User Features The PACSystems™ RX3i CPE305 can be used to perform real time control of machines, processes, and material handling systems. The CPU communicates with the programmer via the internal Ethernet port or a serial port. It communicates with I/O and Intelligent Option modules over a dual PCI/Serial backplane.

Supports most Series 90-30 modules and expansion racks. For supported I/O, ▪ Communications, Motion, and Intelligent modules, refer to the PACSystems RX3i Hardware and Installation Manual, GFK-2314 Supports up to 512 program blocks (Maximum size for a block is 128KB) ▪...
Switches The RDSD and Run Mode switches are located behind the front protective door. The Reset switch is not used. Switch operation is given in the following table. Switch Operation RDSD Switches Function Start pushbutton Pressing this switch initiates RDSD data transfer. (The three-position switch must be set to Upload or Download.) Three-position switch...
Real-Time Clock Battery The CPE305 is shipped with a real time Figure 1: Real-Time Clock clock (RTC) battery (IC690ACC001) Battery installed, with a pull-tab on the battery. The pull tab should be removed before installing the CPE305. There are no diagnostics or indicators to monitor RTC battery status.
Serial Port The CPE305 provides one RS-232 serial interface to external devices. This port can be used for firmware upgrades. The port is electrically isolated. For serial port pin assignments and details on serial communications, refer to the PACSystems RX3i CPU Reference Manual, GFK-2222. The RS-232 port does not supply the 5 VDC power offered by other RX3i and Series 90-30 CPUs.
Energy Pack The CPE305 preserves user memory using an Energy Pack without the need to periodically replace batteries. The IC695ACC400 Energy Pack powers the CPU long enough for the CPU to write its user memory contents to the CPU’s non-volatile storage during a system power loss. Installation of the Energy Pack is found below.

As the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipment. Emerson Automation Solutions 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.
installing RX3i rack systems, refer to the PACSystems RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314. If you need technical help, contact Technical Support. For phone numbers and email addresses, see the back cover of this Guide. 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 •...
ATEX Zone 2 This product must be mounted in an enclosure certified in accordance with EN60079-15 for use in Zone 2, Group IIC and rated IP54. The enclosure shall only be able to be opened with the use of a tool. Module Installation For initial startup and configuration of the CPE305, complete the following steps.
threaded holes in the bottom of the backplate and screw them several turns using a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Tighten to 0.7 N-m (6 in-lbs.). 5. Mount the Energy Pack on the left side of the module in slot 0 of the rack (typically a power supply).
Initial Configuration 1. Using PAC Machine Edition (PME) software, configure the CPE305 in an RX3i target. Note: If you intend to use the module’s embedded Ethernet interface, you will probably need to assign it a new IP address. To configure the embedded Ethernet interface in Machine Edition, expand the CPU slot to display the Ethernet daughterboard.

2. Go online with the target and download the configuration. You can use one of the following methods for the initial connection to the CPE305: a. Using an IC693CBL316 cable, connect to the module’s RJ-25 RS-232 serial port to the programmer computer. The computer must be equipped with an RS-232 serial port with a standard AT-style nine-pin male D-connector.
