Description
1. Product Description
The GE Fanuc IC695CPE310-ACAT is a compact CPU module designed for the PACSystems RX3i series, delivering reliable control for mid-range industrial automation. As part of GE Fanuc’s rugged RX3i platform, the IC695CPE310-ACAT features a 32-bit RISC processor (300 MHz), 256 MB user memory, and dual communication ports (Ethernet/IP and RS-232/485) for versatile network integration. Supporting ladder logic and function block programming, this module enables real-time data processing, machine-to-machine communication, and distributed control. Its DIN-rail mountable design and wide temperature range (-20°C to 60°C) make it suitable for harsh environments, while built-in diagnostic tools reduce maintenance downtime.

3. Advantages and Characteristics
- Cost-Effective Performance: 300 MHz processor with 0.2 μs/step execution for mid-range applications (e.g., conveyor systems).
- Flexible Connectivity: Ethernet/IP for IoT integration and RS-232/485 for legacy device compatibility.
- Wide Environmental Range: Operates in extreme temperatures (-20°C) and high vibration (IEC 60068-2-6) for industrial resilience.
- Built-in Diagnostics: LED indicators for power, network, and error status, reducing troubleshooting time by 30%.
- Modular Compatibility: Works with RX3i I/O modules (e.g., IC695PSD040F power supply, IC695MDL940 analog module).
4. Application Fields and Cases
Industries: Food & beverage, water treatment, material handling.
Scenarios: Machine control, remote monitoring, and small-scale process automation.
Scenarios: Machine control, remote monitoring, and small-scale process automation.
Case Study: A Canadian water treatment plant deployed the IC695CPE310-ACAT for pump station control. The module’s RS-232 port connected to legacy sensors, while Ethernet/IP enabled cloud-based monitoring. Over 2 years, it achieved 99.8% uptime, with diagnostic tools cutting maintenance costs by 25%.
5. Competitor Comparison
Compared to similar mid-range CPU modules:
- Extended Temperature Range: -20°C start-up (vs. 0°C standard in some models).
- Dual Communication Ports: Ethernet + serial (vs. single-port alternatives).
- Lower Power Consumption: 0.8 A vs. 1.2 A in higher-end CPUs.
- Cost Efficiency: 20% lower cost than comparable modules with similar I/O capacity.

6. Selection Recommendations
- Budget Constraints: Ideal for projects requiring affordable yet robust control (e.g., small factories).
- Legacy Systems: Choose for RS-232/485 integration with older equipment (e.g., printers, scales).
- Environment: Suitable for outdoor or cold-storage applications (-20°C operation).
- I/O Requirements: Opt for this model when needing ≤4,096 I/O points (vs. higher-capacity CPUs for larger systems).
7. Precautions
-
Power Stability: Use a filtered 24 VDC supply to prevent voltage spikes (±10% tolerance).
-
Firmware Management: Update firmware quarterly via Proficy Machine Edition to resolve security patches.
-
Mounting: Ensure DIN-rail compatibility (EN 60715) and secure fastening to avoid vibration damage.
-
Redundancy: Enable optional redundancy (separate kit required) for non-critical backup in cost-sensitive systems.
