Reflective memory technology allows transfer of large amounts of data at speeds up to 20 times faster than Ethernet

　　映射存儲技術（RMX）允許大批量數據以高于以太網20倍的速度傳輸

　　CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, JUNE 3, 2009    GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms, a unit of GE Enterprise Solutions, today announced the introduction of its scalable high availability solution for the company’s industry-leading PACSystems® RX3i controller.  By combining essential processes and capabilities onto one platform, the PACSystems RX3i controller is one of the most powerful, scalable, flexible, and efficient means to increasing productivity.   It now adds high availability to its multi-domain functionality along with logic, motion, HMI, and process control.

　　CHARLOTTESVILLE，VA，2009年6月3日，GE Fanuc智能平臺，GE企業解決方案的一個單元，今天宣布了針對公司主導產業PAC系統RX3i控制器的可升級的高可用性解決方案的引進。通過在一個平臺上對關鍵流程和性能進行組合，PAC系統RX3i控制器成為了增長生產力的最強大的、可升級的、靈活的、有效的途徑。它的多領域功能以及邏輯、動作、HMI和流程控制都被其加入了高效性。

　　Built on a synchronized hot-standby redundant control platform with transparent bumpless process switchover and easy configuration, PACSystems High Availability facilitates continuous uptime in essential applications.

　　基于透明、無擾動過程切換和簡便構造的冗余系統控制平臺，PAC系統的高效性給連續運行中的關鍵應用帶來了很大的便利。

　　GE Fanuc’s PACSystems RX3i High Availability is designed to keep essential systems running efficiently and reliably by connecting two independent controllers on our proven RMX reflective memory technology link providing up to 2 Mbytes of data synchronization.  If an event occurs with the primary controller, the control functionality is automatically switched over to the redundant controller for continuous operations. It serves the needs of applications where continuous uptime is essential to profitability, where bottlenecks must be avoided, remote locations where time and cost to repair is extended, and operations where work stoppage means lost production.  It can be found in areas as diverse as protecting critical information in data warehouses, ensuring water quality at water treatment plants, and keeping the power on for hospitals and surgery centers.

　　GE Fanuc的PACRX3i冗余系統通過在我們經過驗證的RMX映射存儲技術鏈接上連接兩個獨立的控制器提供高達2兆字節的數據同步以此來保持關鍵系統運行的有效性和可靠性。假若主控制器發生一個事件，控制功能將自動切換到冗余控制器實現持續的運行。這就在持續運行對利益率至關重要、必須避免堵塞、檢修時間和成本擴大時遙控地點、工作中斷意味著生產損失等情況下滿足了應用和操作需求。此功能在關鍵信息在數據庫中的保護、水處理廠水質量的保障及醫院和手術室電力的保障等各種各樣的場所都可能被發現使用。

　　With PACSystems High Availability, operations globally are delivering results for a sustainable competitive advantage:

　　◇Minimized downtime through robust, dual redundancy sync link

　　◇Increased productivity due to fast, powerful synchronization and the ability to maintain individual system components without interruption

　　◇Maximum protection of investments with flexible, scalable, open architectures

　　◇Time savings and reduced engineering costs with easy configuration and quick startup and maintenance

　　◇Increased data integrity through advanced memory error checking and correction (ECC)

　　PAC冗余系統，整體操作呈遞結果可持續的有競爭力的優勢

　　◇可靠的雙冗余同步鏈接實現停機時間最短化；

　　◇快速強大的同步及不間斷的維持系統元素個體的能力保證了生產率的增加；

　　◇靈活的、可升級的、開放的結構最大程度的保護了用戶投資；

　　◇簡便的構造以及快速的啟動和維持保證了時間的節省和工程開銷的減少；

　　◇進的存儲錯誤檢測和修正（ECC）保證了數據完整性的增加。

　　PACSystems RX3i offers true dual redundancy data synchronization with dual modules and dedicated, redundant links to one another.  They operate with virtually no overhead added to the control application.  GE Fanuc’s unique, patented Redundant Memory Xchange (RMX) modules, based on reflective memory technology, synchronize the system at the beginning of the input scan and the end of output scan each logic scan execution to keep the controllers in lock step.  Furthermore, the systems can be located up to 300 meters apart to so that any localized event affecting one system does not affect the other.

　　PACRX3i冗余系統提供真實的雙冗余數據同步包括兩個專用的相互冗余鏈接的單元。它們的操作實際上并沒有額外增加控制器負擔。GE Fanuc獨一無二的專利，冗余存儲Xchange（RMX）單元，基于映射存儲技術，和系統在輸入掃描和輸出掃描均保持同步，執行每一個邏輯掃描來保持控制器的鎖步狀態。此外，系統可以安裝在遠離目標達300米的位置，這樣任意局部事件對一個系統的影響不會波及到其他系統。

　　PACSystems High Availability is designed to operate as a single, complete system, therefore eliminating the complex preparations typically associated with synchronizing and data transfer.  Configuration is made easy with a Redundancy Wizard that guides the user in setting up shared data and I/O for both systems in a matter of minutes.

　　PAC冗余系統被設計來操作單個完整的系統，那么就要去除同步和數據轉移等有代表性的復雜準備。冗余向導使得構造簡單，它可以在一分鐘內快速指導用戶設置共享數據和雙系統的I/O。

　　PACSystems’ high speed memory sharing enables CPUs to be synchronized at 2.12 Gbits/second and multiple devices to transfer large amounts of data, up to 2 Mbytes, over a fiber optic deterministic network at speeds up to 20 times faster than Ethernet. The use of fiber optic connections allows users to easily operate in high-noise areas and cover large distances in real time.

　　PAC系統的高速存儲分配使得CPU的同步速度高達2.12G位每秒以及多裝置轉移海量數據的速度高達2兆字節，通過光纖確定性網絡達到這個高于以太網20倍的速度。光纖連接的應用使得用戶在大噪聲環境下也可以簡便的操作，并且實時的覆蓋相當遠的距離。

　　“The PACSystems RX3i High Availability really maximizes return on investment,” said Bill Black, Product Manager for Controllers at GE Fanuc.  “With minimized downtime in process, increased productivity with fast powerful synchronization, reduced engineering costs with easy configuration, and increased data integrity, all in the smaller footprint of the RX3i, customers really see the power of the system.”  Seamlessly integrated into the system, the high availability continues to build out the incredible value of the entire PACSystems RX3i programmable automation controller.

　　“PACRX3i冗余系統確實最大程度的實現了投資的回報。”GE Fanuc控制器產品經理Bill Black如是說，“最短的流程檢修時間，快速強大的同步帶來的生產率增加，簡便構造隨之而來的工程開銷的減少，還有數據完整性的增加，所有這些都作為了RX3i的更小的腳注中，客戶真真實實看到了系統的強大。”高效性和系統的精準整合，持續建立起整個PACRX3i可編程自動控制器的驚人價值。
