Brief Overview Brief Overview Woodward’s RP-3000XT is a touch screen remote control and annunciation panel for use with the easYgen-3000XT series con‐ trols. It is particularly useful with the back panel mounted easYgen-3100XT/3400XT, providing control from the front panel with greatly reduced wiring to the access door, while keeping high voltage connections located safely on the back panel.

A typical application for the remote panel is to control back-panel mounted easYgen-XT devices. In this case, the RP-3000XT provides control from the front panel with considerably reduced wiring effort. The high-voltage connections are located safely on the back panel at the easYgen-3000XT.
Display And Status Indicators RP-3000XT display Fig. 3: Display The display (Fig. 3) as part of the RP-3000XT is used for direct access to status information and configuration. The touch screen of the Remote Panel XT allows to push the blue buttons directly at the display while easYgen-XT devices work with soft keys (dis‐...

The following chapter describes some ETHERNET network issues that are essential to ensure that the system works fine connecting the RP-3000XT and the easYgen-3000XT Series candidate. The RP-3000XT displays the IP address and the device name of the available devices. Woodward recommends to use IP addresses that allow to identify the devices easily e.g., ...
