Functional Description
IC695CRU320 is a CPU Processor Module developed by GE. The module is a high-performance 1 GHz CPU from the GE Fanuc RX3i PACSystems product line, designed to provide robust automation control. It is equipped with features that enhance reliability and flexibility, making it suitable for critical applications where system uptime is essential.
Features
- Hot Standby Redundancy: Supports hot standby redundancy, which enables the system to maintain continuous operation even if one CPU fails. This feature is vital for applications that cannot afford any downtime, ensuring that control processes remain unaffected by hardware failures. Hot standby redundancy helps improve system resilience and minimizes the risk of system downtime.
- Processing Capabilities: The CPU is powered by an Intel Celeron-M microprocessor with a clock speed of 1 GHz. This provides the necessary processing power for real-time control, ensuring fast and efficient handling of tasks in complex automation systems. The microprocessor allows the CPU to process high-speed commands and control systems with precision and reliability.
- Memory and Storage: Features 64 MB of non-volatile flash memory and 64 MB of battery-backed RAM. This memory configuration ensures reliable data storage and quick access to information. The flash memory retains data even when the system is powered off, while the battery-backed RAM helps maintain real-time data integrity during power interruptions.
- Serial Ports: The module is equipped with two independent serial ports, capable of supporting a wide range of serial communication protocols. These include SNP, Serial I/O, and Modbus Slave and Master. The serial ports allow the CRU320 to easily integrate into complex control systems, enabling communication with other equipment and systems in the automation environment.
- Compatibility: The CPU is compatible with both local and remote expansion racks, making it a flexible solution for systems of varying sizes and configurations. It supports expansion modules from the Series 90-30 I/O product line, providing a seamless integration into existing control systems. However, it is important to note that the module is not compatible with main racks in the Series 90-30 system.
- Proficy Machine Edition: The Proficy Machine Edition software is specifically designed for programming, running, and diagnosing automation applications. This software integrates with the CRU320, enabling users to create operator interfaces, control applications, and motion control systems. It provides powerful diagnostic tools to troubleshoot and optimize system performance.
Indicators and Troubleshooting
- COM 1 and COM 2: Indicate the operational status of the two serial ports.
- CPU OK: Confirms that the CPU is functioning correctly.
- Run: Shows whether the CPU is in run mode, indicating the system is active and executing processes.
- Outputs Enabled: Displays whether outputs are enabled for the system, signifying that the CPU is providing control signals to the connected equipment.
- I/O Force: Indicates whether an override (force) is active on any bit reference in the I/O system.
- Battery: Monitors the status of the system’s battery, providing warnings in case of low power or impending battery failure.
- Sys Flt: Stands for System Fault, which lights up if any error or fault is detected within the system, helping users identify issues early on.
Design and Installation
- The CPU is made from durable plastic and comes in an open-style enclosure, which is not suitable for industrial environments with high humidity, dirt, or water.
- It should be installed in a protected enclosure to maintain optimal operating conditions, with an operating temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit).
- It can be installed in a GE Fanuc PLC system using either an RX3i PCI or Series 90-30-style serial backplane bus.
