PAC systems RX3i PLC

The new PAC systems RX3i controller is the latest addition to the innovative PAC systems family of programmable automation controllers (PACs). Like the rest of the family, the PAC systems RX3i features a single control engine and universal programming environment to provide application portability across multiple hardware platforms and deliver a true convergence of control choices. Using the same control engine as the PAC systems RX7i, the new PAC systems RX3i offers a high level of automation functionality in a compact, cost-effective package. The PAC systems portable control engine provides high performance on several different platforms, allowing OEMs and end users with application variability to choose the exact control system hardware that best suits their needs.

PAC systems RX3i Benefits:
The innovative technology of the PAC systems RX3i enables users to:

• Address major engineering and business issues, such as higher productivity and tighter cost control
• Boost the overall performance of their automation systems
• Reduce engineering and commissioning costs
• Easily integrate new technology into installed base systems
• Significantly decrease concerns regarding short-and long-term migration and platform longevity

PAC systems RX3i Features:

• High-speed processor and patented technology for faster throughput without information bottlenecks
• Dual backplane bus support per module slot:
• High-speed, PCI-based for fast throughput of new advanced I/O
• Serial backplane for easy migration of existing Series 90-30 I/O
• Celeron (Pentium III) 300 mHz CPU for advanced programming and performance with 10Mbytes memory
• Memory for ladder logic documentation and machine documentation (Word, Excel, PDF, CAD and other files in future releases) in the controller to reduce downtime and improve troubleshooting
• Open communications support including Ethernet, GENIUS, Profibus, DeviceNet, and serial
• Supports high density discrete I/O, universal analog (TC, RTD, Strain Gauge, Voltage and Current configurable per channel), isolated analog, high-density analog, high-speed counter, and motion modules
• Expanded I/O offering with extended features for faster processing, advanced diagnostics and a variety of configurable interrupts
• Hot insertion for both new and migrated modules
• Isolated 24VDC terminal for I/O modules and a grounding bar that reduces user wiring+
