Key Features and Benefits
The GE FANUC IC695CPE305 stands out as a versatile and robust PAC solution, addressing core challenges of integrated automation in complex industrial environments while delivering measurable operational value.
High-Speed Processing for Real-Time Control
Powered by a 1.0 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, the GE FANUC IC695CPE305 executes control logic, processes I/O data, and handles communication tasks with minimal latency. It achieves a logic scan time of less than 1 ms for 10,000 boolean instructions—critical for time-sensitive applications like automotive assembly line robotics, where synchronized motion control and sensor feedback are essential. The dual-core design also enables parallel processing: one core manages real-time control, while the other handles non-critical tasks (e.g., data logging, HMI communication), ensuring no compromise on control performance.
Scalable I/O and System Expansion
The GE FANUC IC695CPE305 supports up to 32 RX3i I/O modules (analog, digital, specialty), allowing it to adapt to diverse application needs—from small-scale machine control (e.g., a single packaging line) to large-scale plant-wide automation (e.g., a multi-unit power plant). It also integrates seamlessly with GE Fanuc’s motion control modules (e.g., IC695MDR390) and process control modules (e.g., IC695PBM300), eliminating the need for separate controllers. This scalability reduces hardware costs and simplifies system architecture, making it easier for operators to manage and maintain.
Built-In Cybersecurity for Industrial Networks
In an era of increasing cyber threats to industrial systems, the GE FANUC IC695CPE305 includes robust security features to protect critical automation data. It supports Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to restrict unauthorized configuration changes, Secure Boot to prevent malware from loading during startup, and TLS 1.3 encryption for communication with HMIs, SCADA systems, and cloud platforms. These features ensure compliance with industry standards like IEC 62443, safeguarding against cyberattacks that could cause production downtime or safety hazards.
Seamless Integration with Legacy and Modern Systems
The GE FANUC IC695CPE305 is backward-compatible with older GE Fanuc Series 90-30 I/O modules, allowing facilities to upgrade their CPU without replacing existing I/O infrastructure—a significant cost-saving advantage for plants with legacy systems. It also supports modern industrial protocols (Ethernet/IP, PROFINET) for integration with third-party devices (e.g., Siemens VFDs, Allen-Bradley HMIs) and cloud platforms (e.g., Emerson’s Plantweb Optics) for remote monitoring and predictive maintenance. This flexibility ensures long-term usability, even as industrial automation technologies evolve.
Rugged Design for Industrial Reliability
Built to GE Fanuc’s strict industrial standards, the GE FANUC IC695CPE305 operates reliably in harsh control cabinet environments. Its wide operating temperature range (0°C to +60°C) accommodates typical factory and plant conditions, while resistance to electrical noise (via built-in EMI filtering) prevents interference from nearby motors or high-voltage equipment. The module’s backplane-mounted design also reduces wiring complexity and minimizes the risk of loose connections, further enhancing operational reliability.
