IC695CRU320‑EN Redundancy Module | GE Fanuc PACSystems RX3i

Product Description

The GE Fanuc IC695CRU320‑EN is a high-availability redundancy processor designed for PACSystems RX3i control systems. It functions as a backup CPU, ensuring seamless switchover in case the primary controller fails, thereby preventing costly industrial downtime. Moreover, the module supports hot-standby redundancy, advanced diagnostics, and multiple communication interfaces, enabling reliable control for complex industrial automation environments. In addition, its compact design allows easy integration into existing PACSystems RX3i racks while maintaining up to 131,072 discrete I/O points and 16,384 analog I/O points for large-scale operations. The IC695CRU320‑EN is ideal for applications in power generation, petrochemical plants, and large manufacturing facilities where uptime and precision control are critical.
