GE IC695CPE400 – High-Performance CPU Module | PACSystems RX3i Platform
Engineering Background: The GE IC695CPE400 is the flagship CPU module of the PACSystems RX3i control platform — GE Automation & Controls’ premier industrial PLC architecture designed for mission-critical process and discrete manufacturing environments. Built on a dual-core 1.1 GHz Intel Atom processor, this module delivers deterministic real-time control with the processing headroom required for complex ladder logic, function block diagrams, and structured text programs running simultaneously.
Product Positioning: Targeted at procurement engineers and system integrators sourcing a proven, high-availability CPU for new installations or legacy RX3i system expansions, the IC695CPE400 is the direct successor to the IC695CPE330/CPE302 family. It is the recommended CPU for applications demanding high-speed I/O scanning, large program memory, and integrated dual Ethernet ports — eliminating the need for a separate Ethernet interface module.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The IC695CPE400 occupies a single slot in any RX3i Universal Backplane (7, 12, or 16-slot). The CPU communicates with I/O modules via the high-speed RX3i backplane bus (up to 300 MB/s) and with remote I/O drops via Ethernet or PROFIBUS. The dual embedded Ethernet ports support independent network segmentation — one port for the plant network (SCADA/HMI) and one for the control network (I/O devices, drives, remote racks) — enforcing network isolation without additional hardware.
Signal flow: Field devices → RX3i I/O modules → Backplane bus → IC695CPE400 CPU scan → Output resolution → Backplane bus → Output modules → Actuators/drives. Ethernet supervisory data is handled asynchronously via the embedded communication stack, ensuring deterministic scan performance is unaffected by network load.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the IC695CPE400 compatible with IC695CHS007 backplanes?
A: Yes. The IC695CPE400 is compatible with all RX3i Universal Backplanes (7, 12, and 16-slot variants).
Q: Can I replace an IC695CPE330 with an IC695CPE400 without reprogramming?
A: In most cases, yes. The IC695CPE400 is backward compatible with CPE330 programs. A firmware upgrade and minor hardware configuration update in PME may be required.
Q: Does the IC695CPE400 support redundancy?
A: Yes. When paired with the IC695RMX128 Redundancy Memory Xchange module, the IC695CPE400 supports hot-standby CPU redundancy with bumpless switchover.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: Proficy Machine Edition (PME) version 9.0 or later is required. PME supports Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Structured Text (ST), and Instruction List (IL).
Q: What is the lead time for in-stock units?
