1.5 Embedded Field Agent (EFA)
The GE Embedded Field Agent
(EFA) is available in two physical form factors: the Mark* VIe controller, which is part of the
ControlST family of products, and the CPE400 controller, which is part of the PACSystems* family of products. The EFA resides in
one of the virtual machines on the controller and uses the Ubuntu® operating system. It comes with Field Agent software including
Predix Machine pre-integrated and ready to enroll in Predix EdgeManager. While the EFA is essentially configured the same way
as an MFA, there are different Application and Configuration templates provided for the EFA. For instance, because the EFA has
more memory and a higher-performance CPU compared to the MFA, it can retain more “Store and Forward” buffered data in the
event of temporary loss of communications to the cloud. Therefore, the Store and Forward configuration files for the MFA and EFA
are different.
1.5.1 Mark* VIe IS420UCSCH1A CPU w/ Field Agent
The Mark* VIe UCSC EFA uses the IICS Cloud Port (found on the bottom of the UCSC) to both communicate to controllers to gather
data, as well as to connect to the Predix Cloud. For more information about the UCSC itself, please see
GEH-6721_Vol_II Mark* VIe
and Mark* VIeS Control Systems, Volume II: General-purpose Applications.
1.5.2 PACSystems IC695CPE400 RX3i Rackless CPU w/ Field Agent
The CPE400 EFA uses the EFA Port (found on the bottom of the CPE400) to connect to the Predix Cloud. It uses an internal virtual NIC
to communicate with the controller to gather data. The CPE400 also contains a display, which is described in the EFA HW Instructions
portion of this document. For more information about the CPE400 itself, please see
PACSystems RX7i & RX3i CPU Reference Manual,
GFK-2222Y
or later.
