3 User Issues and Needs > Move Towards Agile Make to Order Production Real-Time Visibility and Control Of Customer Orders Dynamic and Flexible Recipe Execution > Corporate Accountability and Expanding Regulations Expanded and Automated Data Collection > Process Security Ability to Have Back Up Control Operations and/or from Different Locations Keys to Solution: Fast Execution Exhaustive Data Simple Implementation Distributed Architectures Guarded Access Optimum Uptime GE Fanuc s Answer: PACSystems Control Memory Xchange

4 Imagine sharing memory on a wire

5 PACSystems RX7i Control Memory Xchange High speed memory-tomemory communication between multiple distributed systems with no software overhead And here at t µs Written here at t = 0 Appears here at t ns Shared Memory on a Wire -for truly real-time distributed control Appears here at t ns

6 Control Memory Xchange (CMX) Features > 2.12 gigabaud > Transfer rates of 43 Mbyte/s to 174 Mbyte/s versus typical buses: ControlNet 5Mbit/s (500 bytes of data per message) Profibus 12Mbit/s (244 bytes of data per message) Ethernet 100Mbit/s (unlimited message size) > 256 nodes in a ring > Multi-Mode fiber up to 300m > Easy to use - Just Memory, Read it & Write it > Writes are stored in local RAM & immediately broadcast to other nodes > Each network node has a local copy of all the data > Reads access the local data copy > Supports 16mb initially of on board memory > Real-time deterministic data delivery > Data can be shared among systems regardless of processor type, operating system, bus structure > Addition modules available for: 3 rd party standard VME systems PCI and PMC Systems requiring up to 10Km

7 Build different CMX architectures Ring: Star: - Single fiber connection between devices - Use a Control Memory Xchange Hub - Up to 8 ports per Hub Star Ring

8 It s easy to see why CMX will change the way you design control forever > Move large amounts of data in one command, in real-time, for make to order faster production > Design distributed control systems that are easier to build, easier to maintain and more flexible > Not a LAN like Ethernet where security is an issue and don t need the IT department to implement > No messy message protocol, just write it or read it for easy implementation, higher productivity > Independent of operating system and CPU for no load on application

11 PACSystems High Availability when uptime is absolutely essential, part of GE Fanuc Critical Control offering

12 Critical Control Two types of Critical Control > High Availability type of applications Goal: Eliminate Downtime Prevents a system from not functioning (fault tolerant) Application: A system defect should never make the difference between uptime and downtime > Safety type of applications Goal: Eliminate Dangerous Situations Prevents a system from malfunctioning (fail safe) Application: A system defect should never make the difference between a safe and a dangerous situation

13 Typical applications that need high availability > Uptime essential Cranes Metal Processing Cement Ovens Transport Systems Fence Control Water Treatment HVAC of Hospitals / Large Offices Semi Conductor Industry Turbine Auxiliary Bridge / Sluice Airway lighting > Repair Costs High Offshore applications Ships / Buoys / Windmill Pipeline Oil-well auxiliary control Remote Pumping Station Field Access Control Sub Sea applications
