RSTi-EP CPE115

Programmable Automation Controller

The demand for improved asset
performance and productivity is
increasing in manufacturing and
infrastructure markets. They require
even smaller applications with robust
execution performance and a range
of connectivity options to real-time
application status information and
diagnostics.

GE’s Automation & Controls has
designed a small form factor, high
performance controller that enables
equipment builders to improve
performance and flexibility of their
machines while reducing size,
complexity, and cost.

Small footprint. Big Impact.

Leverage the power and flexibility of
PACSystems in smaller applications. RSTi­EP CPUs make it possible to incorporate
the entire PACSystems programming suite
in stand-alone applications or as auxiliary
control in larger process applications
that use RX3i. This simplifies training for
operators and maintenance workers and
streamlines application development and
integration.

CPE115 supports real-time application
status, remote diagnostics and:

• Dual LAN interfaces with four Ethernet
ports

• Built-in RS-232 serial port

• Support for a range of communications
protocols, including PROFINET

• Support of DNP3 Outstation capability for
Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) applications.

• Up to 1.5 MB of non-volatile user memory

All in just 1.5” (38.1mm) of DIN rail space.

Speaking the same language

With CPE115, you can use the same
runtime as existing RX3i controllers and
leverage existing application libraries
and templates while scaling footprint
and performance for smaller application
installations. Fast, easy-to-configure

PACSystems technology and an extensive
range of I/O options support scalable
automation and highly distributed modular
machine designs.

PROFINET advantage

PROFINET I/O solutions from GE can
provide productivity and performance
advantages for virtually any type of
control application in a range of industries.
PROFINET supports a variety of I/O without
compromising system performance and
can operate in high-noise environments.
Connect to any of GE’s purpose-built I/O
families through a PROFINET interface for
advanced flexibility and performance.

Advanced security

Without proper cybersecurity in place,
industrial controls may be vulnerable
to cyber threats. GE enlists defense-in­depth architecture to help secure assets
from these threats. The RSTi-EP CPE115
incorporates technologies such as Trusted
Platform Modules and secure, trusted, and
measured boot. Centralized configuration
allows encrypted firmware updates to be
executed from a secure central location.
And, a suite of cybersecurity technology
and tools help prevent unauthorized
updates while built-in security protocols
help protect against man-in-the middle and
denial of service attacks.

FEATURE BENEFIT

• Latest CPU features integrated System-on-Module processor for reduced latency and
more precise data or I/O control.

High performance

• Full PACSystems library of programming capabilities helps enable quick and convenient
application development.

• Store large amounts of data for better system statistics and analysis.

• Store application files right on the control for fast access to drawings, debug or startup
information, operational notes, and more.

Simplification

• Built-in multiport switch reduces I/O wiring cost and installation time.

• Three-port switch allows for I/O network redundancy via Media Redundancy Protocol and a
connection for local HMI without extra networking equipment.

• Secure-by-design features include Trusted Platform Module and Measured Boot technology to
enable encrypted, digitally signed firmware updates and help stop attempts to introduce malware
onto the CPU. These same technologies are included on the PACSystems RX3i product line.

Security

• Achilles Level 2 certification indicates that it meets industry standards for reliability and
communications robustness.

• Role-based access control assigns user privileges based on pre-defined levels of authorization,
enhancing system security.

• Open standard for high-speed I/O connectivity.

PROFINET distributed
I/O connectivity

• Support for Media Redundancy Protocol for robust operation.

• Replace devices without the need to reconfigure them for improved uptime.
