IC695CRU320 GE High-performance Redundancy Control Processor Module
GE IC695CRU320 is a high-performance redundancy control processor
module designed for GE Fanuc's PACSystems RX3i platform,
specializing in mission-critical industrial automation
applications. As part of the CRU series, this module serves as the
central control hub in distributed control systems (DCS) and
programmable logic controllers (PLCs), delivering seamless
redundancy and real-time processing capabilities. With support for
hot standby redundancy and advanced diagnostic features, the GE
IC695CRU320 ensures continuous operation in environments where
downtime is costly, such as power generation, oil & gas, and
pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its dual backplane bus
architecture—combining PCI and serial communication—enables
compatibility with both modern RX3i I/O modules and legacy Series
90-30 systems, facilitating phased migration without disrupting
operations.

Key Features and Advantages
- High-Speed Redundancy: Supports hot standby redundancy with seamless switchover, ensuring
continuous operation in applications like turbine control or
chemical processing. Its redundancy links integrate with modules
like the IC695RMX128 reflective memory module for real-time data
synchronization between redundant controllers.
- 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.
- Advanced Diagnostics: LED indicators and embedded fault detection tools provide
real-time system status updates, reducing mean time to repair
(MTTR) and improving maintenance efficiency.
- Scalable Performance: With support for up to 8 local racks and 32,000 I/O points, the GE
IC695CRU320 adapts to both small-scale and large distributed
control systems, making it suitable for applications ranging from
water treatment to automotive assembly lines.
- Multi-Protocol Connectivity: Built-in serial ports enable integration with third-party devices
using Modbus RTU, SNP, or custom protocols, while the PCI backplane
supports high-speed communication with PACSystems I/O modules.
Application Areas
- Power Generation: Integrates turbine control systems with grid management networks,
ensuring seamless synchronization and load balancing.
- Oil & Gas: Manages SCADA systems for remote monitoring and control of pumps,
valves, and offshore platforms.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Ensures continuous operation in cleanroom environments with strict
uptime requirements.
- Water Treatment: Coordinates distributed pump and filtration systems across
multiple sites, supporting real-time data exchange and fault
recovery.
- Automotive Assembly: Controls robotic arms and conveyor systems in high-speed
production lines, leveraging redundancy to minimize downtime.
