New RX3i NIU Plus for Remote I/O - Wednesday, June 08, 2011

The PACSystems* RX3i Ethernet NIU PLUS, IC695NIU001, makes it possible to use PACSystems RX3i and Series 90-30 I/O remotely on an Ethernet network.  The RX3i NIU Plus is backward compatible with the RX3i NIU Classic. 
Once set up by configuration, data exchange is completely automatic. System control can be provided by any master device capable of exchanging Ethernet Global Data (EGD). The Ethernet NIU automatically provides the controller with status information in each exchange. The application program logic in the controller can monitor this status data, and issue appropriate commands to the Ethernet NIU.

Features of the Ethernet NIU Plus:
• New Features in Release 6.80 firmware supports display of module hardware revision, serial number and date code when online with Machine Edition Logic Developer software version 6.50 or later. To access this information, select Online Commands, Show Status and then click the Details button
• RX3i Universal Backplane (IC695CHS0xx)
• Battery backed Real Time Clock
• PACSystems RX3i and/or Series 90-30 modules supported
