GE PACSystems™ RX3i 64 MB CPU

User Features

The PACSystems™ RX3i CPE330 is a richly featured programmable  controller CPU equipped with 64Mbytes of built-in program memory and  two independent high-speed Ethernet interfaces. It is ideally suited for  multi-tier communications and for synchronizing large amounts of data.  Its metal housing provides superior noise immunity.

The CPE330 is programmed and configured over Ethernet via PAC  Machine Edition™ (PME) software. It resides in the RX3i main rack and  supports all RX3i I/O and Intelligent Option modules, up to 32K I/O  points.

▪ Supports an updated OPC stack and certificate management 

▪ Supports PME’s new GUI management interface for OPC UA configuration  integration (start, stop, restart, clear, and provisioning mode)  

▪ Supports the new PAC Security tool available for certificate trust  management for clients and servers 

▪ Supports RX3i Hot Standby Redundancy CPU with PROFINET® I/O using  embedded PROFINET or using rack-mounted IC695PNC001 PROFINET  Controllers. 

▪ Supports RX3i Hot Standby Redundancy with Ethernet (EGD) & Genius I/O. 

▪ Enabled simplex PROFINET I/O controller with support for up to 32 I/O  devices and update rates of 1 – 512 ms. I/O device update rates of 8 msand faster are possible with 16 or fewer devices. When there are more than  16 devices configured, update rates of 16 ms and higher are available. 

▪ Supports the Remote Get HART® Device Information COMMREQ, which  allows the user application to read information from a HART device  connected to an RX3i Analog module in an IC695PNS001 RX3i PROFINET  Scanner. A UDFB that automates the COMMREQ control logic is available for  download. (Refer to New Features and Enhancements for additional  information.)  

▪ Configured with Sequence of Events recording through the Embedded  PROFINET Controller when used with up to four IC695PNS101 Advanced  PROFINET Scanner modules. A RX3i SoE system supports events from up to  512 SoE input points with a system storage buffer for up to 128,000 events at  a maximum rate of 400 events per second per PNS101. Each PNS101  supports SoE recording with IRIG B time synchronization of events accurate  to 1ms and buffers up to 4000 events from up to four IC694MDL660  32 Circuit Discrete Input modules. Unmodulated IRIG B time signals are  decoded by the PNS101 using either an IC695HSC304 or IC695HSC308 High  Speed Counter Module. SoE recording is available in both simplex and  redundant PROFINET systems. 

▪ Supports programming in Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block  Diagram, or C. 

▪ Contains 64 Mbytes of configurable data and program memory. 

▪ Supports auto-located Symbolic Variables that can use any amount of user  memory.

▪ Contains reference tables include 32k bits for discrete %I and %Q and up to  32k words each for analog %AI and %AQ. Bulk memory (%W) also supported  for data exchanges. 

▪ Supports up to 768 program blocks. Maximum size for a block is 128KB. 

▪ Configured to display serial number and date code in PME Device Information  Details. 

▪ Configured for Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and Day Light Savings Time  (DST) support. 

▪ Operating temperature range 0 C to 60 C (32 F to 140 F). 

▪ Compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC using the following  exemptions identified in the Annex: 7(a), 7(c)-I and III, and 15.

Switches

The Run/Stopswitch and RDSD UPLD and RDSD DNLD pushbuttons are  located behind the protective front door. Switch operation is given in the  following table.

The Run/Stopswitch is enabled by default; it can be disabled in the PME  Hardware Configuration (HWC) settings. The memory protection function  of this switch can be disabled separately in HWC. The memory protection  functionality is disabled by default.
