Chapter 3: Configuration

The RX3i EIS001 IEC 104 Server Module receives three different types of configuration:
a. Its rack/slot location is determined through the hardware configuration tool in PAC
b. Its Ethernet parameters are set through PAC Machine Edition, as documented in
c.
3.1

Configuration Tools

• PACSystems RX3i CPU Firmware 8.00 or later. Refer to PACSystems RX3i Ethernet 104
Server IC695EIS001 Important Product Information, GFK-2947 for firmware
compatibility.
• PAC Machine Edition configuration and programming software, version 8.50 SIM 9 or
later.
• Serial or Ethernet cable for connecting the PAC Machine Edition programmer computer
to the RX3i CPU.
3.2

RX3i Rack/Slot Hardware Configuration

Use PAC Machine Edition to configure the EIS001 within the host RX3i System. Select a
suitable rack and slot location (Figure 5) and install EIS001 at that location (Figure 6) with
the PAC Machine Edition hardware configuration tool. PAC Machine Edition will check
whether the installed power supply can handle the combined load of the EIS001 and all
other installed modules. All other configuration details, such as which I/O points and
registers to be read or written by the EIS001, are handled as part of the IEC 104 Server
Configuration discussed in Section 3.6 below.
There are no RX3i memory locations explicitly reserved for the use of the EIS001 module.
However, the example logic will use the LAN status bits.

Machine Edition and is downloaded to the RX3i CPU.

Chapter 4. Similarly, its Station Manager parameters are set through PAC Machine
Edition, as documented in PACSystems TCP/IP Ethernet Communications Station
Manager User Manual, GFK-2225.
The IEC 104 Server profile is determined by a COMMREQ instruction that is used to
initialize it. The COMMREQ is executed only once following power-up or restart of the
RX3i system.
