RUN LED is not illuminated on 

the Series 90-30 power supply 

for an RX3i remote/expansion 

rack with input modules only 

(releases earlier than 6.70).

For firmware version 6.70 and later, the RUN LED for a remote/expansion rack reflects the 

current IO enable/disable state (even when there are no output modules in the expansion 

rack).

The RUN LED for a remote/expansion rack with only input modules works as follows for all 

versions prior to version 6.70: 

When a remote or expansion baseplate is used with the RX3i, the RUN LED on the Series 

90-30 power supply for that baseplate is illuminated when the system is in Run mode only 

if the rack contains at least one output module. If the rack contains input modules only, 

the RUN LED is not illuminated. This is due to the way input modules are managed in the 

PACSystems design and does not indicate an error.

Undefined symbols in C blocks If an attempt is made to download a C block containing undefined symbols, the download 

will fail. Machine Edition will display the following message in the Feedback Zone: Error 8097: 

Controller Error – Controller aborted the request [0x05][0xFF]

Prior to Release 5.00, C blocks containing undefined symbols could be successfully 

downloaded, but if they were executed the CPU would transition to Stop/Halt mode.

For details, see C Toolkit Compatibility.

Length of serial I/O buffer The Set Up Input Buffer Function always allocates a buffer containing 2049 bytes. This is one 

byte more than previous PACSystems releases. 

Changing IP Address of 

Ethernet interface while 

connected

Storing a hardware configuration with a new IP address to the RX3i while connected via 

Ethernet will succeed, then immediately disconnect because the RX3i is now using a different 

IP address than the Programmer. You must enter a new IP address in the Target Properties in 

the Machine Edition Inspector window before reconnecting.

Duplicate station address for 

Modbus will conflict with 

other nodes

The default serial protocol for the RX3i is Modbus RTU. The default Station Address is 1. If the 

RX3i is added to a multi-drop network, care must be taken that the RX3i is configured with a 

unique Station Address. Nodes with duplicate Station Addresses on the same network will not 

work correctly
