Hardware installation

1 Initial Inspection

Check if the shipping container is damaged. If damaged, immediately notify the carrier and keep the container as evidence

Record all serial numbers after unpacking (to be provided during warranty)

Check if the received components match the order, if not, contact customer service

Retain all packaging materials for future transportation

2 Installation location and method

2.1 Requirements for installation clearance

Left and right sides: minimum 50mm

Upper and lower sides: minimum 100mm (meets heat dissipation requirements)

2.2 DIN rail installation (default method)

Tilt the device so that the upper hook of the DIN rail adapter engages with the upper edge of the rail

Press the lower part of the device and hear a "click" sound, indicating that the lower hook is engaged with the lower edge of the guide rail (no additional tools required)

2.3 Panel installation (optional, requires adapter ICMFAACC001-AA)

Secure the panel mounting plate to the back of CPE100 using the 4 M3 screws provided with the adapter

Fix the protruding ears of the panel installation adapter in the corresponding position on the panel with 4 screws (size not exceeding M5)

Screw torque: When installing the adapter, it needs to be tightened to 5.3 in Ibs (0.6 Nm)

2.3 Grounding Requirements

Connect the grounding terminal of CPE100 to the DIN rail using 16-22 AWG braided wire (with terminal block)

DIN rails need to be grounded according to the instructions in the RSTi EP System Manual (GFK-2958)

Module startup

1 Required items for startup

PACSystems RSTi EP CPE100 Controller

Power supply: 9-30V DC, 5W output (must be a Class II power supply, labeled as "double insulated", "limited power supply (LPS)" or SELV power supply, and must have a minimum 32V DC and maximum 3A fuse)

Installation carrier: DIN rail (usually installed inside the cabinet) or optional panel mounting adapter (ICMFAACC001-AA)

Computer: Installed with Proficy Machine Edition (PME) software (version ≥ 9.50 SIM 1)

Ethernet cable: used to connect a computer to CPE100

Screwdriver: 1.4mm size (jeweler's specification, used for terminal operation)

2 Basic installation steps

Ensure that CPE100 is powered off

Choose DIN rail or panel installation method to fix CPE100

Connect power supply:

Wire specification: 22-16 AWG (copper wire, temperature rating 80 ° C)

Wiring length: not exceeding 30 meters

Screw torque: 2 in Ib

Connect Ethernet cable:

LAN1 port: connects computers for programming and protocols (SRTP, Modbus, EGD)

LAN1 port (if required): Connect to PROFINET network (there may be a typographical error in this document, combined with the previous text, it should be LAN2 port, subject to actual configuration)

Power on CPE100

Programming Configuration (EPSCPE100)

1 Basic Programming Requirements

Software version: PME 9.50 SIM 1 and above

Connection method: Connect the computer to CPE100 through LAN1 port, using the default IP address (192.168.0.100)

2 Project Creation and Conversion

New Project: Use the "RSTi-EP CPE100" Template

Existing project conversion: Convert other PLC projects to CPE100 projects through PME's "family conversion" function (constraints should be noted during conversion, such as the first PROFINET controller in the RX3i CPU320 application being assigned to the embedded PROFINET controller function of CPE100)

5.3 PROFINET Controller Configuration

Select the CPE100 target device in the PME navigator and open 'Hardware Configuration'

In the "Settings" tab, change the "Mode" of the LAN2 port to "PROFINET"

After configuration is complete, the PROFINET controller node description will display the existence of PROFINET nodes on the corresponding LAN (refer to the PACSystems RX3i&RSTi EP PROFINET IO Controller User Manual GFK-2571 for detailed operation)

Firmware upgrade process

1 Preconditions for Upgrade

Connection port: Use LAN1 port (default IP 192.168.0.100, can be modified through PME)

Controller status: Set to "stop disabled" mode (operated through programming software or run/stop switch)

PC settings: If using a proxy server, you need to modify the network settings to disable the proxy or automatically configure the proxy script

Firmware file: Download the latest PAC format firmware file from the GE support website (it is recommended to check for a new version before upgrading)

2 Upgrade Steps

Copy the firmware upgrade file (PAC format) to any directory on the computer

Open the browser and enter the programming communication IP of CPE100 (such as http://192.168.0.100 ）Enter the homepage

Login: username "update", password "sierra" (both without quotation marks)

Click on 'Select File', find and select the copied PAC file, and then click 'Open'

Click on 'Upload File' and wait for the upload progress to complete (the upgrade process takes up to 4 minutes, during which power off is prohibited, otherwise the device may not be able to recover)

After the upgrade is completed, CPE100 will automatically reset, and the browser will display the "DONE" status to indicate success; If it fails, an error status will be displayed

After successful upgrade:

Close browser window

Mark the new firmware version on CPE100 (the label cannot cover the ventilation opening)

Restore CPE100 to 'Run Enable' mode through programming software

Product Restrictions (Release 1.0 Version)

Does not support MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol)

Not supporting C Toolkit

Cannot support timed interrupt blocks

RDSD is not supported

Troubleshooting

IP Address Reset and Device Recovery

Applicable scenarios: IP needs to be restored to default value (192.168.0.100), or the device is in an unknown state

Operation steps: When CPE100 is powered on, press and hold the "Run/Stop" button until the device is fully powered on (about 60 seconds)

Effect: IP address restored to 192.168.0.100, while clearing the contents of Flash and RAM
