Main Functions

1. High‑performance main processing unit for RX3i automation system. Executes IEC 61131‑3 user logic and floating‑point arithmetic, handles local and expansion‑rack I/O via dual PCI / serial backplane bus. Improved safety behavior: outputs go to configured fallback state upon CPU unresponsive failure (lights‑out condition) by V5.61 firmware.
2. Two onboard serial ports for Modbus‑RTU field instruments and SNP communication. Ethernet functions are realized by external ETM001 module for SCADA, Modbus‑TCP and EGD data exchange.
3. Program and configuration stored in non‑volatile flash; runtime process data maintained by battery‑backed SRAM. Supports in‑system firmware upgrade for CPU and other backplane modules.
4. Front‑panel LED indicators:   ‑ Green CPU OK: CPU hardware normal status   ‑ Red SYS FLT: Hardware / memory / configuration system fault   ‑ Green RUN: User program executing   ‑ OUTPUTS ENABLED: Output scan active   ‑ I/O FORCE: I/O force function active   ‑ BATTERY: Low battery alarm   ‑ COM1 / COM2: Serial communication activity status

Installation & Wiring Requirements

1. Cut off full rack power supply before replacement. CPU hot‑swap is strictly forbidden. ESD protection must be applied during module handling.
2. Insert IC695CPU320‑CF into two consecutive slots of RX3i universal main‑rack backplane and engage locking latches. Install IC695ACC302 smart battery module.
3. Serial wiring comply with GE RX3i hardware manual. Use shielded twisted‑pair for RS‑485 bus; install terminating resistor at bus end. Reliable protective‑ground connection is required. Install IC695ETM001 module on backplane if Ethernet communication is required.
4. After replacement: Power‑on rack power, check CPU front‑panel LED status. Download hardware configuration and user application program. Complete I/O mapping validation and all communication link tests. Verify output fallback‑state behavior according to project safety requirements.
5. Replacement note: Confirm backplane provides sufficient 3.3 V / 5 V current capacity. Inspect battery health status. Full‑system commissioning test is mandatory before putting into service.
