GE Fanuc IC695CPU320HU VersaMax High-Performance PLC CPU
The IC695CPU320HU is a high-performance programmable logic controller (PLC) CPU from GE Fanuc’s VersaMax series, designed for industrial automation, machine control, and process optimization. Engineered for rapid decision-making and seamless integration, this module delivers 0.08 μs/1K instruction processing speed, 256 MB user memory, and built-in EtherNet/IP & Modbus RTU connectivity, making it ideal for complex manufacturing, energy, and water treatment applications.
1. Product Overview
The IC695CPU320HU serves as the brain of VersaMax systems, supporting 16,000 I/O points (expandable via VersaMax I/O modules) and real-time data exchange with HMIs, SCADA, and cloud platforms. Its hot-swap capability and -40°C to +70°C operating range ensure reliability in harsh environments. Key features include IEC 61131-3 programming (Ladder Logic, Structured Text), dual Ethernet ports for network redundancy, and secure firmware updates via GE’s Proficy Machine Edition.
Ultra-Fast Processing: 0.08 μs/1K instruction speed (2x faster than legacy GE CPUs), critical for high-speed packaging lines.
Massive Memory: 256 MB program memory supports complex algorithms (e.g., predictive maintenance models in automotive plants).
Built-in Redundancy: Dual Ethernet ports enable ring topologies, ensuring 99.99% uptime in semiconductor factories.
Case Study: A U.S. automotive plant reduced cycle times by 15% using IC695CPU320HU to control 500+ robotic arms, achieving 0.5 ms response latency.
4. Applications & Use Cases
Manufacturing: Controls CNC machines and conveyor systems in electronics assembly (e.g., 10,000 I/O points in a smartphone factory).
Energy: Manages solar farm inverters and grid stabilization via Modbus RTU (e.g., 200+ devices in a 50 MW plant).
Water Treatment: Optimizes pump scheduling in wastewater plants, reducing energy costs by 20%.
Example: A German chemical plant deployed IC695CPU320HU to monitor 800+ valves and sensors, cutting emergency shutdowns by 40% through real-time analytics.
5. Competitor Comparison
Faster Processing: 0.08 μs vs. 0.12 μs in comparable PLCs, enabling 20% higher throughput in bottling lines.
Larger Memory: 256 MB vs. 128 MB in legacy models, supporting 3x more I/O points without expansion.
Integrated Security: AES-128 encryption for firmware updates, preventing cyber threats in smart factories.

6. Selection Recommendations
I/O Requirements: Choose IC695CPU320HU for >8,000 I/O points; downsize to IC695CPU310 for small systems.
Environment: Opt for the -HU variant (宽温设计) for outdoor/extreme temperature use; standard models for indoor.
Network Needs: Use dual Ethernet ports for redundancy in critical systems (e.g., oil refineries).
7. Installation & Maintenance Notes
Wiring: Ground the module to a dedicated earth point (≤10 Ω) to reduce EMI.
Cooling: Ensure 20 mm airflow clearance around the CPU in high-temperature environments.
Firmware Updates: Apply quarterly updates via Proficy Machine Edition to patch security vulnerabilities.
