CPU Processors PACSystems RX3i GE Fanuc IC695CPE302

Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC695CPE302 serves as the primary IC695CPE302 Central Processing Unit utilized to execute real-time control algorithms across PACSystems RX3i platforms. The hardware manages program logic execution, coordinates data mapping registers across the internal universal backplane bus, and hosts native communication interfaces to command downstream input/output expansion racks.

Hardware Specifications

Profinet Networks & Firmware Flash Compatibility

The automation processor utilizes direct memory mappings to sustain high-velocity data transfers with adjacent I/O modules on the RX3i rack structure. The control architecture implements strict firmware flash compatibility checking mechanisms to prevent program misalignment during system initialization phases. This hardware base enforces predictable communication cycles when routing logic states through Profinet / EtherNet/IP deterministic networks, maintaining consistent I/O density scaling profiles across local and remote baseplates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is memory preservation handled on the IC695CPE302 processor during a complete loss of primary rack power?

A: The processor utilizes an external, rechargeable energy pack or a lithium battery pack to supply backup current to the volatile 2 MB RAM matrix, ensuring retained variables and register tables remain static during power disruptions.

Q: Can the IC695CPE302 processor module be extracted or hot-swapped while the universal backplane is energized?

A: No, hot-swapping the primary central processing unit module is prohibited. Disconnect all primary incoming power sources to the backplane chassis prior to removing or inserting the CPU module to prevent hardware damage.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Chassis Positioning: Insert the module exclusively into the designated CPU slot of an RX3i Universal Backplane (IC695CHSxxx). Push the module straight into the chassis until the lower latch mechanism locks completely onto the metal rail.
• Network Termination: Attach standard RJ-45 category 5e or category 6 shielded twisted-pair cables to the embedded Ethernet port. Verify that the outer metallic sleeve of the jack establishes continuous grounding connection with the module port enclosure.
• Energy Pack Auxiliary Connection: Route the dedicated capacitor energy pack lead wire through the internal plastic routing tracks on the module bezel. Plug the keyed terminal plug into the matching socket on the processor side card.
• Data Line Shield Topography: Maintain physical distance between the RS-232 communication cable run and any high-voltage three-phase motor wiring inside the cabinet enclosure to minimize electrical noise induced through cross-talk.
