IC695CPE330

What type of industrial automation component is this?

It is a programmable CPU module for PACSystems RX3i control systems. The IC695CPE330 executes control logic, manages I/O, processes application data, and coordinates communications across an automation system.

How much user memory does the CPU provide?

The CPU provides 64 MB of configurable memory for control programs and application data, making it suitable for complex or data-intensive automation tasks.

What processor does the module use?

It uses a 1 GHz dual-core microprocessor. One of its processing resources helps service Ethernet communications independently from controller logic and I/O scanning.

How is the module installed?

The module mounts in the main rack of a PACSystems RX3i system. It requires two adjacent CPU-compatible backplane slots and must be firmly seated and secured to the rack.

Which RX3i backplanes are compatible with the CPU?

Compatible universal backplanes include the IC695CHS007, IC695CHS012, and IC695CHS016. The selected rack must also use a suitable RX3i rack-mounted power supply.

What Ethernet connectivity is built into the module?

The module has two independent Ethernet LAN interfaces presented through three RJ45 ports. LAN1 uses one dedicated port, while LAN2 uses two internally switched ports. The interfaces automatically detect 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps connections.

Which industrial Ethernet protocols are supported?

Supported communications include SRTP client/server, Modbus TCP/IP, OPC UA, EGD, and PROFINET. Additional protocol capabilities can depend on the configured system and installed components.

Can it control distributed PROFINET I/O?

Yes. The embedded PROFINET controller can manage up to 32 I/O devices, with configurable update rates ranging from 1 to 512 milliseconds. Faster update rates are available in systems with fewer connected devices.

How much I/O capacity does the controller handle?

The controller supports up to 32K discrete input and output points, along with up to 32K words each for analog inputs and analog outputs.

Does the CPU support redundant control arrangements?

Yes. It supports RX3i Hot Standby Redundancy with PROFINET I/O and can use either its embedded PROFINET capability or a rack-mounted IC695PNC001 controller. It also supports redundancy using EGD and Genius I/O.

What is the operating temperature range?

The standard IC695CPE330 is rated for operation from 32°F to 140°F, equivalent to 0°C to 60°C. A separate low-temperature version is intended for installations requiring a wider environmental range.

Does the module have removable data storage functionality?

Yes. A USB device can be used as a removable data storage device to transfer selected programs or memory contents. The front-panel upload and download controls allow applications or data to be copied between the CPU and the USB device.

What is the purpose of the optional energy pack?

The optional IC695ACC402 energy pack provides temporary power during an external power loss so that retained data can be written to nonvolatile memory. It connects to the underside of the CPU and is installed close to the module.

What do the front-panel status indicators show?

The indicators display CPU condition, run state, output enablement, active overrides, removable storage activity, system faults, Ethernet link status, network traffic, and Gigabit connection speed.

What programming languages can be used with the controller?

The controller supports Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, and C, allowing engineers to select an appropriate language for sequential control, process logic, calculations, or specialized routines.

Can this CPU replace older RX3i controllers?

The CPE330 includes compatibility options for migration from CPU320, CRU320, and CPU315 controllers. The existing rack arrangement, project configuration, I/O requirements, power supply, and operating mode should be checked before substitution.

Does the module contain a real-time clock battery?

Yes. It contains a replaceable BR2032-BA 3 V lithium coin-cell battery for the real-time clock. The recommended maintenance interval for this battery is approximately five years.

What is the commodity classification for this CPU module?

The listed commodity code is 903289, covering automatic regulating or controlling instruments and apparatus within the applicable customs classification.
