Emerson IC695CPE310-ABAB Central Processing Unit
The Emerson IC695CPE310 - ABAB is a central processing unit module belonging to the PACSystems RX3i series. It was originally produced by GE Intelligent Platforms and later came under Emerson's umbrella. As the core component of the industrial control system, it boasts powerful computing capabilities, versatile communication functions, and excellent scalability. The detailed parameters and characteristics are as follows:
- Core Processing and Storage Performance
- High - speed computing capability: It is equipped with a 1.1 GHz Atom processor. The Boolean logic execution speed can reach 0.72 ms/k, which is about three times faster than the 300 MHz Celeron processor in the similar model IC695CPU310. This high speed enables it to quickly handle complex control algorithms and real - time data processing tasks in industrial scenarios.
- Storage configuration: It has a 10 MB battery - backed user memory for storing application programs, operation data, and historical records. It also comes with an energy pack (including IC695ACC400 and IC695CBL001). Users can optionally configure non - volatile memory to extend the writing service life. In addition, the module can support up to 512 program blocks, with each block having a maximum size of 128 kb.
- I/O Capacity and Expandability
- I/O memory capacity: It can accommodate up to 32k bits of discrete input and output signals, and 32k words of analog input and output signals respectively, which can meet the signal processing needs of most medium - sized industrial control systems.
- Strong expansion capability: It supports the installation of up to 8 local racks and is compatible with most Series 90 - 30 modules. It can be expanded with high - density discrete I/O, universal analog, high - speed counter, and motion modules. Meanwhile, it can work with HART - capable RX3i analog I/O modules to transmit HART data to asset management tools.
- Rich Communication Interfaces
- Serial ports: It is equipped with two serial ports, namely one RS - 232 port and one RS - 485 port. These ports support multiple protocols such as SNP, serial I/O, Modbus slave, and Modbus master, facilitating data interaction with traditional serial devices.
- Ethernet port: It has an embedded Ethernet interface with two connections supporting 10/100 Mbps transmission rates. It supports protocols like SRTP and Modbus TCP/IP, and can also realize media redundancy with the help of the PNC001 module, ensuring stable network communication.
- USB interface: There is a USB - A 2.0 master port. Users can use it to upload and download application data to U disks or smartphones, which simplifies on - site debugging and program updating operations.
- Programming and Practical Features
- Flexible programming: It supports multiple IEC programming languages including ladder diagram, structured text, and function block diagram, as well as the C programming language. It also adopts tag - based programming and has a reusable code library, which can improve engineering efficiency. Moreover, it is compatible with legacy PME software, so users can upgrade from the CPU310 model without changing the software.
- Easy maintenance and diagnosis: It is equipped with indicator lights that can display the working status in different states such as green, red, off, or flashing, allowing for intuitive troubleshooting. It also has advanced diagnosis functions and supports hot - swapping, which reduces system downtime.
- Environmental Adaptability and Certifications
- Environmental parameters: The working temperature range is 0°C - 60°C. The power supply requires 1A current for 5V and 3.3V DC, and 0.5A current for 24V DC. It can operate stably in common industrial environments.
- Multiple certifications: It has obtained multiple certifications including UKCA, UL, RoHS, and CCC. It also has marine certifications such as ABS and DNV GL, and explosion - proof certifications like UL HazLoc C1D2 and ATEX Zone 2, making it applicable to marine and hazardous industrial environments.
