Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the IC695CPE400-ABAB replace an IC695CPE305 or IC695CPE400 (non-ABAB)?
A: Yes. The ABAB firmware revision is backward compatible. Existing programs can be loaded directly with no modification required in most cases. Verify firmware compatibility in Proficy Machine Edition before deployment.
Q: Does this CPU support redundancy configurations?
A: The IC695CPE400-ABAB supports Hot Standby CPU Redundancy when paired with IC695RMX228 redundancy memory exchange modules and a compatible redundancy backplane.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: GE Proficy Machine Edition (PME) Logic Developer-PLC, version 8.0 or higher. PME supports IEC 61131-3 languages including Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, Structured Text, Instruction List, and Sequential Function Chart.
Q: Is this module suitable for SIL-rated safety applications?
A: The standard IC695CPE400-ABAB is not SIL-rated. For functional safety applications, consider GE’s PACSystems RSTi-EP Safety CPU or third-party safety PLCs certified to IEC 61508 / IEC 62061.
Q: Can I use this CPU with legacy Series 90-30 I/O modules?
A: Yes, via the IC694BEM331 bus expansion module or by using the RX3i universal backplane which accepts both RX3i and Series 90-30 I/O modules in the same rack.
