Charlottesville, VA —Introduced at NMW 2003, PACSystems family of controllers contains an engine built on standard embedded architecture using commercial, deterministic operating systems, making the engine portable to multiple platforms and allowing users to choose the hardware and programming language that best suits each application. The system supports distributed I/O through Ethernet, Profibus, DeviceNet, and Genius networks. GE Fanuc’s Cimplicity Machine Edition software provides the engineering development environment for programming, configuration, and diagnostics. High-performance RX7i is the first PACSystems platform to be released (slated for 2Q03). VME64 based RX7i offers four-times the speed of existing PLC backplanes and up to 10 MB of memory usable for programming and documentation storage.
