Processor & Memory Performance
The IC695PMM355 uses a 300 MHz Intel processor. This powerful CPU handles complex motion calculations easily. User memory reaches 10 MB for motion programs and cam tables. Multiple controllers become unnecessary with this performance level. One IC695PMM355 replaces several lower-performance units. Consequently, system cost and complexity both decrease. Real-time motion control executes without latency. Complex interpolated moves run smoothly across all 4 axes.
Backplane & Bus Features
The GE Fanuc IC695PMM355 mounts only to a universal backplane. A high-speed PCI bus operates at 27 MHz. Fast data input supports demanding I/O applications. A separate serial bus handles simpler I/O tasks. This dual-bus architecture optimizes performance for both needs. The universal backplane includes hot swap capability. For this reason, machine downtime minimizes during replacements. You can remove and insert the IC695PMM355 without powering down the entire rack. Production uptime improves significantly.
Hot Swap Capability
Hot swap support distinguishes the IC695PMM355 from older controllers. No system power-down is required for module replacement. A faulty motion controller swaps out while the rack remains live. Other modules continue normal operation during this process. Downtime reduces to minutes instead of hours. For critical production lines, this feature proves essential. The IC695PMM355 includes a downtime minimizer design specifically for this purpose.
LED Indicators & Diagnostics
Status LEDs provide clear visual feedback on the IC695PMM355. Module power, communication activity, and fault conditions display directly. Troubleshooting becomes faster with these onboard indicators. Field technicians diagnose problems without a programming terminal. Operational status checks take only seconds. For maintenance efficiency, these LEDs save valuable time.
Software & Programming Environment
Proficy Machine Edition software supports the IC695PMM355 completely. This unified programming environment serves all RX3i controllers. Maintenance processes simplify with common tools. Machine-level automation system development becomes more efficient. Application portability across hardware platforms reduces reprogramming effort. Control options converge into one consistent interface. For OEMs and end-users, this flexibility proves valuable.
Installation Guidelines
Follow these steps for proper installation of the IC695PMM355.
Power down the rack or prepare for hot swap insertion.
Select an empty universal backplane slot for the controller.
Align the module with the upper and lower card guides.
Slide the IC695PMM355 firmly into place until fully seated.
Secure the module using the retaining screws at top and bottom.
Connect servo drives and feedback devices to the appropriate ports.
Power up the system and verify LED indicators show normal status.
Configure the module using Proficy Machine Edition software.
Note: The IC695PMM355 requires a universal backplane. Standard VME backplanes do not support this module. Hot swap functionality requires proper backplane revision and software support.

Common FAQs
1. How many axes does the IC695PMM355 control?
This module controls up to 4 servo axes simultaneously. The processor runs complex interpolated moves across all axes. Virtual and time-based axes are also configurable. For larger systems, multiple IC695PMM355 modules can share one rack.
2. What is the advantage of hot swap on the IC695PMM355?
Hot swap allows module replacement without rack power-down. Production downtime reduces dramatically during maintenance. Faulty units swap out while other modules continue operating. Consequently, critical processes suffer minimal interruption.
3. What software programs the IC695PMM355?
Proficy Machine Edition is the primary programming software. This unified environment serves all RX3i controllers. Applications remain portable across different hardware platforms. Motion programs, cam tables, and logic all develop within one package.
4. What is the operating temperature range for the IC695PMM355?
Operating temperature spans 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. Storage temperature ranges from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the IC695PMM355 suits standard industrial environments. For extreme conditions, additional cooling or enclosure heating may be necessary.
