The GE IC695ACC400 is a dedicated Energy Pack accessory designed for GE Fanuc PACSystems RX3i programmable logic controllers. It acts as a power backup module for compatible RX3i CPUs, ensuring that during a loss of system power, the CPU retains enough energy to write user memory contents to non-volatile flash storage before shutting down. This capability helps protect critical data and system state in demanding industrial automation applications where unplanned outages can compromise operations and uptime.

Technical FAQs
What is the main purpose of the IC695ACC400?
It provides temporary backup power during system power loss so the CPU can save user memory to non-volatile flash.
Which RX3i CPUs is it compatible with?
Mainly with CPE302, CPE305, and CPE310 CPU modules.
How does the Energy Pack connect to the CPU?
Using the IC695CBL001 cable from the CPU’s 24 V rail.
Does it have its own power source?
Yes — it contains a rechargeable energy storage element (lithium battery) that charges from the PLC and discharges when needed.
Can this module be used with any CPU?
No — it is designed specifically for select RX3i CPUs and may not function with others.
What is its operating temperature range?
Typically 0 °C to 60 °C (32 °F to 140 °F).
Does it require external power to charge?
It charges automatically from the RX3i 24 V supply during normal operation.
How long does it take to charge?
Charging time varies but typically completes during regular RX3i operation.
Is it RoHS compliant?
Yes — it meets RoHS environmental standards.
Does it affect CPU performance when idle?
No — it remains passive and impacts only power loss conditions, not normal CPU operation.
