GE IC695CPU315-CD RX3i 1GHz CPU

GE IC695CPU315-CD PACSystems RX3i 1GHz CPU (Tested)

The GE IC695CPU315-CD is a powerful and reliable central processing unit in the trusted PACSystems RX3i family (previously GE Fanuc, now Emerson). Designed for industrial automation and marine control systems with high requirements, this 1GHz Celeron processor offers fast processing speeds, reliable data management and smooth multi-rack control.

The machine also has two built-in serial ports enabling legacy communications and flexible peripheral integration. This device was designed, built and extensively bench-tested by senior automation engineers and is offered without its outer faceplate cover, making it a very cost-effective fully working replacement or spare for critical infrastructure.

Main Features

1. Fast Processing : Utilizes a 1GHz Celeron CPU for faster execution of logic and shorter cycle times.
2. Dual serial interfaces: Equipped with two inbuilt serial interfaces supporting RS-232 and RS-485 protocols for versatile field connectivity.
3. Flexible Memory Allocation. This device is equipped with 20MB of user memory, enough to handle complex application logic and comprehensive data logging.
4. Universal Backplane Integration: Integrates through the RX3i PCI backplane to provide high-speed transmission between I/O modules.
5. Marine and Industrial Reliability: Built to sustain performance in continuous duty, high temperature, and high vibration settings.

Guide for Commissioning by NDMarineTech:

1. Firmware Matching: Before downloading your project, verify that the firmware version on this IC695CPU315-CD matches your existing hardware configuration in Proficy Machine Edition. If necessary, flash the firmware to match your fleet or plant standard.
2. Serial Port Isolation: If utilizing the dual serial ports for RS-485 Modbus RTU loops on long cable runs (e.g., from the engine control room to the steering gear flat), always use high-quality shielded twisted-pair cables to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby variable frequency drives (VFDs).
3. Battery Backup: Ensure a fresh energy pack or lithium battery (IC693ACC302) is connected to preserve your volatile user memory during a complete vessel or plant blackout.
