Enhancements for PAC

GE Fanuc Automation has announced the

availability of two new application solution modules

for its PACSystems RX3i controller: the RX3i Serial

Communications Module and the RX3i High Speed

Counter.

There are two RX3i Serial Communications

Modules, one provides two independent, isolated

serial ports and the other provides four independent,

isolated serial ports. Up to six modules can be

located in the main PACSystems RX3i backplane. In

addition, each port can be configured for MODBUS

Master, MODBUS Slave, or Serial I/O protocol.

CCM and DNP 3.0 Master/Slave are planned for

first half 2007.

The RX3i High Speed Counter can be configured

for a wide range of counter types, comes in 4-

channel and 8-channel versions, and provides direct

processing of rapid pulse signals up to 1.5 MHz (32bit)

for industrial control applications. The modules can

sense inputs, process input count information and

control outputs without burdening the CPU. www.gefanuc.com
