GE PACSystems* RX3i CPUs

GE PACSystems*  RX3i CPUs

DESCRIPTION

GE Intelligent Platforms understands  that equipment builders are  continuously looking for ways to  improve the performance and flexibility  of their equipment while reducing size  and complexity. Fast, easy-to-configure  connectivity to GE’s PACSystems  controllers and extensive range of I/O  options enables scalable machine  automation and highly distributed  modular machine designs. The end  result is high performance automation  for the Industrial Internet.

High performance

Analyze and improve even the most  complex application right at the source.  The latest RX3i CPUs now offer multiple  processing cores, allowing you to do more  with your CPUs. A large working memory in  every high speed RX3i CPU lets you store  more data and access it faster than ever  before. The RX3i offers premier high speed  performance and data handling across any  multi-disciplined control system. Whether  you’re accessing consistent gigabit  data across the backplane or over fiber,  kilometers away, the RX3i CPUs are built  for rapid, reliable performance.

PROFINET advantage

PROFINET I/O solutions from GE provide  productivity and performance advantages  necessary for virtually any type of control  application in a range of industries. PROFINET supports large amounts  of I/O without compromising system  performance and is able to operate in  high-noise environments. Connect  through a module for advanced  flexibility and performance.

Best availability

Can your process controller keep up  with system demands? Many of today's  controllers take ten milliseconds or more  to switchover in the event of a fault or  other system event. Often controllers are  also limited in real I/O connections due  to bottlenecks in overall data collection.  Eliminate delays by combining RX3i and  PROFINET to get Gigabit speed everywhere  and bumpless (0 ms) switchover. Choose  RX3i High Availability and prevent  unexpected failure and costly downtime.

• Simple configuration, maintenance  and operation 

• Single point of connect no matter  what distance

• Fewer external devices to purchase  and configure, and fewer spare parts  to maintain 

• High-speed communication for  real-time control 

• Advanced asset management with  Hart pass-thru I/O

Flexibility and scalability

PACSystems provides a vast amount  of I/O, communications, and specialty  modules to handle a variety of process  and discrete applications. It provides one  of the best migration paths in the industry  with the ability to bring Series 90* -30  modules directly into the PACSystems  backplane to save rewiring and space. In  addition, programs move with ease to  the new programming and configuration  environment, Proficy*  Machine Edition, getting applications up and running  in minutes.
