User Features
Figure 1: CPE400 Features at a Glance
The PACSystems* RX3i CPE400, part of GE’s Industrial Internet Control System, is the
industry’s first outcome optimizing controller. It augments real-time deterministic
control with Field Agent technology, delivering near real time advice through market
analysis, fleet and enterprise data, or asset/process knowledge to optimize the
outcomes that today’s businesses require. The Predix™ enabled CPE400 provides
reliable, secure communication and analytics using either cloud-based or edgebased outcome optimizing apps. Controls can now be programmed to dynamically
influence business outcomes, generate new forms of revenue, and improve
profitability.
GFK-3002A October 2017 2
• The stand-alone CPE400 uses a 1.2GHz quad-core microprocessor and real-time
hypervisor technology to run real time deterministic control applications
concurrently with Field Agent technology without any adverse impact of one
over the other.
• A built-in RX3i PLC:
o User may program in Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block
Diagram, or C.
o Contains 64Mbytes of configurable data and program memory.
o Supports auto-located Symbolic Variables that can use any amount of user
memory.
o Reference table sizes include 32k bits for discrete %I and %Q and up to 32k
words each for analog %AI and %AQ. Bulk memory (%W) also supported for
data exchanges.
o Supports up to 512 program blocks. Maximum size for a block is 128KB.
• Field Agent technology is a platform for securely applying Predix applications
and secure connectivity to the Predix Cloud as well as running edge apps.
Running the Field Agent concurrently with the real-time control applications
allows the CPE400 to rapidly leverage external data. External monitoring may be
used to analyze and optimize entire business operations. The analysis can then
be used to dynamically adjust real-time industrial controls to align with changing
business objectives in today’s Industrial Internet age.
• Supports four independent 10/100/1000 Ethernet LANs. Three are located on the
front panel, as shown in Figure 1. LAN1 attaches via the upper, dedicated RJ 45
connector. LAN2 and LAN3 each attach via a pair of internally-switched RJ 45
connectors. The fourth LAN, labeled EFA (Embedded Field Agent), is located on
the underside (Figure 2), and is specifically used for Field Agent connectivity (see
Field Agent bullet just above).
• The embedded communications interface has dedicated processing capability,
which permits the CPU to independently support LAN1 and LAN2 with:
o up to 48 simultaneous SRTP Server connections;
o up to 16 simultaneous Modbus/TCP Server connections;
o 32 Clients are permitted; each may be SRTP or Modbus/TCP.
o OPC UA Server with support for up to 5 concurrent sessions with up to
10 concurrent variable subscriptions and up to 12,500 variables;
o up to 255 simultaneous Class 1 Ethernet Global Data (EGD) exchanges.

• The embedded PLC may use one or both of the Ethernet LAN2 ports to support
the embedded Simplex PROFINET I/O Controller. PROFINET supports up to 32 I/O
devices with update rates of 1 – 512ms. I/O device update rates of 8ms and
faster are possible with 16 or fewer devices. Update rates of 16ms and higher
result whenever more than 16 devices are configured.
• Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) allows the CPE400 to participate in a
PROFINET I/O network with MRP ring technology. This eliminates the I/O network
as a single point of failure. The CPE400 may be used as either a Media
Redundancy Manager or Media Redundancy Client.
• Effective with firmware release 9.30, the CPE400 supports Hot Standby
Redundancy with PROFINET IO. In this configuration, LAN3 is used as a highspeed data synchronization link between the two redundant CPUs. Only the
Primary and Secondary CPUs may be attached to LAN3. Two OLED menu items
support Redundancy operation: RDN Info and RDN Command. The RACT and
RBOK LEDs reflect the status of the Redundant CPUs.
• Effective with firmware release 9.30, the CPE400 supports two independent
Redundant IP addresses, one for LAN1 and one for LAN2. LAN2 Redundant IP is
supported when configured for Ethernet mode only. Redundant IP is supported
by the SRTP Server, Modbus TCP Server, and EGD protocols. It is not possible to
use Redundant IP with the OPC UA Server or with the Ethernet firmware update
web page.
• The CPE400 is secure by design, incorporating technologies such as Trusted
Platform Modules, secure boot, and encrypted firmware updates.
• Optional Energy Pack, IC695ACC403, allows CPE400 to instantly save user
memory to non-volatile storage in the event of loss of power.
• OPC UA Sweep Mode & Sweep Time: The CPE400’s sweep mode and sweep time
are available through the OPC UA server. The Sweep Mode variable reports the
controller’s current mode: Stop Disabled, Run Enabled, Stop Enabled,
Run Disabled, Stop Faulted, and Stop Halted. The Sweep Time variable reports
the sweep time in seconds. These variables are located under
GE Device Information -> PACSystems RX3i -> Controller.
• An OLED display that provides access to basic CPE400 status and control
information including each LAN’s configured IP Address.
• Operating temperature range -40C to 70C (-40F to 158F).
• Alternate panel-mount adaptor plate included.

OLED Display
The monochrome organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display (Figure 1) is used to
display CPE400 system menus. It interacts with the DISP pushbutton, which jogs the
cursor from one menu item to the next, and with the SEL pushbutton, which activates
the currently indicated menu item for further action.
The OLED display permits the user to:
• Display Ethernet LAN Settings: IPv4 address.
• Display the PLC firmware revision.
• Set/view PLC mode and view sweep time.
• Set the PLC mode to RUN/STOP with I/O Enabled/Disabled via the display.
Note: the RUN and STOP pushbuttons activate the PLC Mode menu items per
Section 1.1.
• View whether all, some, or none of the PROFINET I/O devices are connected.
• Display EFA Settings: IPv4 address, subnet mask, gateway, MAC address,
IPv6 address.
• Issue Field Agent Commands: Enter/Exit Configuration mode, Clear
Configuration, Perform factory reset.
• View Field Agent Status: Off, Starting, Connecting, Connected, Connected-ACT.
• View HSB Redundancy Mode and State (Release 9.30 and later)
• Command an HSB Redundancy Role Switch (Release 9.30 and later)
