GE IC695CPU315 high-performance CPU module

Description

IC695CPU315 Product Description:
GE IC695CPU315 is GE VersaMax ™ The high-performance CPU module of the automation platform is known for its flexibility and open architecture. As the core of the VersaMax ecosystem, it executes control logic, manages I/O operations, and facilitates communication with field devices, drivers, and monitoring systems in accordance with the IEC 61131-3 standard.

IC695CPU315

TheIC695CPU315adopts a 300 MHz ARM processor and 256 MB user memory (expandable to 512 MB via SD card), achieving a balance between processing speed (ladder logic scan time of 0.5 milliseconds/kilobyte) and cost-effectiveness, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from standalone devices to distributed control systems (DCS). Its compatibility with Studio 5000 Logix Designer software simplifies programming for ladder diagrams, structured text, or functional block diagrams, while support for Modbus RTU and Ethernet/IP ensures seamless integration with third-party devices such as VFDs or smart sensors.

Its compact design (width of 100mm) and DIN rail installation method optimize the space utilization inside the control cabinet. For integrators, IC695CPU315 serves as a bridge between traditional RS-232/485 systems and modern Ethernet networks, supporting phased upgrades without the need for comprehensive infrastructure upgrades.

IC695CPU315

Main features and advantages:
Processing and memory performance
The 300 MHz processor provides reliable scan time for moderately complex applications, such as managing up to 1000 ladder steps or executing PID control loops for temperature or pressure regulation. With 256 MB of user memory (expandable via SD card), it can store programs, trend data, and recipes, eliminating the need for an external data logger in simple settings.

Communication flexibility
This CPU is equipped with built-in RS-232/485 ports and optional Ethernet/IP module (IC695ETM001), supporting protocols such as Modbus RTU, DF1, and Ethernet/IP, and can be connected to SCADA systems, HMI (such as GE’s iFIX), and cloud platforms through MQTT gateway. This flexibility supports remote monitoring of key indicators such as overall equipment efficiency (OEE) or energy consumption, thereby supporting predictive maintenance strategies.

Robust industrial design
The working temperature range of IC695CPU315 is -20 ° C to+60 ° C, which complies with the IEC 61000-6-2/6-4 electromagnetic compatibility standard and can withstand dust, moisture, and electromagnetic interference in industrial environments. Its fanless design reduces maintenance requirements, while diagnostic LED indicators (power, operation, fault, communication) provide clear updates on status. The hot swappable design of this module allows for on-site replacement without shutting down the system, thereby minimizing downtime during maintenance.

Scalability and redundancy
IC695CPU315 supports connecting up to 8 local I/O racks and 32 remote I/O nodes through the VersaMax remote I/O protocol, and can be expanded from 256 to 4096 I/O points according to project requirements. Although it does not support hot standby redundancy itself, it can be paired with auxiliary CPUs for non critical applications in cold standby configurations and use external relay logic for fault transfer.

IC695CPU315

Application areas:
On food and beverage production lines, IC695CPU315 can manage conveyor systems, sterilization rooms, and packaging machinery, ensuring precise coordination of sensors, actuators, and human-machine interfaces (HMI). Its ability to support up to 4096 I/O points (with remote I/O support) makes it an ideal choice for managing multi-stage production processes such as filling lines or meat processing facilities, where compliance with hygiene standards and production speed are crucial. In water treatment plants, the CPU controls the pump group network, monitors water quality parameters, and performs automatic chemical dosing to adapt to constantly changing inflow rates while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Installation and maintenance:
Precautions before installation
Before installing IC695CPU315, please ensure that the control cabinet has sufficient ventilation to maintain the ambient temperature below 50 ° C. Use a dedicated grounding conductor (≥ 4 mm ²) to ground the chassis to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially when close to high-power equipment such as frequency converters. When configuring remote I/O, please verify the cable length and terminal resistance to maintain signal integrity.
maintenance agreement
Perform visual inspections monthly to check for loose terminal blocks or signs of corrosion. Use Studio 5000 to view CPU diagnostic information, including memory usage and communication error rates, and back up programs to SD cards or network drives every quarter. If equipped with an internal battery, please replace it every 5 years to preserve real-time clock and memory data. For systems with remote I/O, please test network connectivity annually by simulating cable failures and verifying recovery. Record all maintenance activities to comply with ISO 9001 requirements.
