GE PACSystems™ RX3i CPE400 and CPL410 Edge Controllers

GE PACSystems™ RX3i CPE400 and CPL410 Edge Controllers

Designed for Real-World Demands

The RX3i CPE400 and CPL410 compliment real-time  deterministic control with embedded PACEdge software,  delivers near real-time advice through market analysis,  fleet and enterprise data, or asset/process knowledge to  optimize business outcomes.

RX3i Edge Controllers provide an open platform for reliable,  secure communication and analytics using either cloud-based  or edge-based apps. Controls can now be augmented to  dynamically influence business outcomes, generate new forms  of revenue, and improve profitability.

Reliable, High-Speed Performance

The RX3i CPE400 and CPL410 run on a real- time operating  system, allowing them to deliver reliable and secure industrial  applications. They offer premier, high-speed performance  and secure data handling for any multi-disciplined control  system. A generous working memory accommodates  large programs and extensive data storage. The quad-core  high-speed microprocessor executes programs faster than ever  before. They support industry-standard PROFINET® with I/O  update rates as fast as 1ms and up to 64 devices. With Ethernet  interface rates up to 1 Gbps, the RX3i CPE400 and CPL410  are built for rapid, reliable data interchange.

Industrial Internet Enabled  with PACEdge Software

Emerson Edge Controllers use real-time hypervisor  technology to run real-time deterministic control applications  concurrently with the PACEdge software in a reliable and  cooperative manner without impacting each other. The  PACEdge Software, including PACEdge + Movicon Connext  (CPE400) or PACEdge + Movicon WebHMI (CPL410) enables  customers to not only connect to their preferred cloud service,  but also allows them to collect, store, analyze, and visualize  data next to the control system to optimize their processes for  better outcome without compromising their high-performance  deterministic control requirements. Fleet- level analytics and  access to real-time information enabled by the RX3i CPE400 and  CPL410 are critical to OEMs and machine builders looking to  get the most from their equipment fleets, minimize travel and  maintenance costs, and quickly create and deploy intellectual  property to differentiate their machines.

Advanced Security

Industrial controls are constant targets of cyber threats.  We understand the risk involved in securing our customers’  most important assets. We believe in defense-in-depth  architectures to secure assets from potential cyber threats.

With Achilles Level 2 Certification, the RX3i CPE400 and CPL410  have been developed to be secure by design, incorporating  technologies such as Trusted Platform Modules, and secure  boot. A centralized configuration allows encrypted firmware  updates to be executed from a secure central location.  A broad suite of cyber-security technology and tools help  prevent unauthorized updates while built-in security  communication protocols help protect against man-in-the  middle and denial-of- service attacks.

Key Benefits

Cloud Agnostic Platform. PACEdge software allows  for secure connection to the customer’s preferred  cloud, leveraging data to analyze and optimize  business operations and improve profitability.

Co-processor Engine. A co-processor engine  means that existing IIoT applications can be quickly  integrated with RX3i CPE400 and CPL410 to enable  more intelligent controls.

Reduced Risk. Built on the strong foundation  of 40 years’ experience providing real-time,  deterministic controls for the world’s industrial  assets, the RX3i CPE400 and CPL410 are secure by  design, enabling secure operations and connectivity  from edge to cloud.

Reduced Lifecycle Cost. Advanced capabilities  simplify system architecture and reduce applied  engineering costs. Costs are further reduced with  embedded PROFINET, accommodating dedicated  I/O for application-specific needs

Maximum Uptime. Our market-leading PACSystems  High Availability solutions RX3i CPE400 and CPL410  offer a best-in-class, high-availability control system  for concurrent maintainability and elimination of  single points of failure, maximizing uptime.
