The PACSystems RX3i CPL410 is a high-performance edge controller designed for demanding industrial environments. It combines real-time deterministic control with secure Linux-based edge computing, all within a rugged form factor suitable for sectors like water treatment, energy, manufacturing and transportation.
With support for cloud connectivity, local analytics and high-speed I/O, the CPL410 offers a flexible platform for both standalone and distributed automation systems. Whether you’re managing a single asset or coordinating a full fleet, it provides the tools needed to improve uptime, reduce engineering effort and adapt to changing requirements.
- Fast, reliable control
- The CPL410 uses a quad-core 1.2 GHz processor with real-time OS to run complex applications quickly and consistently. It supports PROFINET and other key industrial protocols with I/O update rates as fast as 8ms.
- Edge computing with PACEdge
- Built-in Linux-based PACEdge technology allows local processing, analytics and cloud communication alongside control logic, without interference. This opens up new options for optimisation, diagnostics and secure data sharing.
- Secure by design
- Developed with security in mind, the CPL410 includes features like secure boot, encrypted firmware updates and a Trusted Platform Module. It holds Achilles Level 2 certification and supports standard encryption protocols.
- Flexible architecture
- The controller supports scalable redundancy and is compatible with a wide range of Emerson I/O. It integrates easily into both new systems and existing infrastructure with support for mixed topologies and standard engineering tools.
- Built for harsh conditions
- Designed for extended temperature ranges and certified for use in hazardous locations, the CPL410 is suited to marine, process and remote industrial environments.
