GE Fanuc IC695CBL002 RX3i CPU Energy Pack Cable

IC695CBL002 GE Fanuc PACSystems RX3i Replacement Cable

Product Introduction

The IC695CBL002 is a purpose-built replacement cable from GE Fanuc for the RX3i PACSystem series. Specifically, this cable links the main CPU unit to the optional energy pack module. Its primary function is to enable automatic power backup during unexpected system outages. When the main supply drops, the energy pack steps in to keep the CPU running just long enough to save critical data. Therefore, the GE Fanuc IC695CBL002 plays an essential role in protecting user programs, configuration files, and process logs from loss.

Key Technical Specifications

The GE Fanuc IC695CBL002 measures exactly 1 meter, which equals 36 inches in length. This slightly longer reach compared to its predecessor offers more flexibility in panel layout. Additionally, the cable incorporates a 7-pin keyed connector on both ends. This keyed design prevents incorrect insertion, reducing the risk of damage during installation. Straight-through end-to-end wiring ensures a simple pin-to-pin mapping, so no cross-wiring confusion occurs.

Furthermore, a built-in termination resistor is included with the IC695CBL002. This resistor optimizes impedance matching and minimizes signal reflections. Consequently, data transfer between the CPU and energy pack remains stable and error-free. The system voltage compatibility covers 24 Volts DC, 125 Volts DC, and 120 to 240 Volts AC. Such wide range accommodates diverse industrial power supplies across different regions.

Mechanical and Environmental Ratings

The IC695CBL002 is constructed with industrial-grade materials and a durable outer coating. This coating provides effective protection against dust, moisture, and mild chemical exposure commonly found in factory floors. The cable operates reliably within a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit). Moreover, the compatible energy pack module, catalog number IC695ACC402, mounts on a standard DIN rail such as the EN50022 type. Alternatively, you can also panel-mount the module if that better suits your cabinet layout.

Installation Guidelines

Installing the GE Fanuc IC695CBL002 is straightforward due to its keyed connector and clear labeling. First, ensure the system is completely powered off and disconnected from the mains. Next, locate the dedicated energy pack port on the bottom side of the IC695CPE330 CPU. Then, align the 7-pin keyed plug with the corresponding socket and push it in until you hear a firm click. Repeat the same step on the IC695ACC402 energy pack module.

After securing both ends, route the cable away from high-voltage power lines to prevent electromagnetic interference. For best results, use the included cable ties to bundle and organize the wiring neatly. Finally, restore power to the system and verify that the energy pack status indicator shows a ready state. This confirms a successful connection.

Compatibility and System Role

The IC695CBL002 is specifically designed for the IC695CPE330 CPU model from the RX3i series. It pairs with the IC695ACC402 energy pack module to form a complete backup power solution. In normal operation, the CPU draws power from the main backplane. However, when a power failure occurs, the system automatically switches to the energy pack. This pack maintains sufficient voltage for the CPU to save all user memory and diagnostic data to non-volatile storage.

Additionally, both the cable and the energy pack meet the EU RoHS directive 2011/65/EU. This compliance restricts hazardous substances, making the IC695CBL002 a more environmentally responsible choice. For industries with strict sustainability policies, this feature adds extra value.
