Description
GE IC695CRU320QP is a high-performance redundancy control processor module designed for GE Fanuc’s PACSystems RX3i platform, engineered to deliver advanced control capabilities for mission-critical industrial applications. As an enhanced variant of the GE IC695CRU320, the QP designation signifies Quad Redundancy Support, enabling quadruple controller configurations for ultra-high reliability in environments where downtime is catastrophic. This module serves as the central control hub in distributed control systems (DCS) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), combining real-time processing, multi-protocol connectivity, and fail-safe redundancy mechanisms.
Equipped with a 1 GHz Intel Celeron M processor and 64 MB of non-volatile flash memory, the GE IC695CRU320QP supports up to four redundant controllers operating in a 2-out-of-4 (2oo4) voting architecture, ensuring seamless operation even if two controllers fail simultaneously. Its dual backplane interface—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. The module’s redundant communication ports (2x RS-232/RS-485 and 2x Ethernet) support protocols like Modbus RTU, SNP, and Ethernet/IP, while its built-in diagnostic tools provide real-time system health monitoring.

Key Features and Advantages
Quad Redundancy Architecture: The GE IC695CRU320QP supports 2oo4 voting, ensuring continuous operation even with two simultaneous controller failures. This is critical for applications like nuclear power plants or offshore oil platforms where single-point failures are intolerable.
Legacy System Compatibility: By supporting Series 90-30 I/O via the serial backplane, the module allows gradual migration from older GE Fanuc systems to modern RX3i platforms, protecting existing investments.
Enhanced Safety Certification: SIL 3 compliance and optional ATEX certification make it suitable for safety instrumented systems (SIS) in hazardous environments.
High-Speed Communication: Dual Ethernet ports enable real-time data exchange with HMIs and SCADA systems, while serial ports support integration with third-party devices using Modbus RTU or SNP protocols.
Advanced Diagnostics: LED indicators and embedded fault detection tools provide real-time system status updates, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) by up to 30%.
