Selection & Buying Guide

• Verify that your version of Proficy Machine Edition supports the CPE305 firmware version.
• The 7-slot rack allows for 4-5 additional modules; calculate your final I/O density requirements.
• Ensure your cabinet layout accounts for the heat dissipation profile of the RX3i AC power supply.
• Identify if your application requires an Energy Pack for capacitor-backed memory retention.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• How does the PROFINET integration in this kit differ from standard Ethernet/IP?
• PROFINET on the RX3i platform provides sub-millisecond deterministic data exchange for synchronized motion.


• Is the memory in the included CPU sufficient for large-scale SCADA integration?
• The CPE305 features 5MB of user memory, supporting mid-to-large applications with several thousand I/O points.


• Can I mix older Series 90-30 modules with this 7-slot base?
• The RX3i universal backplane supports many 90-30 modules, but native RX3i modules are recommended for PROFINET.


• What is the best way to back up the logic in the IC695STK010?
• We recommend using the onboard flash memory for permanent storage to prevent data loss during long-term outages.


• What diagnostic software is required for this specific kit?
• Commissioning requires Proficy Machine Edition (PME) for full hardware diagnostics and logic programming.
