Description

The ICRXICTL000 is a high-performance distributed I/O controller module developed within the PACSystems RXi platform by GE Fanuc (GE Intelligent Platforms). Equipped with a dual-core COMExpress CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and up to 64 GB of internal flash data storage, this controller is designed to manage sophisticated control logic and local long-term data retention through an internal industrial-grade SSD. The module supports diverse logic execution including Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and Structured Text (ST) instructions. Operating over high-speed networks, the ICRXICTL000 utilizes a high-speed Interconnect Bus that allows combinations of real-time machine control alongside dedicated operating system applications. For persistent user memory protection, it interfaces directly with an external Energy Pack or Capacitor Pack to write data securely to non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) during sudden power-down events.

Features

• Powered by a dual-core COMExpress CPU for deterministic, high-speed execution.
• Embedded with 2 GB RAM and up to 64 GB internal flash data storage with an industrial-grade SSD.
• Built-in high-speed Interconnect Bus enabling co-processing of control and secondary OS applications.
• Programmed and configured via Proficy Machine Edition (PME) software.
• Supports standard PACSystems languages including Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and Structured Text (ST).
• Interfaces with dedicated Energy Packs to safeguard volatile control registers during thermal or electrical disruptions.

Applications

• Distributed I/O network control and coordination
• Industrial automation and processing lines
• Decentralized machine-level automation architectures
• Embedded co-processing and computing applications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the primary enclosure or chassis has proper thermal management to support steady convection cooling for the embedded CPU.
• Connect a compatible and fully charged Energy Pack (such as the ICRXIACCEPK01) to the designated interface prior to initial power-up to allow valid user memory preservation.
• Do not cycle primary power to the controller module while firmware or hardware configuration updates are actively writing to local flash memory.
• Set the local IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address parameters correctly within Proficy Machine Edition before deploying the hardware configuration to the network.
