Product Role & System Fit
The IC695CPE305-AB serves as a central processing unit (CPU) for PACSystems RX3i PLC systems — a controller platform widely used in industrial environments for real-time control of machinery, processes, and automated assets. In a typical installation, the CPU is installed in the main rack, where it orchestrates operations across I/O modules, network interfaces, and communication peripherals.
Unlike smaller embedded controllers, this RX3i CPU is designed for modular scalability: it can directly control local racks and communicate with remote I/O or auxiliary systems. It sits at the core of the process logic and executes user-developed programs with deterministic timing, ensuring predictable performance for production lines, batch processes, or continuous operations.
From an integration perspective, the IC695CPE305-AB fits seamlessly with GE’s universal backplane architecture, allowing compatibility with standard RX3i PCI devices and even supporting select Series 90-30 serial devices where appropriate. This flexibility eases migration projects where legacy systems are being upgraded incrementally, preserving investment in existing I/O hardware while modernizing the control logic.
By supporting multiple communication protocols natively, the CPU becomes a bridge between field instruments, HMI/SCADA systems, and other enterprise systems. Its internal Ethernet port simplifies network configurations, and the presence of serial interfaces ensures that even older field equipment without Ethernet capabilities can stay integrated within the control strategy.
