PACSystems™ RX3i and RSTi-EP CPU Reference Manual Section 1
GFK-2222AK October 2019
Introduction 9
▪ Effective with the release of IC695GCG001, the RX3i may be equipped to control a
Genius Bus. The RX3i interface to the Genius Gateway is managed by the PROFINET
Controller, IC695PNC001. Refer to PACSystems RX3i Genius Communications Gateway
User Manual, GFK-2892.
▪ Effective with the release of IC695EDS001, the RX3i may be configured as a DNP3
Outstation. Refer to PACSystems RX3i DNP3 Outstation Module IC695EDS001User’s
Manual, GFK-2911.
▪ Effective with the release of IC695EIS001, the RX3i may be configured to act as an
IEC 104 Server. Refer to PACSystems RX3i IEC 104 Server Module IC695EIS001 User’s
Manual, GFK-2949.
▪ PROFINET Scanner User Manual, GFK-2883.
▪ HART Pass Through allows an RX3i CPU to communicate HART asset management
data between HART-capable I/O modules and PC-based asset management tools.
This entails usage of PC-based applications, RX3i Analog modules with HART
functionality and (optionally) supporting PROFINET products. HART Pass Through
operation is described in the PACSystems HART Pass Through User Manual, GFK-2929.
▪ The following RX3i CPUs support HART Pass Through: IC695CPE305, IC695CPE310,
IC695CPU315, IC695CPU320, IC695CRU320, IC695CPE330
(firmware version
8.50 or later). All versions of IC695CPE302
11
support this feature.
The following RX3i analog modules support HART:
IC695ALG626
IC695ALG628
IC695ALG728
If used for HART Pass Through, the supporting RX3i PROFINET Controller and PROFINET
Scanner must also contain HART-compatible firmware:
IC695PNC001-AK firmware version 2.20
IC695PNS001-ABAH firmware version 2.30
IC695PNS101-AAAA firmware version 3.10
IC695CEP001-AAAD firmware version 2.30.
▪ IC695CMM002 and IC695CMM004 expand the serial communications capability of
the RX3i system. Refer to PACSystems RX3i Serial Communications Modules User’s
Manual, GFK-2460.
▪ CPE310, CPU310, CPU315, CPU/CRU320 and NIU001 provide two serial ports, one
RS-232 and one RS-485.
IC695PNS001 firmware version 2.41 added support for the Remote Get HART Device Information COMMREQ not previously supported, as
documented in PACSystems RX3i PROFINET Scanner Important Product Information, GFK-2738L. The syntax and usage for this COMMREQ are
described in the PACSystems RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314M or later.
