Information About IC695CPE310

The IC695CPE310, belonging to the GE Fanuc PACSystem RX3i Series, serves as a central processing unit (CPU) engineered for real-time control applications within industrial environments. It facilitates control over machines, processes, and material handling systems while communicating seamlessly with I/O and Intelligent Option modules via a dual-purpose PCI and serial backplane.

Equipped with a 1.1 GHz Atom processor and 10 MB of memory, the IC695CPE310 features an embedded Ethernet interface supporting two connections rated for 10Mb/sec and 100Mb/sec. Additionally, it incorporates RS-485 and RS-232 serial ports, enhancing its connectivity capabilities.

The module supports up to 512 program blocks, with each block capable of reaching a size of 128 KB. It comprehends various communication protocols, including Modbus RTU Slave, SNP, and Serial I/O, leveraging the SNP protocol for communication with human-machine interface (HMI) devices.

Programming the IC695CPE310 is flexible, supporting Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, C, or Function Block Diagram languages. Labeled LED indicators on the unit housing provide visual feedback, enabling efficient troubleshooting and system status verification.

Installation of the IC695CPE310 is versatile, permitting placement in any pair of slots within the main RX3i controller rack, excluding slots with the two highest numbers.

In terms of performance, the processor in the IC695CPE310 outpaces the 300 MHz Celeron processor found in the otherwise-similar model C695CPU310 by approximately three times. Users can seamlessly upgrade from CPU310 to CPE310 without altering legacy PME software. However, it is noteworthy that the RS-232 port on the CPE310 does not provide 5V power on pin 5, which may affect certain applications.
