Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine if IC695CPE400-AAAA is the right CPU for your application:
- Program Size < 64MB: IC695CPE400-AAAA is sufficient. For larger programs, consider IC695CPE410 or IC695CPE420.
- Single Ethernet Network: IC695CPE400-AAAA provides 2 ports. For isolated dual-network topologies, IC695CPE420 offers enhanced port isolation.
- Redundancy Required: Pair with IC695RMX128 Hot Standby Redundancy Module for CPU redundancy.
- Legacy I/O Reuse: If migrating from Series 90-30, use IC695LRE001 adapter to retain existing I/O investment.
- Cybersecurity Requirements: For IEC 62443-compliant environments, upgrade to IC695CPE420 with role-based access control.
- Budget Optimization: Refurbished IC695CPE400-AAAA units from Konmask offer 40–60% cost savings with full functional testing.
