Secure by Design

With defense-in-depth architectures and security built in, we secure assets from potential cyber threats to protect our

customers’ most important assets. RX3i Controllers prioritize security with technologies such as Trusted Platform Modules

(TPM) and digitally signed firmware. Understanding industrial controls are constant targets of cyber threats, we’ve also

designed all RX3i Controllers to protect against harmful man-in-the-middle and denial- of-service attacks as indicated by

Achilles Level 2 Certifications. Encrypted communications are executed through pre-installed, pre-licensed OPC UA while a

broad suite of cyber-security tools help prevent unauthorized updates.

PROFINET Advantage

PROFINET® I/O solutions can provide productivity and performance advantages for virtually any type of control application

in a range of industries. Connect to any of Emerson’s purpose-built I/O families through a PROFINET interface for advanced

flexibility and performance.

Best Availability

Can your process controller keep up with system demands?

Many of today’s controllers take hundreds of milliseconds or more to switch over in the event of a fault or other system event.

Often controllers are also limited in real I/O connections due to bottlenecks in overall data collection. Eliminate delays by

combining RX3i and PROFINET to get gigabit speed everywhere and bumpless switchover.

Choose RX3i high availability and prevent unexpected failure and costly downtime.

Flexibility and Scalability

PACSystems provides a vast amount of I/O, communications, and specialty modules to handle a variety of process and discrete

applications. It provides one of the best migration paths in the industry with the ability to bring Series 90-30 modules directly

into the PACSystems backplane to save rewiring and space. In addition, programs move with ease to the new programming

and configuration environment, PAC Machine Edition, getting applications up and running in minutes.

Introduction

Equipment builders are continuously looking for ways to improve the performance and flexibility of their equipment while

reducing size and complexity. Fast, easy-to-configure connectivity to Emerson’s PACSystems controllers and extensive range

of I/O options enables scalable machine automation and highly distributed modular machine designs. The end result is high

performance automation for the industrial internet.

One Runtime. One Tool Chain.

Since the PACSystems RSTi-EP CPE200 compact controllers

use the same runtime as existing RX3i controllers, users can

leverage their 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 native I/O options support scalable

automation and highly distributed modular machine designs.

That’s why in addition to supporting traditional IEC 61131

languages, the RSTi-EP CPE200 compact controllers also

natively support C, one of the world’s most popular and

easiest-to-use programming languages. This makes it faster

and easier for more engineers to write and run the high-

performance algorithms that enable proprietary production

strategies and advanced automation technologies.

Labor Saving Open Programming

and Fleet Management

For many companies, expert technical talent is hard to find,

hard to keep, and expensive. To combat this triple threat,

an effective strategy when it comes to automation is to seek

solutions which not only save time but can also be effectively

used by a larger talent pool.

That’s why in addition to supporting traditional IEC 61131

languages, the RSTi-EP CPE200 compact controllers also

natively support C, one of the world’s most popular and

easiest-to-use programming languages. This makes it faster

and easier for more engineers to write and run the high-

performance algorithms that enable proprietary production

strategies and advanced automation technologies.

Another labor-saving feature is the capability to execute

fleet-wide application commissioning and updates without

ever connecting a laptop. Simply store application variables

to an SD card from User Logic to enable portable individual

unit tuning parameters on standardized machine control

application deployments.  Use these for deploying

standardized tuning parameters across a set of machines

or for toolless controller replacement in the unlikely

event of a failure.
