Structure and Composition

Core Processing Unit

• A multi-core processor (e.g., ARM Cortex-A9) running a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), ensuring low latency (≤1ms) for control tasks.

Communication Interface Board

• Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (supporting redundant ring networks), RS-485 (for Modbus RTU), and USB 3.0 (for program downloading).

Backplane Bus Interface

• A high-speed parallel bus that can expand RX3i series I/O modules (e.g., IC693ALG390 analog module).

Power Management Module

• Wide voltage input (24V DC) with built-in reverse connection protection and surge suppression.

Status Indicators

• LEDs displaying power, communication, operation status, and fault codes (e.g., CPU overload).

Metal Enclosure

• Made of aluminum alloy, providing EMI shielding and heat dissipation functions.
