Selection Guide

1. Performance Requirements:
   • Base Model (IC695CPU315-CD): For discrete manufacturing with <10,000 I/O points.
   • Enhanced Model (IC695CPU315-CD-P): Includes Profinet IRT for high-speed motion control (e.g., electronics assembly).
   • Wide-Temperature Model (IC695CPU315-CD-H): -40°C to 70°C for outdoor/extreme environments.
2. Redundancy Configuration:
   • Single Rack: Pair with IC695PSM210 redundant power supply.
   • Multi-Rack Systems: Use dual-CPU redundancy kit (IC695CPU315-CD-R), increasing budget by 25% but reliability by 4x.
3. Compliance Needs:
   • Food & Beverage: Choose stainless steel variant (IC695CPU315-CD-SS).
   • Oil & Gas: Select Class I, Div 2 explosion-proof model (IC695CPU315-CD-EX).

Installation and Maintenance Tips

1. Hardware Installation:
   • Secure with M3×6 stainless steel screws (torque: 0.8–1.0 N·m) for EMI continuity.
   • Redundant systems require IC695CPU-SYNC cables (≤10 m length).
2. Software Configuration:
   • Use Proficy Machine Edition v9.2+ for initial setup and drag-and-drop AI model deployment.
   • Update security policies quarterly via GE Digital Security Portal.
3. Preventive Maintenance:
   • Replace RTC battery (CR1220) every 2 years for ±10ppm clock accuracy.
   • Monitor memory usage; upgrade if sustained >80% capacity.
