Product Description of IC695CPE310

The IC695CPE310 is a CPU in the GE Fanuc PACSystem RX3i Series. The CPU can perform real-time control of machines, processes, and material handling systems. It communicates with I/O and Intelligent Option modules over a dual-purpose PCI and serial backplane.

IC695CPE310 has a 1.1 GHz Atom processor and 10 MB of memory. Its embedded Ethernet interface accommodates two connections rated for 10Mb/sec and 100Mb/sec. It also has RS-485 and RS-232 serial ports. The module supports up to 512 program blocks, each of which can be as large as 128 KB. IC695CPE310 comprehends the Modbus RTU Slave, SNP, and Serial I/O protocols, while using the SNP protocol to communicate with human-machine interface (HMI) devices.

You can program the IC695CPE310 in Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, C, or Function Block Diagram programming languages. Labeled LED indicators on the unit housing can be green, red, off, or blinking when the unit is powered up. This makes troubleshooting efficient, and lets you verify system status at a glance.

IC695CPE310 can be installed in any pair of slots in the main RX3i controller rack except for the slots with the two highest numbers on them.

The processor in IC695CPE310 is approximately three times faster than the 300 MHz Celeron processor in the otherwise-similar model C695CPU310 . You can upgrade from CPU310 to CPE310 without changing legacy PME software. Please note that if you do decide to upgrade to CPE310 from CPU310, then the RS-232 port on CPE310 does not provide 5V power on pin 5.

Technical Specifications of IC695CPE310

The IC695CPE310 is equipped with a 1.1 Gigahertz Atom processor and 10 Megabytes of RAM. It is inbuilt Ethernet interface that supports two 10 Megabytes/sec and 100 Megabytes/sec connections. It also has serial ports for RS-485 and RS-232. The module may accommodate up to 512 blocks, each of these blocks can be up to 128 KB in size. The IC695CPE310 implements the SNP, Modbus RTU Slave and Serial Input/Output protocols, and communicates with (HMI) devices via the SNP protocol.

Programming languages for the IC695CPE310 include Structured Text, Ladder Diagram, C, and Function Block Diagram. When the device is powered up, the labeled LEDs (light emitting diodes) may light up green or red, or be off or blinking.

The IC695CPE310's processor is nearly 3 times faster than that of the Intel Celeron processor, which runs at 300 Megahertz. You can switch up from the CPU310 to the CPE310 without affecting the PME software. If you want to update from CPU310 to CPE310, keep in mind that the RS-232 interface on the CPE310 does not support 5V power on pin 5. SRAM and Flash memory are included in the IC695CPE310 CPU module, as well as 10 MB of user memory for storing program data.

At 3.3 volts direct current or 5 volts direct current backplane voltage ratings, the IC695CPE310 CPU module uses 1 ampere of current, while at 24 volts direct current backplane voltage levels, it requires 0.5 amperes. The RX3i PacSystems IC695CPE310 CPU must be housed inside a RX3i PacSystems control system. It should be placed on the system's central backplane.
