Any of the embedded Ethernet ports may be used to communicate with the PME programming software using the Service Request Transport Protocol (SRTP, a proprietary GE protocol, used primarily for communication with the programmer). To establish Ethernet communications between the PME programming and configuration software and the CPU, you first need to set an IP address.

Figure 2: Typical Multi-tier LAN Application A typical application will take advantage of the two independent LANs. The dedicated LAN1 port will be used for communications with plant-level or supervisory layers. The switched LAN2 will typically be used to communicate with devices within the manufacturing cell or process, including local HMI devices and micro-controllers.
As the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipment. GE’s Automation & Controls will fully cooperate with you, however, should such action be necessary. After unpacking the RX3i equipment, record all serial numbers. Serial numbers are required if you should need to contact Customer Care during the warranty period.
2.3. Installation in Hazardous Areas The following information is for products bearing the UL marking for Hazardous Areas or ATEX marking for explosive atmospheres: CLASS 1 DIVISION 2 GROUPS ABCD • This equipment is an open-type device and is meant to be installed in an enclosure suitable for the environment that is only accessible with the use of a tool.
Note: on lightly-loaded racks, use IC695PSA040H or later, or IC695PSA140D or later, otherwise power-up may be unsuccessful. Alternately, fill out the empty slots in the rack so as to draw more current. PACSystems* RX3i 1GHz 64MB CPU w/Ethernet Quick Start Guide GFK-2941E...
IC695ACC402 Quick Start Guide, GFK-2939. Secure the two retention flat-head screws with a very small slotted screwdriver. 3. Set the pair of hook tabs at top rear of the CPU module into two adjacent notches on the alignment rail of the RX3i rack backplane. This aligns the module with the intended slots in the main rack and with the right-side connector of this pair.
Hold down the RDSD UPLD button and turn power on to the CPE330. Continue to depress the RDSD UPLD button until the CPE330 powers up and displays one of the following patterns on the LEDs. PACSystems* RX3i 1GHz 64MB CPU w/Ethernet Quick Start Guide GFK-2941E...

3.6. Removable Data Storage Device (RDSD) The CPE330 user program and/or memory contents may be saved to a USB device via the RDSD UPLD pushbutton or loaded into the CPU from a USB device via the RDSD DNLD pushbutton. Similarly, data can be selected and saved. In this way, an application may be cloned and copied from one device to another.
