Description
The GE Fanuc IC695CPU320 is a high-performance central processing unit (CPU) module designed for GE Fanuc’s PACSystems RX3i platform, delivering advanced control capabilities for industrial automation, power generation, and process control applications. As part of GE’s modular automation ecosystem, the IC695CPU320 supports real-time data processing, multi-protocol communication, and scalable I/O integration, making it ideal for mission-critical environments such as oil & gas refineries, water treatment plants, and automotive assembly lines.
The
IC695CPU320 serves as the core controller for
PACSystems RX3i systems, enabling seamless integration with GE’s
Series 90-30 I/O modules and modern industrial protocols. Its
1 GHz Celeron M processor and
64 MB RAM + 64 MB NVRAM ensure rapid execution of complex control logic, while
dual RS-232/RS-485 ports and
PCI backplane connectivity facilitate high-speed data transfer. With
hot-swap capability and
-40°C to +60°C operating range, the module minimizes downtime in harsh industrial settings.
