GE Fanuc IC695STK010 RX3i PROFINET Starter Kit Overview

The GE Fanuc IC695STK010 is a complete RX3i PROFINET starter kit. This kit includes everything needed to begin a PACSystems RX3i project. The IC695STK010 comes with a CPE305 CPU for powerful control capabilities. A 7-slot base provides ample space for additional I/O modules. An AC power supply powers the entire system reliably. Furthermore, input and output modules are included for basic I/O connectivity. Consequently, this starter kit is ideal for testing, training, and small-scale applications.

Kit Components

The GE Fanuc IC695STK010 contains several essential components for a complete control system. First, the CPE305 CPU serves as the heart of the RX3i system. This processor supports PROFINET communication for high-speed industrial networking. Second, the 7-slot backplane allows expansion with up to seven modules total. Third, the AC power supply converts standard industrial AC power to DC for the backplane. Fourth, an input module accepts field device signals. Fifth, an output module controls actuators and indicators. Therefore, the IC695STK010 provides a fully functional PLC system out of the box.

CPE305 CPU Specifications

The CPE305 CPU included in the GE Fanuc IC695STK010 delivers reliable performance for control applications. This processor features a built-in PROFINET port for high-speed communication. It supports up to 128 MB of user memory for large programs and data tables. The CPE305 also includes a USB port for easy program transfer and firmware updates. Consequently, this CPU handles demanding automation tasks with ease.

7-Slot Base & Power Supply

The 7-slot base included with the GE Fanuc IC695STK010 provides flexible expansion options. Up to seven modules can be installed in any combination. Slots accommodate CPUs, power supplies, communication modules, and I/O modules. The AC power supply converts 120/230 V AC to the required DC voltages. Therefore, no external DC power supply is needed for basic operation.

Included I/O Modules

The GE Fanuc IC695STK010 includes both input and output modules for immediate connectivity. The input module typically provides discrete input points for switches and sensors. The output module typically provides discrete output points for relays and indicators. Exact module part numbers may vary based on kit configuration. Therefore, confirm specific I/O module details at the time of order.

Installation Guidelines

Follow these steps to set up the GE Fanuc IC695STK010 starter kit correctly. First, mount the 7-slot base securely in a control panel. Second, install the AC power supply in the leftmost slot of the base. Third, install the CPE305 CPU in the next available slot. Fourth, install the input and output modules in the remaining slots. Fifth, connect AC power to the power supply terminals. Finally, apply power and connect a programming PC via Ethernet or USB.

Use Proficy Machine Edition software to program the CPE305 CPU. The IC695STK010 requires proper grounding for reliable operation. Leave adequate clearance around the rack for cooling airflow.
