Functional Role & Application Analysis
The GE IC695CPU315 is a high-performance central processing unit within the PACSystems RX3i series. It is engineered to handle complex industrial control algorithms and massive data processing tasks. Powered by a 1 GHz Intel Celeron-M processor and 20 MB of memory, it executes instructions in mere microseconds. This module serves as the brain of the RX3i rack, managing real-time I/O operations, executing logic, and bridging communication between the control layer and enterprise networks via its embedded Ethernet and serial ports.
Typical Use Cases:
- Complex Process Control: Managing continuous control loops and advanced regulatory control in chemical plants and refineries.
- High-Speed Manufacturing: Driving high-speed packaging lines and robotics where millisecond-level scan times are critical.
- Legacy System Upgrades: Serving as a direct, drop-in replacement for older, lower-performance CPUs like the IC693CPU313 to modernize 90-30 systems without rewriting code.
Our Quality Standard & Testing Process
We understand that the cost of an unreliable part is far greater than its purchase price. We have established a rigorous, multi-stage testing process to ensure every product we ship is 100% functional.
- Visual & Component Inspection: All parts undergo professional cleaning and visual inspection to ensure no physical damage, corrosion, or compromised components.
- Live System Test: The CPU is installed in a live RX3i test rack and run for 24 hours to verify continuous operation, boot sequence, and thermal stability.
- Full-Function Diagnostics: We test all communication ports, verify memory integrity, and run logic tests to confirm the processor executes commands accurately.
- Warranty Backing: Only parts that pass all diagnostic tests are approved for shipment and backed by our full 12-month warranty.

Compatibility & Migration Paths
To ensure this IC695CPU315 is 100% compatible with your system, you must check these key compatibility points. Failure to verify this is a common project risk.
- Firmware/Hardware Revisions: Confirm your existing Proficy Machine Edition software version supports the RX3i series. Older 90-30 software will not work with this PACSystems CPU.
- Required Components: This CPU requires an RX3i backplane and a compatible 24 VDC power supply. It will not fit in a standard 90-30 rack.
- Replacement & Alternatives: The IC695CPU315 is the official upgrade path for the obsolete IC693CPU313. It offers significantly more memory and processing power while maintaining backward compatibility with existing I/O modules.
