1. User Features

The PACSystems* RX3i CPE330 is a richly
featured programmable controller CPU
equipped with a 1GHz dual-core
microprocessor, 64Mbytes of built-in
program memory and two independent
high-speed Ethernet interfaces. It is ideally
suited for multi-tier communications and for
synchronizing large amounts of data. Its
metal housing provides superior noise
immunity.
The CPE330 is programmed and configured
over Ethernet via GE's Proficy* Machine
Edition (PME) software. It resides in the RX3i
main rack and supports all RX3i I/O and
Intelligent Option modules, up to 32K I/O
points.
• RX3i Hot Standby Redundancy CPU with
support for PROFINET I/O using
IC695PNC001 PROFINET Controllers.
• RX3i Hot Standby Redundancy with
Ethernet (EGD) & Genius I/O.
• Simplex PROFINET I/O Controller with
support for up to 32 I/O devices and update rates of 1 – 512ms. I/O device update rates
of 8ms and faster are possible with 16 or fewer devices. When there are more than 16
devices configured, update rates of 16ms and higher are available.
• Supports two independent 10/100/1000 Ethernet LANs. As shown in Figure 1, LAN1
attaches via the upper, dedicated RJ-45 connector. LAN2 attaches via the lower pair of
