GE Fanuc IC695CPU320

The IC695CPU320 is a robust Central Processing Unit from GE Fanuc's RX3i PACSystems series, designed for real-time control of machines, processes, and material handling systems. It features an Intel Celeron-M microprocessor operating at 1 GHz, complemented by 64 MB of user RAM and 64 MB of flash memory for storage. The CPU is equipped with two independent serial ports, each occupying a slot on the system base, and supports communication protocols including SNP, Serial I/O, and Modbus Slave. The IC695CPU320 incorporates a dual backplane architecture that supports both RX3i PCI and 90-30-style serial buses, ensuring versatile connectivity options.

In addition to its processing capabilities, the IC695CPU320 provides automatic error checking and correction to enhance system reliability. It integrates seamlessly with Proficy Machine Edition, GE Fanuc's development environment for creating, running, and diagnosing operator interfaces, motion control, and other applications. For troubleshooting, the unit features eight indicator LEDs, each corresponding to specific functions, providing clear feedback on CPU status, output enabling, and communication health. The design of the LEDs and serial ports on the front panel facilitates easy visibility and access. The IC695CPU320 is suitable for environments with operating temperatures ranging from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius and is compatible with both 12-slot and 16-slot backplanes for system expandability.
