PACSystems* RX7i Controller
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.
Designed to address mid-to high-end applications for OEMs, integrators, and end users,
the PACSystems RX7i is ideally suited for
integrated solutions that require an open
architecture, large memory, distributed I/O,
and high performance.
Performance – Delivering on the
Demands of Your Most Advanced
Applications
•t Pentium® CPUs for your every need, from
Celeron 300Mhz to M Class 1.8Ghz
•t VME64 Backplane provides up to four
times the bandwidth of existing Series
90*-70 systems
•t 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
•t 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
•t Object Oriented programming through
IEC languages including C for fast executing, standards based applications
•t Integration of Control Memory Xchange,
a high speed global memory over a fiber
network — like having a networked drive
everyone can see and share
•t High capacity power supplies (100W and
350W) to reduce the requirement for an
external supply
Productivity – Maximizing Efficiency
of Design and Operation
•t One common environment for configuring, programming, commissioning, and
maintaining your application with Proficy*
Machine Edition
•t One tool for Control, View and Motion program development
•t System Management with Manager provides Version Control, Security Access, and
Audit Trail
•t Embed Proficy Historian or other tools typically requiring a separate computer for
maximum productivity
Openness – Optimizing the Benefits
of Market Technology
•t Supports VME third party boards
•t Connectivity to globally accepted communications: Ethernet, GENIUS*, Profibus™ and
DeviceNet™
•t Additional communications options with
RS-232 and RS-485 ports
•t Web server access with user-defined pages
Flexibility – Leveraging Software
and Hardware Platforms for Multiple
Generations
•t High availability with high speed bumpless
transfer using Control Memory Exchange
(reflective memory)
•t Dual or Single LAN, Ethernet or GENIUS, for
redundant or simplex control systems
•t Mix languages within the application
•t Supports existing Series 90-70 I/O and new
I/O in same rack
Migration – Protecting Intellectual
Property and Application Investment
•t Same overall controller footprint as
Series 90-70
•t Supports existing Series 90-70 modules,
expansion racks, VME modules and
GENIUS networks — protecting your hardware investment
•t Seamless conversion of Series 90-70
programs for complete protection of application investment
•t Upgrade your Series Six system, connecting
directly to the I/O and converting the existing program into the PACSystems easily
•t PACSystems’ open, layered and portable
engine allows continuous migration as
technology changes
