Installation and Maintenance Tips
-
Hardware Installation:
- Secure with M3×6 stainless steel screws (torque: 0.8–1.0 N·m) for EMI continuity.
- Redundant systems require IC695CPU-SYNC cables (≤10 m length).
-
Software Configuration:
- Use Proficy Machine Edition v9.2+ for initial setup and drag-and-drop AI model deployment.
- Update security policies quarterly via GE Digital Security Portal.
-
Preventive Maintenance:
- Replace RTC battery (CR1220) every 2 years for ±10ppm clock accuracy.
- Monitor memory usage; upgrade if sustained >80% capacity.
