Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & Control Architecture
The IC695CPU310-FS interfaces directly with the PACSystems RX3i PCI dual-bus backplane architecture to ensure rapid communication with both high-speed PCI modules and legacy serial I/O expansion chassis. Backplane bus communication velocity and logic execution timing are optimized via the 300 MHz Intel Celeron processor, yielding a fast scan execution speed of 0.34 ms per 1K Boolean logic. Firmware flash compatibility and revision synchronism across the 10 MB user memory preserve real-time tag-based programming stability during intensive data operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the primary difference between the IC695CPU310-FS revision and earlier models?
A: The FS revision incorporates updated hardware and firmware enhancements, including improved mechanical robustness for high-vibration industrial environments, while maintaining full backward compatibility with earlier IC695CPU310 variants.
Q: How is memory maintained in the IC695CPU310-FS during a power failure?
A: Memory retention and real-time clock maintenance depend on a lithium battery located in the system power supply module on the RX3i backplane.
Q: Which software package is required to configure and program the IC695CPU310-FS?
A: Programming requires Proficy Machine Edition (PME), which supports tag-based structure programming and advanced hardware configuration features. Legacy Logicmaster software is not supported.
Field Installation Guidelines
Ensure system power is fully isolated before inserting the IC695CPU310-FS into its assigned CPU slot on the PACSystems RX3i backplane. Align the module with the card guides and push firmly until the rear PCI connectors fully engage, securing the module with the retaining screws to guarantee solid chassis grounding. Programming connections via the integrated RS-232 serial interface or Ethernet modules (eg, IC695ETM001) must utilize shielded cabling, with shields connected to ground at a single termination point to shield high-speed processor execution from electromagnetic interference.
