Purchase now IC695CPE310 GE Fanuc PACSystems RX3i Advanced CPU
Purchase now IC695CPE310 to equip your heavy industrial operations with extreme computational agility and massive memory architecture. The GE Fanuc IC695CPE310 is an elite Central Processing Unit designed for the top tier of the PACSystems RX3i platform. Driven by an immensely powerful 1.1 GHz Intel Atom microprocessor, this module is built to dominate applications that choke standard PLCs—such as deeply complex mathematical interpolations, massive multi-axis motion control, and plant-wide data aggregation. Boasting a staggering 10 Megabytes of battery-less user memory, it provides unprecedented space for exhaustive logic programming, extensive historical data logging, and vast UDT (User Defined Type) structures. Fully supporting the dual-bus architecture (combining the legacy serial bus with the high-bandwidth PCI Express bus), the CPE310 seamlessly integrates thousands of I/O points across complex PROFINET, Ethernet Global Data (EGD), and Modbus TCP networks. By investing in this genuine OEM hardware, enterprise manufacturers guarantee deterministic precision, lightning-fast scan times, and the absolute highest level of machine automation reliability available in the market.

Expert Configuration and PROFINET Integration Tips
When unleashing the processing power of the IC695CPE310, careful network segmentation is the key to maintaining deterministic control. This CPU features two physical Gigabit Ethernet ports, but they operate as a switched pair on a single IP address by default. For advanced PROFINET architectures, an expert strategy is to isolate your plant-level SCADA traffic from your machine-level I/O traffic. While the CPE310 has immense processing power, relying solely on its embedded ports for both heavy HMI polling and deterministic PROFINET I/O can cause micro-jitter. For optimal performance in large-scale systems, utilize the CPU’s embedded Ethernet for SCADA/MES connectivity, and install a dedicated PROFINET Controller module (such as the IC695PNC001) in an adjacent PCI Express slot to handle the high-speed, real-time communication to your remote I/O drops and variable frequency drives.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does the IC695CPE310 retain its 10MB of memory without a battery? Like its sibling processors, the CPE310 relies on an external Energy Pack (typically the IC695ACC400). When input power drops, the Energy Pack discharges a controlled burst of electricity into the CPU, providing enough time for the processor to flash its entire 10MB of volatile RAM directly into internal non-volatile NVRAM before completely shutting down.
Can I upgrade a legacy Series 90-30 system directly to this processor? Yes, the PACSystems RX3i architecture was intentionally designed for migration. While you must upgrade to the RX3i universal backplane and the CPE310 processor, you can generally retain your existing Series 90-30 discrete and analog I/O modules, which will seamlessly interface with the CPE310 via the backplane’s legacy serial bus.
What is the maximum I/O capacity of this advanced CPU? The IC695CPE310 is an absolute powerhouse capable of addressing up to 32,000 discrete I/O points and 32,000 analog words. This allows a single CPU to manage an entire manufacturing line or complex processing facility without the need for multiple distributed PLCs.
