Description
GE IC695CRU320 is a high-performance redundancy control processor module designed for GE Fanuc’s PACSystems RX3i platform, specializing in mission-critical industrial automation applications. As part of the CRU series, this module serves as the central control hub in distributed control systems (DCS) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), delivering seamless redundancy and real-time processing capabilities. With support for hot standby redundancy and advanced diagnostic features, the GE IC695CRU320 ensures continuous operation in environments where downtime is costly, such as power generation, oil & gas, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its dual backplane bus architecture—combining PCI and serial communication—enables compatibility with both modern RX3i I/O modules and legacy Series 90-30 systems, facilitating phased migration without disrupting operations.
Equipped with a 1 GHz Intel Celeron M processor and 64 MB of non-volatile flash memory, the GE IC695CRU320 delivers fast execution speeds (0.047 ms per 1,000 boolean instructions) and robust data handling for complex control algorithms. Its built-in serial ports (RS-232/RS-485) support protocols like Modbus RTU and SNP, while the dual backplane interface allows integration with high-speed PACSystems I/O and legacy devices. The module’s redundancy architecture supports automatic switchover within one logic scan cycle (~3.133 ms), ensuring uninterrupted control in critical applications. Enhanced diagnostic capabilities, including LED indicators for system status and fault detection, streamline maintenance and reduce troubleshooting time.
