Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Unified Memory Architecture – 1 MB shared program/data memory eliminates the fragmentation issues common in legacy Series 90-70 platforms, simplifying large-scale ladder migration projects.
- Embedded Ethernet + Dual Serial – Eliminates the need for a separate Ethernet Interface Module (EIM) in most topologies, reducing rack slot consumption and BOM cost.
- Hot-Standby Redundancy Ready – Pairs with IC695RMX128 redundancy module for CPU-level failover without application code changes.
- Backward Compatible – Accepts Series 90-70 I/O modules via IC694 adapter, protecting legacy field wiring investments during phased modernization.
- IEC 61131-3 Compliance – Supports all five programming languages in Proficy Machine Edition, enabling structured text for complex algorithms alongside traditional ladder logic.
- Long Product Lifecycle – GE Vernova maintains active support and firmware updates, reducing obsolescence risk for 10–15 year plant lifecycles.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the IC695CPU310 replace an IC693CPU374 directly?
A: Not slot-for-slot — the IC695CPU310 requires an RX3i backplane (IC695CHS012/016). However, it accepts IC694/IC693 I/O modules via the universal backplane, preserving field wiring. A Proficy ME project conversion tool automates ~90% of the logic migration.
Q: Does this CPU support EtherNet/IP (CIP)?
A: The embedded port supports SRTP and Modbus TCP natively. EtherNet/IP scanner/adapter functionality requires the IC695ETM001 Ethernet module with appropriate firmware.
Q: What is the maximum I/O count?
A: Up to 8,192 discrete I/O points and 2,048 analog channels across local and remote (RX3i Remote I/O) racks.
Q: Is hot-swap of the CPU supported?
A: CPU hot-swap is not supported. I/O modules on the same backplane may support hot-insertion depending on module type. Always de-energize the CPU slot before replacement.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: Proficy Machine Edition (PME) v8.0 or later. A free 30-day trial is available from GE Vernova’s software portal.
Q: Can this unit operate in high-vibration environments?
A: Yes. The IC695CPU310 meets IEC 60068-2-6 vibration testing (5–150 Hz, 1G). For severe shock environments, DIN rail anti-vibration mounts are recommended.
