The PACSystems™ RX7i main racks have 18 single-width VME slots. Slot 0
supports two power supply modules: IC698PSA100 and IC698PSA350. Slots 1 and
2 are used to house a double-width CPU. PACSystems™ RX7i supports two CPUs
IC698CPE010 (300 mHz) and IC698CPE020 (700 mHz). The PACSystems™ RX7i
communicates through Ethernet only and the CPU has an embedded Ethernet
adapter. In addition to the Ethernet adapter, up to three IC698ETM001 Ethernet
modules can be installed in a PACSystems™ RX7i main rack. The Ethernet
modules occupy only one slot. All of the IC698 modules are supported only on the
main racks.
PACSystems™ RX7i supports several Series 90™-70 modules. Each one is double-
width, that is, it occupies two slots on the main rack, but it occupies only one slot
on a Series 90™-70 expansion rack. You can plug double-width modules into any
two adjacent slots of the main rack except slots 0, 1, or 2. Because slot 17 is a
double-width slot, any module in slot 17 occupies only slot 17. Slot 17 can also
accept a single-width module.
PACSystems™ RX7i supports the following Series 90™-70 bus expansion
modules:
■
IC697BEM711
■
IC697BEM713
In addition to the Series 90™-70 support, PACSystems™ also supports numerous
Genius devices.
Configuring PACSystems™ RX7i Hardware
When you create a target with a PACSystems™ RX7i rack system, the default HWC
consists of the main rack, with a power supply in slot 0 and a single CPU in slots 1
and 2. You can change the default power supply and CPU, and add single-width
or double-width modules. You can add up to seven secondary racks, and on each
of these, you can add Series 90™-70 modules.
Note: On PACSystems™ RX7i targets, only one rack is added by default. On Series
90™-70 and Series 90™-30 PLCs, seven secondary racks are added by default to
the HWC. You do not need to add them.
The configuration of the PACSystems™ RX7i is detailed in the following
procedures. Configuration procedures for the other PLC types supported by Logic
Developer - PLC are almost identical.
