GE IC695CBL001 Energy Pack Cable – Backup Power Interface | PACSystems RX3i Platform
Engineering Background: The IC695CBL001 is the dedicated interconnect cable between the GE PACSystems RX3i CPU module and its companion Energy Pack (IC695ACC400 / IC695ACC402). In the event of a power interruption, this cable enables the Energy Pack to supply hold-up power to the CPU, allowing the processor to complete its current scan cycle, flush volatile data to non-volatile storage, and execute a controlled shutdown — eliminating the risk of corrupted program memory or lost runtime data.
Product Positioning: Designed exclusively for GE Intelligent Platforms’ PACSystems RX3i architecture, the IC695CBL001 is a mandatory accessory for any RX3i installation requiring IEC 61131-compliant power-loss protection. It is a direct OEM replacement part, ensuring full compatibility with GE’s firmware and hardware revision matrix.

Engineering Advantages
- Controlled Shutdown Assurance: Provides the physical power path that allows the RX3i CPU to execute a graceful power-down sequence, protecting both user program and I/O table data.
- OEM Keyed Connectors: Polarized, proprietary connectors eliminate field wiring errors and ensure rated current capacity is maintained throughout the cable’s service life.
- Intra-Rack Form Factor: Short, managed cable length minimizes EMI exposure and simplifies panel layout within the Universal Backplane (IC695CHS012 / IC695CHS016).
- Direct Replacement Compatibility: Drop-in replacement for all RX3i CPU revisions; no firmware update or configuration change required.
- Long Service Life: Industrial-grade insulation rated for the full RX3i operating temperature range; suitable for high-vibration environments.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
In a standard RX3i rack, the IC695CBL001 routes from the Energy Pack connector port on the CPU faceplate to the power output port of the Energy Pack module seated in an adjacent or nearby slot. During normal operation, the Energy Pack charges its internal capacitor bank through the backplane. Upon detection of a power anomaly (voltage drop below threshold), the Energy Pack immediately sources hold-up current through the IC695CBL001 to the CPU’s internal power rail, sustaining operation for the duration required to complete the shutdown sequence — typically 10–500 ms depending on CPU load and Energy Pack capacity.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the IC695CBL001 required for all RX3i CPU installations?
A: Only if an Energy Pack (IC695ACC400 or IC695ACC402) is installed. Without an Energy Pack, the cable is not needed. However, GE strongly recommends Energy Pack deployment in any application where data integrity during power loss is critical.
Q: Can I use a generic cable as a substitute?
A: No. The IC695CBL001 uses proprietary keyed connectors specific to the RX3i platform. Generic cables will not mate correctly and may void the CPU warranty.
Q: What happens if the cable is damaged or missing?
A: The CPU will generate a fault (Energy Pack Not Connected) and the backup power function will be disabled. The system will continue to operate normally under power, but will not perform a controlled shutdown on power loss.
Q: Is this cable compatible with the RX7i platform?
A: No. The RX7i uses a different Energy Pack architecture. Consult GE/Emerson documentation for RX7i-specific accessories.
Q: Do you provide a Certificate of Conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes, CoC and test reports are available upon request for quality-critical procurement.
