Engineering Advantages
Uninterrupted Process Continuity
The CRU320-EN architecture supports Hot Standby redundancy. In the event of a primary CPU failure, the standby processor assumes control in less than one logic scan, minimizing process interruption in critical industries such as power generation, petrochemical processing, and water treatment.
High-Speed Logic Execution
The integrated 1 GHz processor efficiently handles large-scale data processing, floating-point calculations, and advanced PID control loops. This high computing performance eliminates bottlenecks in systems managing extensive I/O networks.
Simplified Synchronization
Dedicated redundancy communication links automatically synchronize memory registers, I/O states, and process data between the primary and standby CPUs. This reduces engineering complexity by eliminating the need for custom synchronization logic.
Dual Backplane Support
The RX3i dual-bus architecture supports both high-speed PCI communication and legacy serial-based I/O modules. This compatibility allows users to integrate modern RX3i modules alongside existing Series 90-30 hardware for cost-effective migration projects.
FAQs
What is the difference between the IC695CPU320 and the IC695CRU320?
The “CRU” designation identifies the module as a redundancy-enabled CPU. While both models utilize the same 1 GHz processor, the IC695CRU320-EN includes dedicated hardware and firmware for high-speed synchronization in redundant control architectures.
Does this module include the redundancy fiber optic cables?
No. Fiber optic synchronization cables must be purchased separately according to the required installation distance between the redundant CPU racks.
Can I use this CPU in a non-redundant configuration?
Yes. The IC695CRU320-EN can operate as a standalone high-performance CPU. However, it is specifically optimized for redundant system applications.
How does the module handle firmware updates?
The CPU supports field-upgradable firmware. In redundant systems, engineers typically update the standby processor first, verify system stability, and then transfer control before updating the primary CPU.
