Function: It is used to upgrade RX7i PLCs easily and can communicate over the Ethernet network. It is the core component for realizing high – reliability control in industrial automation systems.
Memory: 10 MB of battery – backed user memory and 10 MB of non – volatile flash user memory.
Communication Interfaces:
Serial Ports: 3 isolated serial ports, including an RS – 232 port, an RS – 485 port, and an Ethernet station manager port (also an RS – 232 port).
Ethernet Ports: Embedded dual RJ – 45 ports, connected by an auto – sensing switch, supporting 10/100 Mbps half/full – duplex Ethernet interface.
Operating Temperature Range: 0°C – 60°C (32°F to 140°F).
Relative Humidity: 5 – 95% (non – condensing).
Functional Characteristics
Redundancy Function: It can be configured as a hot – standby redundancy system. It requires a redundancy memory xchange module (RMX), such as IC 698 RMX 016. One CPU acts as the active unit, and the other as the backup unit, which can ensure the uninterrupted operation of critical applications in case of component failure.
Multiple Communication Support: Supports Ethernet Global Data (EGD), SRTP TCP/IP, Modbus/TCP server and Modbus/TCP client, etc. It also supports Genius bus (including dual – network redundancy), Profibus DP, DeviceNet, etc.
Programming and Configuration: Supports multiple programming languages, and also supports the download and upload of Chinese variable names and Chinese comments. It has a web – based data monitoring function, allowing a total of up to 16 web server and FTP connections.
Error Checking and Correction: Error checking and correction function is available.
Application Scenarios
Manufacturing Industry: In production lines with high – reliability requirements, such as automotive manufacturing, electronic device production lines, etc., it can ensure the stable operation of production equipment and reduce downtime.
Energy Industry: In power plants, substations and other places, it is used for the monitoring and control of power generation, transmission and distribution systems to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid.
Process Control Industry: Such as in chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries, it is used for the precise control of complex process parameters, ensuring the quality and safety of production.
Transportation Industry: In subway, railway and other transportation control systems, it can ensure the reliable operation of traffic signals, train control and other systems.
