Chapter 2. CPU Features & Specifications
GFK-2222AD April 2018 37
• Effective with firmware version 9.30, the CPE400 supports Hot Standby Redundancy with PROFINET
IO. In this configuration, LAN3 is used as a high-speed data synchronization link between the two
redundant CPUs. Only the Primary and Secondary CPUs may be attached to LAN3. Two OLED menu
items support Redundancy operation: RDN Info and RDN Command. The RACT and RBOK LEDs reflect
the status of the Redundant CPUs. Refer to the PACSystems Hot Standby CPU Redundancy User
Manual, GFK-2308 for details and restrictions.
• Effective with firmware version 9.30, the CPE400 supports two independent Redundant IP
addresses, one for LAN1 and one for LAN2. LAN2 Redundant IP is supported when configured for
Ethernet mode only. Redundant IP is supported by the SRTP Server, Modbus TCP Server, and EGD
protocols. It is not possible to use Redundant IP with the OPC UA Server or with the Ethernet
firmware update web page.
• Effective with firmware version 9.40, the CPE400 Serial Port (COM1) is supported. Refer to Section
2.2.1.13.
• The CPE400 is secure by design, incorporating technologies such as Trusted Platform Modules,
secure boot, and encrypted firmware updates.
• Optional Energy Pack, IC695ACC403, allows CPE400 to instantly save user memory to non-volatile
storage in the event of loss of power. Upon restoration of power, with the ACC403 connected, the
CPE400 PLC function is able to resume operations from the state saved at power-down.
• OPC UA Sweep Mode & Sweep Time: The CPE400’s sweep mode and sweep time are available
through the OPC UA server. The Sweep Mode variable reports the controller’s current mode:
Stop Disabled, Run Enabled, Stop Enabled, Run Disabled, Stop Faulted, and Stop Halted. The
Sweep Time variable reports the sweep time in seconds. These variables are located under
GE Device Information -> PACSystems RX3i -> Controller.
• An OLED display that provides access to basic CPE400 status and control information including each
LAN’s configured IP Address.
• Alternate panel-mount adaptor plate included.
• Achilles Level 2 Communications Certification
