1. User Features
The PACSystems* RX3i CPE305
can be used to perform real time
control of machines, processes,
and material handling systems.
The CPU communicates with the
programmer via the internal
Ethernet port or a serial port. It
communicates with I/O and
Intelligent Option modules over a
dual PCI/Serial backplane.
Contains 5 Mbytes of user
memory and 5 Mbytes of nonvolatile flash user memory.
Battery-less retention of user
memory.
Energy Pack IC695ACC400 on
system power loss powers CPU
long enough to write user
memory to non-volatile storage
(NVS).
Configurable data and program
memory.
Programming in Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, and C.
Supports auto-located Symbolic Variables that can use any amount of user
memory.
Reference table sizes include 32Kbits for discrete %I and %Q and up to 32Kwords
each for analog %AI and %AQ.

Supports most Series 90-30 modules and expansion racks. For supported I/O,
Communications, Motion, and Intelligent modules, refer to the PACSystems RX3i
Hardware and Installation Manual, GFK-2314.
Supports up to 512 program blocks. Maximum size for a block is 128KB.
An RS-232 serial port.
Embedded Ethernet interface supports up to 32 simultaneous SRTP Server
connections, up to 16 simultaneous Modbus/TCP Server connections, and up to 16
simultaneous communications channels of either SRTP Channels or Modbus/TCP
Client channels. For details, refer to the PACSystems RX7i & RX3i TCP/IP Ethernet
Communications User Manual, GFK-2224.

1.1. Switches
Pressing this switch initiates RDSD data transfer. (The
three-position switch must be set to Upload or Download.)
Enables/disables RDSD data transfer and selects the
direction of data transfer.
Loads application from CPU to RDSD.
Disables RDSD data transfer.
Stores application from RDSD to CPU.
A three-position switch which operates as follows:
The CPU runs with I/O sweep
enabled.
User program memory is
read only.
The CPU runs with outputs
disabled.
User program memory is
read only.
The CPU is not allowed to go
into Run mode.
User program memory
can be written.
The RDSD and Run Mode switches are located behind the front protective door. The
Reset switch is not used. Switch operation is given in the following table.
Switch Operation
The Run Mode switch can be disabled in the programming software in Hardware
Configuration (HWC). The switch’s memory protection function can be disabled
separately in HWC. The Run Mode switch is enabled by default. The memory
protection functionality is disabled by default.
