4. Product Introduction & Supply Chain Strategy
The GE Fanuc IC695CPE310-ACAT is the core computing engine for the PACSystems RX3i platform, featuring a 1.1 GHz processor engineered to coordinate demanding discrete, motion, and process control systems. Utilizing a dual-bus backplane structure, it communicates simultaneously across high-speed PCI networks and legacy Series 90-30 serial topologies. This hybrid architecture allows facilities to transition infrastructure selectively without discarding existing I/O blocks.
From a procurement perspective, the IC695CPE310-ACAT represents a high-criticality “Class A” asset where a stock-out can completely freeze plant operations. Relying on third-party refurbished processors introduces severe performance risks due to aged capacitors, outdated firmware baselines, and micro-fractures in the internal logic board. Securing this module as a certified New Surplus unit ensures your buffer stock is ready for immediate hot-insertion, establishing a resilient Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) that protects plant uptime from End-of-Life (EOL) availability crunches.

5. Installation & Configuration Guide
Stage 1: Pre-Installation (Prep & Safety)
Isolate all field and backplane power loops flowing to the target RX3i rack using approved lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) protocols. Fasten a grounded ESD wrist strap to your wrist and connect it to the bare metal chassis of the rack enclosure. Before extracting the existing CPU, hook up a laptop and capture a complete application upload, hardware configuration dump, and register table backup using Proficy Machine Edition.
Stage 2: Removal
Unlock the wiring harnesses connected to the RS-232, RS-485, and RJ-45 Ethernet ports on the CPU front plate. If an IC695ACC400 Energy Pack is installed, unclip its interface cable from the processor housing. Press the release clips located at the top and bottom of the module housing and pull the processor straight toward you out of the backplane slots, taking great care to preserve the alignment of the dual-bus PCI pins.
Stage 3: Installation (Clone & Seat)
Verify that the slot guides are free of debris. Slide the new IC695CPE310-ACAT module into the designated CPU slots (typically Slots 1 and 2 on the main baseplate). Apply even, firm pressure across the module face until the top and bottom extraction tabs engage the rack cutouts with a noticeable click. Reattach all serial, network communication, and Energy Pack connections.
Stage 4: Power-On & Testing
Energize the RX3i system rack power supply. Monitor the front status LEDs: the “OK” light must transition to solid green, signaling that the processor successfully cleared its internal self-test diagnostics. Establish a direct connection through Proficy Machine Edition over the embedded Ethernet interface, clear any residual factory fault tables, verify the active hardware configuration file, and download the backup logic code.
6. Firmware/Software Versions & Upgrade Notes
The IC695CPE310-ACAT controller relies heavily on firmware alignment to maintain network handshakes.
- Baseline Compatibility: Early revisions of the CPE310 hardware shipped with firmware baselines in the V7.xx range, introducing basic Modbus/TCP client/server configurations.
- OPC UA Functionality: Upgrading the controller firmware to V8.20 or later activates native OPC UA communication protocols, enabling direct enterprise and SCADA connectivity.
- HART Integration: Later builds (V8.96 and above) incorporate advanced remote access to COMMREQ commands, specifically optimizing data collection from field-level HART instrumentation.
⚠️ CRITICAL FIRMWARE ARBITRAGE WARNING: Never replace an existing RX3i CPU with a card running a significantly different firmware layer without analyzing logic blocks beforehand. A sudden version jump (e.g., from V7.30 to V10.70) can alter execution cycles, cause communication timeouts on legacy Series 90-30 I/O cards, or trigger application blocks to fault due to variable array alignment changes. Document your original firmware version and match it on the new surplus card prior to commissioning.
7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does the “-ACAT” suffix mean on this IC695CPE310 part number?
The “-ACAT” designation indicates the exact manufacturing tracking code, hardware revision revision status, and shipping configuration bundle at the time of assembly. It operates with the identical 1.1 GHz processing engine, 10 MB user space, and dual-bus backplane interconnect found in any standard IC695CPE310 model, rendering it fully interchangeable inside standard PACSystems RX3i applications.
Is this processor a genuine new unit or a repaired card?
This product is a Brand New Surplus unit. It is not used, not pulled from a decommissioned plant, and not refurbished. All modules undergo rigorous quality verification to ensure OEM-level reliability. Every processor is held in clean, original packaging, showing zero trace of pin-scoring or board repairs, and ships with complete inbound traceability documents.
How does the battery-less retention system protect my program logic?
The IC695CPE310-ACAT utilizes flash non-volatile storage (NVS) for long-term project protection. When paired with an optional IC695ACC400 Energy Pack capacitor module, the CPU detects incoming system power loss instantly. The Energy Pack delivers localized power to the card for a short window, allowing the processor to execute a managed shutdown and write the active SRAM variable tables directly to the flash memory before the rail goes dead.
Can I run old GE Fanuc Series 90-30 I/O modules with this processor?
Yes. The universal baseplate used by the RX3i platform supports a dual-bus design that includes a high-speed PCI bus and a standard 90-30 style serial bus. This lets you place supported legacy Series 90-30 I/O modules or expansion racks directly under the management of the IC695CPE310-ACAT, protecting your historical hardware investments while improving overall compute speeds.
What kind of warranty coverage applies to this surplus CPU?
Every New Surplus IC695CPE310-ACAT unit comes backed by a comprehensive 1-year operational warranty. If a component defect occurs during this window, we handle replacement or repair immediately, shielding your operating budget from the limited 30-day structural warranties typically packaged with refurbished alternative components.
