Description
GE Fanuc IC695CPU320HU VersaMax High-Performance PLC CPU
The IC695CPU320HU is a high-performance programmable logic controller (PLC) CPU from GE Fanuc’s VersaMax series, designed for industrial automation, machine control, and process optimization. Engineered for rapid decision-making and seamless integration, this module delivers 0.08 μs/1K instruction processing speed, 256 MB user memory, and built-in EtherNet/IP & Modbus RTU connectivity, making it ideal for complex manufacturing, energy, and water treatment applications.
1. Product Overview
The IC695CPU320HU serves as the brain of VersaMax systems, supporting 16,000 I/O points (expandable via VersaMax I/O modules) and real-time data exchange with HMIs, SCADA, and cloud platforms. Its hot-swap capability and -40°C to +70°C operating range ensure reliability in harsh environments. Key features include IEC 61131-3 programming (Ladder Logic, Structured Text), dual Ethernet ports for network redundancy, and secure firmware updates via GE’s Proficy Machine Edition.

6. Selection Recommendations
- I/O Requirements: Choose IC695CPU320HU for >8,000 I/O points; downsize to IC695CPU310 for small systems.
- Environment: Opt for the -HU variant (宽温设计) for outdoor/extreme temperature use; standard models for indoor.
- Network Needs: Use dual Ethernet ports for redundancy in critical systems (e.g., oil refineries).
7. Installation & Maintenance Notes
- Wiring: Ground the module to a dedicated earth point (≤10 Ω) to reduce EMI.
- Cooling: Ensure 20 mm airflow clearance around the CPU in high-temperature environments.
- Firmware Updates: Apply quarterly updates via Proficy Machine Edition to patch security vulnerabilities.
