► What is the primary function of the IC695CRU320-BA module? It serves as a high-performance central processing unit designed to support redundant, high-availability controller architectures within the RX3i platform.

► How does the redundancy feature operate during a failure? In a redundant pair configuration, the secondary CPU continuously synchronizes state data with the primary unit, allowing a seamless bumpless transfer of control if the primary CPU fails.
► What programming software is compatible with this CPU? It is configured and programmed using GE’s Proficy Machine Edition software suite supporting standard IEC 61131-3 programming languages.
► What communication interfaces are included on the module? It features built-in Ethernet ports dedicated to high-speed synchronization between redundant units, plant network communications, and remote I/O management.
► What type of physical backplane is required for installation? The module requires a PACSystems RX3i universal backplane slot capable of supporting high-speed RX3i PCI backplane communications and redundancy link requirements.
