GE Fanuc IC695CPK330

The IC695CPK330 is a high-performance Central Processing Unit designed for use within the GE Fanuc PACSystems RX3i Series. This compact CPU features an integrated energy pack and an RJ-45 Ethernet port, supporting data rates of 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps. The energy pack plays a crucial role in preserving volatile memory during power outages, allowing the controller sufficient time to transfer data from volatile to non-volatile memory, thus safeguarding user configurations. In scenarios where the controller is set to initiate from RAM, the user memory is seamlessly restored once power is reinstated.

The IC695CPK330 is powered by a robust 1 GHz dual-core processor and includes 64 MB of user logic memory (RAM), ensuring efficient operation and processing capabilities. Its design occupies a minimal footprint, utilizing only two slots on a universal backplane for installation. The maximum output from the energy pack is 45 Watts, and the firmware for the energy pack is periodically updated automatically by the controller during the power-up sequence.

To ensure optimal functionality and longevity, it is recommended to install the energy pack in locations shielded from direct sunlight, moisture, and corrosive gases, and to position it nearby the controllers it supports with a maximum cable length limitation of one meter (approximately three feet). The IC695CPK330 is fully compatible with Proficy Machine Edition software from GE, enabling advanced programming and operation of automated systems. This unit also supports multiple serial protocols, including Modbus RTU Slave and SNP Slave, along with enhanced communications through its dual Ethernet interfaces.
