User Features
Figure 1: CPE400 Features at a Glance
The PACSystems* RX3i CPE400, part of GE’s Industrial Internet Control System, is the
industry’s first outcome optimizing controller. It augments real-time deterministic
control with Field Agent technology, delivering near real time advice through market
analysis, fleet and enterprise data, or asset/process knowledge to optimize the
outcomes that today’s businesses require. The Predix™ enabled CPE400 provides
reliable, secure communication and analytics using either cloud-based or edge-
based outcome optimizing apps. Controls can now be programmed to dynamically
influence business outcomes, generate new forms of revenue, and improve
profitability.

GFK-3002A October 2017 2
•The stand-alone CPE400 uses a 1.2GHz quad-core microprocessor and real-time
hypervisor technology to run real time deterministic control applications
concurrently with Field Agent technology without any adverse impact of one
over the other.
•A built-in RX3i PLC:
oUser may program in Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block
Diagram, or C.
oContains 64Mbytes of configurable data and program memory.
oSupports auto-located Symbolic Variables that can use any amount of user
memory.
oReference table sizes include 32k 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 size for a block is 128KB.
•Field Agent technology is a platform for securely applying Predix applications
and secure connectivity to the Predix Cloud as well as running edge apps.
Running the Field Agent concurrently with the real-time control applications
allows the CPE400 to rapidly leverage external data. External monitoring may be
used to analyze and optimize entire business operations. The analysis can then
be used to dynamically adjust real-time industrial controls to align with changing
business objectives in today’s Industrial Internet age.
•Supports four independent 10/100/1000 Ethernet LANs. Three are located on the
front panel, as shown in Figure 1. LAN1 attaches via the upper, dedicated RJ 45
connector. LAN2 and LAN3 each attach via a pair of internally-switched RJ 45
connectors. The fourth LAN, labeled EFA (Embedded Field Agent), is located on
the underside (Figure 2), and is specifically used for Field Agent connectivity (see
Field Agent bullet just above).
•The embedded communications interface has dedicated processing capability,
which permits the CPU to independently support LAN1 and LAN2 with:
oup to 48 simultaneous SRTP Server connections;
oup to 16 simultaneous Modbus/TCP Server connections;
o32 Clients are permitted; each may be SRTP or Modbus/TCP.
oOPC UA Server with support for up to 5 concurrent sessions with up to
10 concurrent variable subscriptions and up to 12,500 variables;
oup to 255 simultaneous Class 1 Ethernet Global Data (EGD) exchanges.

3 IC695CPE400 Rackless CPU w/Field Agent Quick Start Guide GFK-3002A
•The embedded PLC may use one or both of the Ethernet LAN2 ports to support
the embedded Simplex PROFINET I/O Controller. PROFINET supports up to 32 I/O
devices with update rates of 1 –512ms. I/O device update rates of 8ms and
faster are possible with 16 or fewer devices. Update rates of 16ms and higher
result whenever more than 16 devices are configured.
•Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) allows the CPE400 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 CPE400 may be used as either a Media
Redundancy Manager or Media Redundancy Client.
•Effective with firmware release 9.30, the CPE400 supports Hot Standby
Redundancy with PROFINET IO. In this configuration, LAN3 is used as a high-
speed data synchronization link between the two redundant CPUs. Only the
Primary and Secondary CPUs may be attached to LAN3. Two OLED menu items
support Redundancy operation: RDN Info and RDN Command. The RACT and
RBOK LEDs reflect the status of the Redundant CPUs.
•Effective with firmware release 9.30, the CPE400 supports two independent
Redundant IP addresses, one for LAN1 and one for LAN2. LAN2 Redundant IP is
supported when configured for Ethernet mode only. Redundant IP is supported
by the SRTP Server, Modbus TCP Server, and EGD protocols. It is not possible to
use Redundant IP with the OPC UA Server or with the Ethernet firmware update
web page.
•The CPE400 is secure by design, incorporating technologies such as Trusted
Platform Modules, secure boot, and encrypted firmware updates.
•Optional Energy Pack, IC695ACC403, allows CPE400 to instantly save user
memory to non-volatile storage in the event of loss of power.
•OPC UA Sweep Mode & Sweep Time: The CPE400’s sweep mode and sweep time
are available through the OPC UA server. The Sweep Mode variable reports the
controller’s current mode: Stop Disabled, Run Enabled, Stop Enabled,
Run Disabled, Stop Faulted, and Stop Halted. The Sweep Time variable reports
the sweep time in seconds. These variables are located under
GE Device Information -> PACSystems RX3i -> Controller.
•An OLED display that provides access to basic CPE400 status and control
information including each LAN’s configured IP Address.
•Operating temperature range -40C to 70C (-40F to 158F).
•Alternate panel-mount adaptor plate included.

