GE EPSCPE100-ABAC

Description

The PACSystems* RSTi-EP EPSCPE100, is an enhanced
performance standalone 1GHz programmable controller
equipped with 1MB of user memory and four Ethernet ports
to run real time deterministic control applications. LAN1 is
dedicated to highspeed Ethernet and LAN2 comprised of 3
switched ports configurable as either an embedded
Ethernet controller or an embedded PROFINET controller,
which provides the PROFINET functionality and supports
only simplex mode of operation. It is a standalone PLC that
supports distributed I/O. From now on in rest of the
document this controller will be referred to as CPE100.

Features at a Glance
The CPE100 is programmed and configured over Ethernet
via GE’s Proficy Machine Edition (PME) software. It can
control/process up to 2K I/O points.
Highlights include:
 A built-in PACSystems RSTi-EP PLC CPU
o User may program in Ladder Diagram,
Structured Text, Function Block Diagram.
o Contains 1Mbytes of configurable data and
program memory.
o Supports auto-located Symbolic Variables that
can use any amount of user memory.
o Reference table sizes include 2k bits for discrete
%I and %Q and up to 2k words each for analog
%AI and %AQ. Bulk memory (%W) also
supported for data exchanges.
o Supports up to 512 program blocks. Maximum
block size is 128KB.
PROFINET controller. All four ports are located on the front panel, as shown in
Figure 1.
 The embedded communications interface has dedicated processing capability,
which permits the CPU to independently support LAN1 and LAN2 with:
o up to 16 combined SRTP Server and Modbus TCP Server connections out
of which Modbus TCP cannot exceed more than 8 connections (or) up to
16 simultaneous SRTP Server connections (or) up to 8 simultaneous
Modbus TCP Server connections.
o 8 Clients are permitted; each may be SRTP or Modbus TCP or a
Combination of both.
o up to 8 simultaneous Class 1 Ethernet Global Data (EGD) exchanges.
o When used in combination for optimal performance, user must not
exceed 4 Channels for Server (Modbus/SRTP) & 4 Channels for client
(Modbus/SRTP), 8 PROFINET nodes and 8 EGD data exchanges.
 Ability to display serial number and date code in PME Device Information Details.
 Operating temperature range -40C to 70C (-40F to 158F).
