Demo Mode Operation

A Max-ON RX3i application will operate in demo mode for 22 days on standard PACSystems
RX3i CPU hardware (IC695CPU310). In this mode, all the system's capabilities are fully
operational. At the end of the demo period, PLC A will either stop immediately, if it is the
backup, or begin an orderly transfer of Mastership to PLC B. If the transfer is successful, then
PLC A will shut down automatically. At this point, the system will be operating in a
nonredundant manner.
A Max-ON RX3i system that is installed in a production environment MUST be running on a
Max-ON RX3i CPU (IC695CMU310) in order to allow PLC A to run indefinitely.
Running Max-ON RX3i on a standard RX3i CPU is helpful for short times in case of a hardware
failure or for non-production demonstration purposes.
System Overview
In some cases, third party devices may be used on the LAN as well. These
devices must comply with the Genius I/O specification relating to Controller
Redundancy.
