Best availability

Can your process controller keep up with system demands? 

Many of today's controllers take ten milliseconds or more

to switchover in the event of a fault or other system event. 

Often controllers are also limited in real I/O connections due to bottlenecks in overall data collection. 

Eliminate delays by combining RX3i and PROFINET to get Gigabit speed everywhere

and bumpless (0 ms) switchover. Choose RX3i High Availability and prevent unexpected failure and costly downtime.

• Simple configuration, maintenance and operation

• Single point of connect no matter what distance

• Fewer external devices to purchase and configure, and fewer spare parts to maintain

• High-speed communication for real-time control

• Advanced asset management with Hart pass-thru I/O

Flexibility and scalability

PACSystems provides a vast amount of I/O, communications, and specialty modules to handle a variety of process and discrete applications. 

It provides one of the best migration paths in the industry with the ability to bring Series 90-30

modules directly into the PACSystems backplane to save rewiring and space. 

In addition, programs move with ease to the new programming and configuration environment, 

Proficy Machine Edition,getting applications up and running in minutes. 

The Build

To validate the project, the project code must be built. This step is also very useful for syntax checking; 

all detected errors can be easily located with a simple mouse-click. The generated code is fully publicly documented and supported. 

The code generator produces the code for each resource.

High performance

Analyze and improve even the most complex application right at the source.

The latest RX3i CPUs now offer multiple processing cores, allowing you to do more with your CPUs. 

A large working memory in every high speed RX3i CPU lets you store more data and access it faster than ever

before. The RX3i offers premier high speed performance and data handling across any multi-disciplined control system. 

Whether you’re accessing consistent gigabit data across the backplane or over fiber,

kilometers away, the RX3i CPUs are built for rapid, reliable performance.

Program development process 

A resource contains several programming units called Program Organization Units (POUs). 

POUs can be programs, functions or function blocks. Programs can be described in any of the five IEC 61131-3 languages plus Flow Chart.

GE Intelligent Platforms understands that equipment builders are continuously looking for 

ways to improve the performance and flexibility of their equipment while reducing size and complexity. 

Fast, easy-to-configure connectivity to GE’s PACSystems controllers and extensive range of I/O 

options enables scalable machine automation and highly distributed modular machine designs. 

The end result is high performance automation for the Industrial Internet.

The Mini Converter Kit consists of an RS-422 (SNP) to RS-232 Mini Converter integrated into a 6 foot (2 meter) serial extension cable,

and a 9-pin to 25-pin Converter Plug assembly. 

The 15-pin SNP port connector on the Mini Converter plugs directly into the serial port connector on the programmable controller. 

The 9-pin RS-232 port connector on the Mini Converter cable connects to an RS-232

compatible device.

Two LEDs on the Mini Converter indicate activity on the transmit and receive lines.

The Converter Plug is required to convert the 9-pin serial port connector on the Mini Converter to

the 25-pin serial port connector on an IC647 computer, an IBM® PC-XT, or a PS/2® Personal Computer.

The IC640 industrial computer requires an additional adapter (not supplied – please contact your local PLC distributor) for use with the Mini Converter.

Tables 1 and 2 list the Mini Converter pinouts. The direction of signal flow is with respect to the Mini Converter.
