The GE Fanuc / Emerson Automation IC695CPE330 is a PACSystem RX3i controller. This controller has 64MB RAM and 64MB non-volatile user memory, processor speed of 1 GHz. This controller has Two (2) independent 10/100/1000 Gbps Ethernet ports and One (1) USB master port with embedded switch provided by LAN 2 connections. This controller supports hot-standby configuration with PROFINET controllers, Ethernet (EGD) & Genius IO.

The IC695CPE330 is a GE Fanuc / Emerson Automation controller that is part of the PACSystem RX3i automation platform. This product is a controller module that is categorized as Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) that has a variety of enhancement and significant features that fits today’s application requirement and emerging technologies. This includes modern redundant fatures which may be implemented via PROFINET controllers, Ethernet (EGD) & Genius IO as well as a large amount of user memory amounting to 64 MB and 64 MB non-volatile memory. This controller is also fitted with modern microprocessor with 1GHz processing speed. This controller also supports gigabit as it may be connected in Ethernet network with transmission speed of 10 / 100 Mbps and 1Gbps communication rate.

The embedded Ethernet communication ports allow implementation of controller and media redundany for high-availability of I/O modules. These ethernet ports have dedicated microprocessor core, permitting the IC695CPE330 controller to implement up to 48 simultaneous SRTP Server connections, 16 simultaneous Modbus®/TCP Server connections with 32 clients are permitted for each connection which can be SRTP or Modbux/SRTP.

Additionally, the USB 2.0 Master port permits uploading and downloading of program using a generic thumb drive and smart phones. This feature is a convenient option for maintaining the operation of the RX3i control system.

The IC695CPE330 supports programming languages such Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST), Function Block Diagram (FBD), or C Language. It also supports communicating with 3rd party devices via OPC UA, which is an industry known standard that can be implemented over Ethernet IP connection.

The IC695CPE330 CPU also supports a wide variety of IO protocols such as the PROFINET, EGD, Modbus TCP, PROFIBUS, Genius, DeviceNet, Modbus RTU, and Reflective Memory (CMX) protocols. It belongs to the RX3i family of CPUs and it comes with an embedded Ethernet/PROFINET interface.

The IC695CPE330 RX3i PacSystems CPU also supports the rack-mounted PROFINET controller modules for communication. The IC695ACC402 energy pack, the IC695ACC412 capacitor pack, and the IC695CBL002 connecting cables are some of the optional accessories that can be used with this module. The faceplate of the module consists of 6 status LEDs, pushbuttons, and a 3-position run mode switch for easy monitoring and operation. This CPU must be installed in the main rack of the RX3i PLC system to integrate with any RX3i I/O module or intelligence option modules. It supports up to 32K discrete and analog I/O points. The IC695CPE330 RX3i CPU is the best choice for multi-tier communication and for processing a large amount of data in complex industrial applications.
