Built on a standard embedded open architecture, the new PACSystems RX7i is the first member of the groundbreaking
PACSystems family of programmable automation controllers (PACs). Like the rest of the family, the PACSystems RX7i
features a single control engine and universal programming environment to provide application portability across multiple
hardware platforms, creating a seamless migration path for GE Fanuc customers and delivering a true convergence of
control choices. Designed to address mid- to high-end applications for OEMs, integrators, and end users, the RX7i is
ideally suited for integrated solutions that require open architecture, large memory, distributed I/O, and high performance.
The PACSystems RX7i system addresses your major business issues (performance, productivity, openness, flexibility, and
migration) to help you improve your overall profitability.
Performance – Delivering on the Demands of Your Most Advanced Applications
• Pentium® III CPUs (300mHz and 700mHz)
• VME64 Backplane provides up to four times the bandwidth of existing Series 90™-70 systems
• 10/100 Ethernet built into the CPU, with easy cabling RJ-45 dual ports connected through an auto-sensing switch — no need for additional switches or hubs rack to rack
• 10MB memory for fast execution, storage of the complete program with all documentation (including Excel, Word, PDF, and DXF files) — all in one CPU
• Powerful instruction set supports user-defined function blocks for high-speed algorithms (C programming)
• High-capacity power supplies (100W and 350W) to reduce the requirement for an external supply
Productivity – Maximizing Efficiency of Design and Operation
• One common environment for configuring, programming, commissioning, and maintaining your application with Machine Edition
• One tool for Control, View, and Motion program development
• System Management with Manager provides Version Control, Security Access, and Audit Trail
Openness – Optimizing the Benefits of Market Technology
• Supports VME third-party boards
• Connectivity to globally accepted communications: Ethernet, GENIUS®, Profibus™ and DeviceNet™
• Additional communications options with RS-232 and RS-485 ports
•Web server access with user-defined pages
Flexibility – Leveraging Software and Hardware Platforms for Multiple Generations
• Applications based on IEC 61131 international standards
• Mix languages within the application
• Supports existing Series 90-70 I/O and new I/O in same rack
• Scalability for future generations
Migration – Protecting Intellectual Property and Application Investment
• Same overall controller footprint
• Supports existing Series 90-70 modules, expansion racks, VME modules and GENIUS networks — protecting your hardware investment
• Seamless conversion of Series 90-70 programs for complete protection of application investment
