3.1
Configuration Tools
•
PACSystems RX3i CPU Firmware 8.00 or later. Refer to PACSystems RX3i Ethernet 104 Server
IC695EIS001 Important Product Information, GFK-2947 for firmware compatibility.
•
Proficy Machine Edition configuration and programming software, version 8.50 SIM 9 or later.
•
Serial or Ethernet cable for connecting the Proficy Machine Edition programmer computer to
the RX3i CPU.
3.2 RX3i Rack/Slot Hardware Configuration
Use Proficy Machine Edition (PME) to configure the EIS001 within the host RX3i System. Select a
suitable rack and slot location (Figure 5) and install EIS001 at that location (Figure 6) with the PME
hardware configuration tool. PME will check whether the installed power supply can handle the
combined load of the EIS001 and all other installed modules. All other configuration details, such as
which I/O points and registers to be read or written by the EIS001, are handled as part of the IEC 104
Server Configuration discussed in Section 3.6 below.
There are no RX3i memory locations explicitly reserved for the use of the EIS001 module. However,
the example logic will use the LAN status bits.