Front-Panel Ethernet Ports
LAN1 connects to the uppermost RJ45 connector (Figure 1). It is not switched.
LAN2 connects to the middle two RJ45 connectors (Figure 1). These two ports are
switched internally.
LAN3 connects to the two lower RJ45 connectors (Figure 1). These two ports are
switched internally. LAN3 may only be used to supply a high-speed synchronization
link between the Primary and Secondary CPUs in Hot Standby Redundancy. Both
ports are typically used, as described in the PACSystems Hot Standby CPU
Redundancy User Manual, GFK-2308 (revision L or later).
Each of the embedded Ethernet interfaces automatically senses the data rate
(10 Mbps or 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps), communications mode (half-duplex or full-duplex),
and cabling arrangement (straight-through or crossover) of the attached link. LEDs
embedded in each RJ45 connector provide indications per the table above.
LAN1 or LAN2 may be used to communicate with the PME programming software
using the Service Request Transport Protocol (SRTP, a proprietary GE protocol, used
primarily for communication with the programmer).
To establish Ethernet communications between the PME programming and
configuration software and the CPU, you first need to know the target IP address. Use
the OLED menu function to check the IP Address. The factory-shipped default settings
are:

Hardware Installation
Initial Checks
Upon receiving your equipment, carefully inspect all shipping containers for damage.
If any part of the system is damaged, notify the carrier immediately. The damaged
shipping container should be saved as evidence for inspection by the carrier.
As the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for
damage incurred during shipment. GE will fully cooperate with you, however, should
such action be necessary.
After unpacking the equipment, record all serial numbers. Serial numbers are
required if you should need to contact Customer Care during the warranty period. All
shipping containers and all packing material should be saved should it be necessary
to transport or ship any part of the system.
Verify that all components of the system have been received and that they agree
with your order. If the system received does not agree with your order, contact
Customer Care.
Installation
As shipped, the CPE400 is intended for mounting on a DIN rail. A panel-mount
adaptor is also available. If panel-mounting is required, replace the DIN-rail adaptor
with the panel-mount adaptor using the screws supplied with that adaptor. Both
adaptors attach to the rear of the CPE400 chassis using four Torx M3 screws. Torque
newly-installed screws to 5.3 in-Ibs (0.6 Nm) if installing a new adaptor plate.
For installation to standards, refer to the Installation and Maintenance Requirements
document, GFK-3004.
Note the thermal requirements for mounting the equipment (Figure 3).
Mount on the DIN rail per Figure 4. (1) Incline the unit so that the upper hooks of the
DIN rail adaptor engage with the upper edge of the DIN rail. (2) Press on the lower
part of the unit until you hear a click. The click indicates that the lower hooks of the
DIN rail adaptor have engaged with the lower edge of the DIN rail.

