• Single point of connect no matter what distance

• High-speed communication for real-time control

• High Availability support for maximum up-time

Introduction

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 Emerson’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.

High Performance

Analyze and improve even the most complex application right at the source. The latest RX3i Controllers now offer multiple

processing cores, allowing you to do more with your Controllers. A large working memory in every high-speed RX3i Controllers

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 speed data across the

backplane or over fiber, kilometers away, the RX3i Controllers are built for rapid, reliable performance.

PROFINET Advantage

PROFINET® I/O solutions can provide productivity and performance advantages for virtually any type of control application

in a range of industries. Connect to any of Emerson’s purpose-built I/O families through a PROFINET interface for advanced

flexibility and performance.

Best Availability

Can your process controller keep up with system demands?

Many of today’s controllers take hundreds of milliseconds or more to switch over 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 switchover.

Choose RX3i high availability and prevent unexpected failure and costly downtime.

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

Secure by Design

With defense-in-depth architectures and security built in, we secure assets from potential cyber threats to protect our

customers’ most important assets. RX3i Controllers prioritize security with technologies such as Trusted Platform Modules

(TPM) and digitally signed firmware. Understanding industrial controls are constant targets of cyber threats, we’ve also

designed all RX3i Controllers to protect against harmful man-in-the-middle and denial- of-service attacks as indicated by

Achilles Level 2 Certifications. Encrypted communications are executed through pre-installed, pre-licensed OPC UA while a

broad suite of cyber-security tools help prevent unauthorized updates.
