The GE IC695CPK400 is a high-performance rackless CPU module in the PACSystems RX3i platform, designed for advanced industrial automation, edge computing, and high-availability control systems.
It integrates a 1.2 GHz AMD G-Series quad-core processor, 64 MB memory, built-in communication switches, and an integrated energy pack, making it a powerful all-in-one controller for complex automation environments.
Unlike traditional rack-based CPUs, the CPK400 is a standalone controller, meaning it does not require a backplane rack. This simplifies system design while improving flexibility, installation speed, and scalability.
It is widely used in critical infrastructure, manufacturing automation, energy systems, and process industries where high-speed processing and system reliability are essential.