Connect to Power Supply
The 24Vdc power input connector is located on
the underside of the CPE400, as shown in Figure 8.
The signal pinouts are also indicated.
The mating connector for the CPE400 24Vdc
power input is the 3-pin Phoenix 1827716 shown
in Figure 9. The power supply cable prepared by
the user must use the specified mating connector.
The positive “+” and negative “-“ signals are
required. FGND is optional, but recommended.
For the mating connector, the compatible
conductor size is from 24AWG to 16AWG. Strip the
wires back 7mm before inserting into the
connector. Tightening torque for the three signal
screws is 2.2 in-Ibs (0.248Nm). Secure the mating
connector to the power input connector via the
two captive screws provided.
The user-supplied SELV3power supply must
supply voltage in the range of 18Vdc to 30Vdc.
Once the power supply cable (or compatible
Energy Pack ACC403) has been attached to the
CPE400 and the power supply has been turned on,
the unit will start booting. There is no need to push
any button.
The unit is equipped with built-in reverse polarity
protection. If + and - are swapped the unit will not
power-up. If + is connected to FGND, this will
cause a short. The power supply needs to protect
itself against this condition.

SELV = Safety Extra Low Voltage

GFK-3002A October 2017 14
Overvoltage protection
In the CPE400, the voltage to the inner loads is clamped to 33Vdc. At 33Vdc, the
internal clamping diode starts conducting at 1mA. Any further increase in the voltage
will cause the internal current fuse to blow and/or the clamping diode to break.
•CAUTION –EQUIPMENT REPAIR REQUIRED –Internal components must be
repaired at the factory; they are not field replaceable. Contact the GE
support team at https://ge-ip.force.com/communities/CC_Contact
Overcurrent protection
The function protects the internal circuitry from overcurrent conditions before serious
damage can occur, such as overheating of the equipment. The fuse is rated for 4A
continuous current. Once the sensed current reaches 40A, the fuse will blow after a
period of 10ms to 100ms.
•CAUTION –EQUIPMENT REPAIR REQUIRED –Internal components must be
repaired at the factory; they are not field replaceable. Contact the GE
support team at https://ge-ip.force.com/communities/CC_Contact
Grounding
Grounding via the FGND connection on the 3-pin 24Vdc In power header is
recommended (see section 2.4), but is not required if the CPE400 is mounted to a
grounded metal panel. Furthermore, if an Energy Pack is connected, be sure to
comply with grounding procedures as described in PACSystems RX3i Rackless Energy
Pack IC695ACC403 Quick Start Guide, GFK-3000.

GFK-3002A October 2017 16
Basic Start-up Steps:
For startup and configuration of the CPE400, complete the following steps. For full
details on CPE400 operation, refer to the PACSystems RX3i and RX7i CPU Reference
Manual, GFK-2222Y or later.
1. Mount the CPE400, as described in Section 2.2 and per the Installation and
Maintenance Requirements document, GFK-3004.
2. Attach the user-supplied power supply cable as described in Section 2.4 if no
Energy Pack is being used.
3. (optionally) Mount and attach the compatible Energy Pack, IC695ACC403, as
described in the PACSystems RX3i Rackless Energy Pack IC695ACC403 Quick Start
Guide, GFK-3000.
4. Turn on the power supply unit: the unit should then run without the need to press
any buttons.
5. If not previously configured, configure the RX3i PLC using PME 9.00 SIM 8 or later,
as described in the Configuration section below.
Note: When the ACC403 Energy Pack is powered up, a finite period is required to
charge it up to its operating level. During this time, the Energy Pack will
indicate this condition via its LEDs (refer to the PACSystems RX3i Rackless
Energy Pack IC695ACC403 Quick Start Guide, GFK-3000).
The CPE400 will begin its boot cycle immediately upon power application.
However, the embedded controller will not start its control until the ACC403 is
charged. This typically takes 45 seconds or less. In the event the ACC403 is
faulty or is not communicating, CPE400 commences operation without the
Energy Pack.
Note: In the event of loss of power, with the ACC403 Energy Pack connected and
charged up, the CPE400 remains on for 4 seconds to backup user memory
into its non-volatile memory.
