The GE IC695CPE400 is one of the most advanced CPU modules in the PACSystems RX3i series, designed for high-speed industrial automation, edge computing, and large-scale process control.
Unlike traditional rack-mounted RX3i CPUs, the CPE400 is a rackless, standalone controller that combines high-performance processing, expanded communication capabilities, and industrial-grade reliability in a compact DIN-rail form factor.
It is widely used in mission-critical applications where deterministic performance, cloud connectivity, and multi-protocol communication are required, such as energy systems, advanced manufacturing, and infrastructure automation.
