The GE Fanuc IC695STK010 is a comprehensive starter kit designed for the RX3i PACSystem platform. This kit provides all the essential components to build a functioning Profinet-based control system right out of the box. It includes the CPE305 CPU module, a 7-slot backplane, an AC power supply, and discrete input and output modules. The IC695STK010 offers a convenient entry point for engineers who need to evaluate, develop, or prototype Profinet communication solutions. With this kit, you can quickly set up a test environment and begin programming with Proficy Machine Edition software. The IC695STK010 is also suitable for training purposes or as a spare system for small-scale applications.
The GE Fanuc IC695STK010 package contains several key components that work together as a complete system. First, the CPE305 CPU module serves as the central processing unit for the RX3i rack. This CPU provides robust processing power and supports Profinet communication. Second, the 7-slot backplane offers ample space for additional modules as your system grows. Third, the AC power supply delivers reliable DC power to the entire rack. Fourth, the kit includes one discrete input module and one discrete output module, allowing you to connect field devices immediately. Every component in the IC695STK010 has compatibility with the RX3i platform, so you can expand the system later with other modules such as analog I/O, motion controllers, or communication adapters.
The CPE305 CPU inside the IC695STK010 kit delivers solid performance for a wide range of control applications. This processor features a 1 GHz clock speed and provides 64 MB of user memory, which handles complex logic programs and large data tables. The CPE305 includes an embedded Profinet interface with dual RJ-45 ports, enabling seamless connectivity to Profinet networks and devices. Additionally, the CPU supports Ethernet/IP communication for integration with other industrial protocols. The CPE305 also provides a serial port for legacy device connections. With its built-in web server, you can monitor system status remotely using a standard web browser.
The AC power supply included in the IC695STK010 kit converts standard AC mains voltage to the DC power required by the RX3i modules. This power supply delivers sufficient current to support the CPU, I/O modules, and future expansions. The 7-slot backplane serves as the physical and electrical backbone of the system. It provides connectivity between the power supply, the CPE305 CPU, and all installed I/O modules. The backplane also handles data communication between modules, ensuring deterministic and reliable performance. Because the IC695STK010 includes a 7-slot design, you have room to add up to four additional modules beyond the basic I/O provided.
The IC695STK010 kit includes discrete input and output modules to get you started right away. These modules allow you to connect switches, sensors, relays, and indicator lights directly to the system. The input module reads digital signals from field devices, while the output module drives actuators and alarms. Both modules feature LED indicators for real-time status monitoring. With these I/O modules, you can begin testing your logic programs and Profinet communication immediately upon assembly. The IC695STK010 therefore reduces the time and effort required to set up a development or evaluation platform.
The IC695STK010 kit specifically supports Profinet, which is one of the most widely used industrial Ethernet protocols. The CPE305 CPU acts as a Profinet controller, managing communication with remote I/O devices, drives, and other Profinet-compatible equipment. Profinet offers high-speed, deterministic data exchange that suits motion control and process automation applications. The dual RJ-45 ports on the CPE305 support line or ring topologies, providing flexibility in network design. This starter kit therefore gives you full access to Profinet features, including device configuration, diagnostics, and real-time data exchange.
To program the CPE305 CPU within the IC695STK010 kit, you need Proficy Machine Edition Logic Developer PLC software. This programming environment supports all RX3i modules and offers a user-friendly interface for ladder logic, structured text, and function block diagrams. The software also includes tools for Profinet network configuration, device discovery, and diagnostics. We recommend using version 8.5 or later for full compatibility with the CPE305 and all included modules. The IC695STK010 thus provides a complete hardware and software ecosystem for your automation projects.
Assembling the GE Fanuc IC695STK010 kit is a simple process. First, mount the 7-slot backplane securely inside your control cabinet. Next, install the AC power supply into the leftmost slot of the backplane. Then, insert the CPE305 CPU into the designated slot (typically slot 1). After that, place the input and output modules into any of the remaining slots. Secure each module with its retaining screws. Connect AC power to the supply unit and ground the system properly. Finally, connect your Profinet network cable to the CPE305 Ethernet ports and power up the system. The LED indicators on each module will confirm proper operation.
