5. Installation
5.1 Pre‑Installation
Disconnect all power from the RX3i rack and peripherals.
Verify target slot (CPU slot, typically Slot 1–2) is empty and backplane undamaged.
5.2 Rack Installation
Align module with RX3i rack’s CPU slot (occupies 2 slots).
Insert firmly until backplane connector is fully seated.
Secure module with front‑panel screws (torque 0.8–1.0 N·m).
Connect serial cables to COM1/COM2 as required.
Restore power; verify CPU OK LED illuminates.
5.3 Redundancy Setup
Install two IC695CRU320 modules (Primary/Backup) in separate racks.
Connect redundancy links via IC695RMX128/228 modules (fiber/copper).
Configure network settings in Proficy Machine Edition.
6. Programming & Configuration
6.1 Software
Use Proficy Machine Edition Logic Developer – PLC v4.0+
Supports IEC 61131‑3 languages: Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, and C
6.2 Basic Configuration Steps
Create a new RX3i project in Machine Edition.
Select IC695CRU320 as the CPU type.
Configure redundancy mode (Primary/Backup) and sync links.
Set serial port protocols (Modbus RTU/SNP).
Write/download user program to CPU flash.
Set Mode Switch to RUN; verify RUN LED is solid.
7. Operation
7.1 Power‑On Sequence
Apply power to the RX3i rack; CPU OK LED lights.
CPU runs self‑diagnostics (CPU OK blinks during test).
On successful test, CPU OK solidifies; RUN LED lights (if mode = RUN).
Redundancy sync initializes (if configured); backup module mirrors primary.
7.2 Normal Operation
Executes user program synchronously with I/O refresh.
Maintains real‑time clock and data logging.
Synchronizes data with backup module (redundancy mode).
Communicates with HMI/SCADA via serial ports.
7.3 Redundancy Failover
Trigger: Primary CPU fault, power loss, or manual switchover.
Action: Backup CPU takes over in <3.133 ms; outputs remain active.
Recovery: Resolved primary auto‑resyncs with backup; no downtime.
8. Maintenance & Troubleshooting
8.1 Preventive Maintenance
Monthly: Inspect LED status; clean vents with low‑pressure air.
Quarterly: Tighten module screws and cable connections.
Annual: Replace RTC battery (CR2032); verify flash memory integrity.
8.2 Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| CPU OK LED Off | No backplane power; faulty PSU | Check RX3i power supply; reseat module |
| SYS FLT LED On | Redundancy sync failure; config error | Verify RMX module connection; check project config |
| BATTERY LED Blinking | Low RTC battery | Replace CR2032 battery |
| COM1/COM2 No Activity | Wrong protocol; wiring error | Check serial protocol (Modbus RTU/SNP); verify TX/RX wiring |
| Redundancy Switchover Failure | Incorrect sync link; node ID conflict | Verify RMX module compatibility; check node ID settings |
9. Safety Precautions
Electrical Hazard: Backplane voltage can be lethal; disconnect power before servicing.
ESD Protection: Use anti‑static wristband when handling the module to avoid damage.
Temperature: Do not operate outside 0–60 °C; ensure adequate ventilation.
Redundancy: Test failover regularly to ensure system reliability.
10. Warranty & Support
Warranty: 12 months from delivery (defects in materials and workmanship).
Support: Contact Emerson Automation Solutions for technical assistance, repairs, or firmware updates.
