GE PACSystems RX3i IC695CPU315 Central Processing Unit Module

The IC695CPU315 is an advanced 1 GHz central processing unit module belonging to the Emerson/GE Fanuc PACSystems RX3i automation platform. Developed for demanding computational tasks, machine control, and material handling systems, this controller utilizes an Intel Celeron-M microprocessor to achieve fast cycle times and deterministic execution.

A defining feature of the IC695CPU315 is its integration with the RX3i dual backplane bus. This innovative design allows it to communicate simultaneously with high-speed PCI-based modules and traditional serial-based modules, including older GE Fanuc Series 90-30 expansion hardware. By decoupling memory constraints from traditional tagging systems, its auto-located Symbolic Variables can utilize the full 20 MB of user RAM dynamically, reducing configuration overhead for complex programming environments.

• Dual Backplane Infrastructure: Integrates a high-speed PCI bus for intensive data transfers alongside a serial bus for legacy Series 90-30 module compatibility, saving migration costs.

• Dynamic Variable Management: Supports user-defined Symbolic Variables that scale across the entire 20 MB RAM block without restrictive register boundary mapping.

• On-the-Fly Maintenance: Designed with hot-swap capabilities for distributed or local I/O modules, preventing system shutdowns during replacement procedures.

• Multi-Language Flexibility: Fully compatible with IEC 61131-3 standard programming environments, including Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST), and Function Block Diagram (FBD), as well as native C blocks.

• Firmware Upgradability: Built-in flash memory allows field execution of system firmware updates via serial configuration utilities.

• Continuous Process Control: Managing thermal regulations, mixing lines, and mass balancing in chemical and pharmaceutical plants.

• Material Handling and Logistics: Driving high-speed sorting mechanisms, multi-axis conveyor networks, and automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RS).

• Infrastructure & Water Treatment: Executing logic loop controls across wide geographical distribution footprints using Modbus protocols.

• Power and Energy Systems: Monitoring generation parameters and managing load-shedding configurations in remote power substations.

Q: Can the IC695CPU315 replace an existing Series 90-30 CPU directly? A: While it cannot sit in a Series 90-30 baseplate, the IC695CPU315 can interface with and control existing Series 90-30 I/O modules when installed in an RX3i universal backplane or via an expansion rack link.

Q: What battery options are available to retain memory during power outages? A: The module relies on the IC695ACC302 energy pack or standard lithium batteries installed on the backplane or adjacent module slot to safeguard user memory (SRAM) during power loss.

Q: How are the serial ports configured on this hardware? A: The module has two integrated ports: Port 1 is an RS-232 connection utilizing a standard 9-pin D-sub connector. Port 2 is an RS-485 connection utilizing a 15-pin D-sub connector. Both support software-driven protocol selection.

Q: Does this CPU require an external cooling fan module? A: No, the IC695CPU315 is designed for passive convection cooling within a standard industrial control cabinet, provided the operating environment remains between 0°C and 60°C.
