User Features
The PACSystems™ RSTi-EP EPSCPE100 (or CPE100), is an enhanced performance
standalone 1GHz programmable controller equipped with 1 MB of user memory and
four Ethernet ports. It is designed to run real-time, deterministic control applications
and supports distributed I/O.
LAN 1 is a dedicated high-speed Ethernet port. LAN 2 is comprised of 3 switched ports
configurable as either an embedded Ethernet controller or an embedded PROFINET
controller supporting PROFINET simplex mode. All four ports are located on the front
panel, as shown in Figure 1.
The CPE100 is programmed and configured over Ethernet via PAC Machine Edition
(PME) software. It can control/process up to 2K I/O points.
Features include:
•A built-in PACSystems RSTi-EP PLC CPU
oUser may program in Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, or Function Block
Diagram.
oContains 1Mbytes of configurable data and program memory.
oSupports auto-located Symbolic Variables that can use any amount of user
memory.
oReference table sizes include 2k bits for discrete %I and %Q and up to 32k
words each for analog %AI and %AQ. Bulk memory (%W) also supported for
data exchanges.
oSupports up to 512 program blocks. Maximum block size is 128KB.
•The embedded communications interface has dedicated processing capability,
which permits the CPU to independently support LAN 1 and LAN 2 with:
oUp 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.

3 PACSystems™ RSTi-EP EPSCPE100 Standalone CPU Quick Start Guide GFK-3012E
o8 Clients total are permitted and may be a combination of SRTP or
Modbus/TCP.
oUp to 8 simultaneous Class 1 Ethernet Global Data (EGD) exchanges.
oWhen used in combination for optimal performance, use must not exceed
4 Channels for Server (Modbus/SRTP) and 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.
•Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) allows the CPE100 to participate in a
PROFINET I/O network with MRP ring technology. This eliminates the I/O
network as a single point of failure. The CPE100 may be used as either a Media
Redundancy Manager or Media Redundancy Client.
•OPC UA Server supports up to 2 concurrent sessions with up to 4 concurrent
variable subscriptions and up to 1000 variables.
•Modbus RTU Slave and Serial, I/O support on two serial ports i.e. RS-232 and RS-
485 with both 2-wire and 4 -wire interface. These ports are located on the
underside side of the controller and does not provide any type of isolation.
•Operating temperature range -40 °C to 70 °C (-40 °F to 158 °F).
•Supports 32-bit C blocks compiled with the C Toolkit Version 8.10 or later. All
pre-existing C blocks must be recompiled before downloading.
•Supports Authorized Firmware Update feature. Users may now authorize access
to firmware updates using a custom password. Details are included in the
revised firmware update instructions.

Membrane Run/Stop Pushbutton
The Membrane Run/Stop push button is located at the
bottom right of the front panel (see Figure 1). Pressing
it briefly, will change the state of CPU from the state it
is in to the next state. It acts as a toggle switch, as
shown in the following state diagram:
The Run/Stop switch is
enabled by default; it
can be disabled in PME

settings.
LED Indicators (LEDs)
Ethernet Status Indicators
For each port of LAN1 and LAN2, there are two LEDs (Yellow/Green) embedded in the
RJ-45 connectors. The green LED indicates an Ethernet connection has been
established on that port. The yellow LED indicates packet traffic on that port.
Module Status Indicators
As shown at right, there are three LEDs located
at the bottom right of the front panel (Figure 2),
just below the Membrane Push Button.
The following tables describe the behavior of
each module LED:

LED
LED State
Operating State (at Power-Up)
RUN
Blinking; All
other LEDs off
This LED indicates the status of PLC during powering
up. It starts blinking 6 seconds after applying power to
the PLC and remains in this state for up to 15 seconds.
After this all LEDs turn off and will remain in this state
until PLC is ready.
LED
LED State
Operating State (after Power-Up)
OK
On Green
PLC has passed its power-up diagnostics and is
functioning properly.
Off
Power is not applied, or PLC has a problem.
Blinking; All
other LEDs
off
PLC in STOP/Halt state; possible watchdog timer fault. If
the programmer cannot connect, cycle power and refer
to the fault tables. Refer to the section entitled
Troubleshooting for more details
RUN
On Green
PLC is in RUN mode.
Off
PLC is in STOP mode.
Blinking; All
other LEDs
off
Indicates that PLC has encountered a fatal error and is
blinking the error code.
Fault
On Red
PLC is in STOP/Faulted mode: a fatal fault has occurred.
Refer to the section entitled Troubleshooting for more
details.
Off
No fatal faults detected.

Ethernet Ports
CPE100 provides two independent Fast Ethernet LANs. LAN1 has only one port and is
dedicated to the embedded Ethernet controller. LAN2 is comprised of 3 switched
ports, each configurable either as a second embedded Ethernet controller or as an
embedded PROFINET controller. Use PME to configure the operation of the ports.
All the Ethernet ports of both the LAN1 and LAN2 are capable of automatically sensing
the link data rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), communications mode (half-duplex or full-
duplex), and cabling arrangement (straight-through or crossover).
To establish Ethernet communications between the PME programming software and
the CPE100, you first need to set a valid IP address.
CPE100
LAN1
LAN2
Default IP Address:
192.168.0.100
0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
0.0.0.0
Gateway:
0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0
Note:
•LAN2 will not be operational unless it is configured from the programmer with a valid
IP address.
•Care must be taken when assigning IP Addresses and subnet masks to each LAN so that
an overlapping IP subnet is not created. Intermittent or no Ethernet communication may
result if an overlapping IP subnet is created and the two interfaces are NOT connected
(cabled) to the same physical network.
•By default, PME prohibits configuring both LAN interfaces on an overlapping IP subnet.
(This may be changed by going to Controller General Options and changing the Multiple
Embedded LANs on Same Subnet to Show as Warning.)

Typical Network Application
A typical application will take advantage of the two independent LANs. The dedicated
LAN1 port will be used for communications with plant-level or supervisory layers. The
switched LAN 2 will be used to communicate with devices over PROFINET within the
manufacturing cell or process.
