Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are commonly evaluated as replacements or equivalents for the IC695CPE330-AFAT. Always verify firmware version and backplane compatibility before substitution.
- IC695CPE330 — Base CPE330 without AFAT suffix; functionally equivalent, confirm firmware revision
- IC695CPE305 — Single-core predecessor; lower throughput, same RX3i backplane
- IC695CPE400 — Upgraded successor with enhanced memory; drop-in compatible in most applications
- IC695CPE410 — Latest-generation RX3i CPU; higher performance, same form factor
- IC695CPU320 — Legacy RX3i CPU; compatible backplane, different firmware branch
- IC695CPU315 — Entry-level RX3i CPU; suitable for smaller I/O counts

Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the IC695CPE330-AFAT is the right controller for your application:
- I/O Count < 2,000 points: IC695CPE330-AFAT is well-suited; consider IC695CPE305 for smaller budgets
- I/O Count 2,000–8,000 points: IC695CPE330-AFAT recommended; evaluate IC695CPE400 for headroom
- I/O Count > 8,000 points or multi-rack: Upgrade to IC695CPE410 or consider a distributed architecture
- PROFINET IRT required: IC695CPE330-AFAT or IC695CPE400/410 — all support native PROFINET
- Legacy system retrofit: IC695CPE330-AFAT is the preferred drop-in for IC695CPU320 replacements
- Harsh environment (extended temp/vibration): AFAT suffix confirms suitability; verify with EMERSON datasheet

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can IC695CPE330 replace IC695CPE330-AFAT directly?
A: In most cases yes, but the AFAT suffix denotes specific factory acceptance testing. Confirm with your system integrator if the application requires AFAT-certified units.
Q: Is IC695CPE330-AFAT compatible with IC694 backplanes?
A: No. The IC695CPE330-AFAT requires IC695 universal backplanes. IC694 backplanes use a different bus architecture.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: Proficy Machine Edition (PME) version 9.0 or later is required for full CPE330 feature support.
Q: Can I upgrade firmware in the field?
A: Yes. Firmware updates are performed via USB or Ethernet using PME. Always back up your program before updating.
Q: Does Konmask.com offer repair services for IC695CPE330-AFAT?
A: We focus on supply of new and surplus units. For repair, we can refer you to certified EMERSON service partners.
