Product Role & System Fit
At its core, the GE IC695CPE305-RX is a programmable automation controller (PAC) designed to serve as the central processing unit in a PACSystems RX3i rack or chassis. Unlike traditional PLC CPUs with limited memory and basic logic execution, this module combines the deterministic control capabilities of PLCs with expanded memory and richer communications suited for distributed systems and multi-axis control.
The controller fits within the broader PACSystems ecosystem, connecting seamlessly to RX3i I/O modules, specialty communication cards, and motion control modules. Its architecture supports both ladder logic and structured text programming, which gives engineers the flexibility to select the programming paradigm that best suits their application — whether that’s traditional ladder logic for discrete control or structured text for complex algorithms.
Compatibility is a key strength. The GE IC695CPE305-RX works with existing GE libraries and structured device descriptions, allowing industrial automation teams to reuse code modules across systems. It is backward compatible with legacy racks and can interface with Ethernet, PROFIBUS, Modbus, and other industrial communication standards via expansion modules, making it a versatile choice for both retrofit projects and new plant installations.
This controller also adapts well to hybrid systems where some equipment relies on older PLCs while others operate on newer PAC platforms. The ability to unify control logic under one central unit simplifies maintenance and reduces the learning curve for technicians. When integrated into a supervisory SCADA or historian system, the GE IC695CPE305-RX becomes a critical node for collecting operational data and supporting predictive maintenance strategies.
Moreover, the module’s form factor is designed for easy deployment in control cabinets of varying sizes. Whether used in a compact panel for a small process line or a larger cabinet for a distributed control system, its interface and configuration facilitate clear system layout and wiring practices.
