Description
GE IC695CRU320CA is a specialized high-performance redundancy control processor module designed for GE Fanuc’s PACSystems RX3i platform, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial automation in critical environments. As an enhanced variant of the GE IC695CRU320, the CA designation indicates compliance with Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certifications, ensuring adherence to North American safety and performance standards. This module serves as the central control hub in distributed control systems (DCS) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), delivering seamless redundancy, real-time processing, and robust communication capabilities.
Key enhancements over the standard GE IC695CRU320 include expanded temperature tolerance (-20°C to 60°C), enhanced EMI/RFI protection, and compliance with hazardous location classifications (Class I, Div. 2, Groups A-D). The module supports hot standby redundancy with automatic switchover (<50 ms), ensuring continuous operation in applications such as oil & gas pipelines, chemical processing plants, and power generation facilities. Its dual backplane architecture—PCI bus for high-speed I/O and serial bus for legacy compatibility—enables integration with both modern PACSystems modules and legacy Series 90-30 devices, facilitating cost-effective system upgrades.
