Product Role & System Fit

The IC695CPE302 fits into GE’s PACSystems RX3i automation ecosystem as a central PLC controller that executes ladder logic, structured text, or function block programs while communicating with field I/O and enterprise systems. Installed in the CPU slot of an RX3i universal backplane, it serves as the principal logic solver, coordinating both local inputs and remotely distributed devices.

Unlike older generation controllers, where communication modules and CPUs were segregated, this RX3i CPU integrates multiple networking interfaces directly on board. Its Gigabit Ethernet ports allow high-speed data exchange and support redundancy via media redundancy protocols. This means control engineers can implement dual path networks that help maintain system continuity under a network event.

The module supports up to 255 remote I/O devices via remote concentrators, enabling wide-area distributed automation without compromising responsiveness. This makes it well suited for large plant floor deployments where centralized logic must execute commands across disparate physical zones, such as assembly lines, conveyor systems, or remote skids.

Software integration is another benefit: when paired with PAC Machine Edition and modern development tools, the IC695CPE302 enables tag-based engineering, reusable program blocks, and online diagnostics — features that reduce commissioning time and simplify long-term maintenance.
