Chapter 4: The Max-ON RX3i Configuration
The Max-ON RX3i Configuration Utility is used to create or edit the operating parameters
used by the Max-ON RX3i redundancy drivers. These parameters specify such things as, bus
topologies, I/O addresses, and definitions for the ranges of synchronized data transfers.

Max-ON RX3i Projects

A Max-ON RX3i Project is a collection of items needed to define the elements of a redundant
system. If you inspected a Max-ON RX3i Project using Logic Developer PLC, you would see
that it consists of a Machine Edition Project with 3 Targets:
•
•
•
The Max-ON RX3i Configuration Utility
Utility
PLC_A_HW – This target contains the hardware configuration for PLC A. It must be
edited to reflect the hardware settings and components of PLC A in your system.
Then it must be downloaded to PLC A (only).
PLC_B_HW – This target contains the hardware configuration for PLC B. It must be
edited to reflect the hardware settings and components of PLC B in your system. It
will be very similar to PLC A hardware configuration, except for certain items such IP
addresses, and Genius bus controller settings. In a similar fashion, this configuration
must be downloaded to PLC B (only).
PLC_COMMON_CODE – This contains the core redundancy logic for the Max-ON
RX3i redundancy application. You must add your application logic starting in the
rung that follows the call to the core Max-ON RX3i logic (hbr_000). The logic from
this target will be downloaded to both PLC A and PLC B. Note that the download
consists of the PLC Logic Only, the Hardware Configuration option must be
unchecked.
