GE IC695CPU315-CD – High-Performance Modular Processor Unit

Engineered for industrial automation systems, the GE IC695CPU315-CD processor delivers reliable performance in challenging environments where precision matters. This modular unit handles complex control tasks across manufacturing, energy, and process industries, combining speed with adaptability for critical operations.

Processor Speed: 40 MHz

Operating Voltage: 24 VDC

Memory: 8K Words

Input/Output Channels: 16 built-in (expandable via modules)

Communication Interfaces: RS-485, Ethernet

Operating Temperature: -20°C to +60°C

Power Consumption: 1.5 W (typical)

Common deployment includes assembly line automation in automotive plants, where expandable I/O channels accommodate additional sensors and actuators during system upgrades. Energy sector installations benefit from its Ethernet connectivity for SCADA integration, often paired with GE’s IC698CPE010 communication module or VMIVME-7807 I/O boards. Field reports confirm stable performance in outdoor oil rig control cabinets exposed to temperature extremes.

Redundant power input terminals allow dual 24VDC connections for fault tolerance in continuous-process facilities. Compatibility with GE’s 90-30 series backplanes enables seamless retrofitting without complete system overhaul. The fanless design reduces maintenance needs in dusty environments, while built-in diagnostics streamline troubleshooting. For instance, a textile mill upgraded their loom control systems using this processor’s Ethernet port to implement real-time production monitoring without latency issues.
