▪
HART Pass Through allows an RX3i CPU to communicate HART asset management data between
HART-capable I/O modules and PC-based asset management tools. This entails usage of PC-based
applications, RX3i Analog modules with HART functionality and (optionally) supporting PROFINET
products. HART Pass Through operation is described in the
PACSystems HART Pass Through User
Manual
, GFK-2929.
The following RX3i CPUs support HART Pass Through: IC695CPE305, IC695CPE310, IC695CPU315,
IC695CPU320, IC695CRU320, IC695CPE330
6,7
(firmware version 8.50 or later). All versions of
IC695CPE302
support this feature.
The following RX3i analog modules support HART:
IC695ALG626
IC695ALG628
IC695ALG728
If used for HART Pass Through, the supporting RX3i PROFINET Controller and PROFINET Scanner
must also contain HART-compatible firmware:
IC695PNC001-AK firmware version 2.20
IC695PNS001-ABAH firmware version 2.30
8
IC695CEP001-AAAD firmware version 2.30.
▪
IC695CMM002 and IC695CMM004 expand the serial communications capability of the RX3i system.
Refer to
PACSystems RX3i Serial Communications Modules User’s Manual
,
GFK-2460.
▪
CPE310, CPU310, CPU315, CPU/CRU320 and NIU001 provide two serial ports, one RS-232 and one
RS-485.
▪
CPE400 (firmware version 9.40), CPE302 and CPE305 each provides one RS-232 serial port.
▪
CPE330 provides no serial ports.
▪
Effective with CPE302 firmware version 9.40

, CPE305/CPE310/CPE400
10
firmware version 9.20, or
CPE330 firmware version 9.21, the CPE embedded Ethernet interface supports Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) Client, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and Daylight Savings Time (DST). Refer to
PACSystems RX7i, RX3i and RSTi-EP TCP/IP Ethernet Communications User Manual,
GFK-2224
version Q or higher.
▪
Effective with RX3i firmware version 9.40, the Authorized Firmware Update functionality is available.
Users may now authorize access to firmware updates using a custom password. Details are included
in the revised firmware update instructions.
6
When used to support HART Pass Through, CPE330 must do so via a PNC001 and cannot employ its embedded PROFINET
feature for this purpose.
7
IC695CPE330 firmware version 8.95 added support for the
Remote Get HART Device Information
COMMREQ.
8
IC695PNS001 firmware version 2.41 added support for the
Remote Get HART Device Information
COMMREQ not previously
supported, as documented in
PACSystems RX3i PROFINET Scanner Important Product Information
, GFK-2738L. The syntax
and usage for this COMMREQ are described in the
PACSystems RX3i System Manual
, GFK-2314M or later.
9
Proficy Machine Edition Release 9.50 SIM 7 or later is required for CPE302 configuration.
10
Proficy Machine Edition Release 9.00 SIM 10, or 9.50 SIM 2, or later is required for SNTP Client, UTC, and DST support.
