The GE IC695CRU320 is a Central Processing Unit (CPU) module belonging to the GE Fanuc (now Emerson) PACSystems RX3i series. It is a high-performance processor designed to be the “brain” of an RX3i programmable automation controller (PAC) system. A key feature of this CPU is its support for hot standby redundancy, allowing for the configuration of two RX3i CPUs to perform the same function simultaneously. If the active CPU fails, the standby CPU seamlessly takes over, ensuring continuous operation for critical applications.
Key Features:
- Redundancy Support: Hot standby redundancy for high availability. Requires a separate redundancy memory exchange module (IC695RMX128/228).
- Processor: Intel Celeron-M microprocessor, 1 GHz clock speed.

- Memory: 64 MB non-volatile flash memory for user program and configuration, 64 MB battery-backed RAM for data.
- Serial Ports: Two independent serial ports supporting SNP, Serial I/O, Modbus Slave, and Modbus Master protocols (RS-232 and RS-485).
- Ethernet: Requires a separate Ethernet Interface Module (IC695ETM001) for Ethernet communication.
- Expansion: Supports both local and remote expansion racks using Series 90-30 I/O modules (not compatible with Series 90-30 main racks).
- Programming: Configured using GE Fanuc Proficy Machine Edition software.
- Diagnostics: Eight front-facing LED indicators for easy troubleshooting.
