Proficy*  Machine Edition 

• One tool for Control, View and Motion program development 

• System Management with Manager provides Version Control, Security Access, and  Audit Trail 

• Embed Proficy Historian or other tools typically requiring a separate computer for  maximum productivity

Openness – Optimizing the Benefits  of Market Technology

• Supports VME third party boards 

• Connectivity to globally accepted communications: Ethernet, GENIUS*, Profibus™ and  DeviceNet™ 

• Additional communications options with  RS-232 and RS-485 ports 

• Web server access with user-defined page

Flexibility – Leveraging Software  and Hardware Platforms for Multiple  Generations

• High availability with high speed bumpless  transfer using Control Memory Exchange  (reflective memory) 

• Dual or Single LAN, Ethernet or GENIUS, for  redundant or simplex control systems 

• Mix languages within the application 

• Supports existing Series 90-70 I/O and new  I/O in same rack

Migration – Protecting Intellectual  Property and Application Investment

• Same overall controller footprint as  Series 90-70 

• Supports existing Series 90-70 modules,  expansion racks, VME modules and  GENIUS networks — protecting your hardware investment 

• Seamless conversion of Series 90-70  programs for complete protection of application investment 

• Upgrade your Series Six system, connecting  directly to the I/O and converting the existing program into the PACSystems easily 

• PACSystems’ open, layered and portable  engine allows continuous migration as  technology changes
