Technical Specifications

Note: Electrical parameters not confirmed from official datasheet are intentionally omitted. Specifications will be verified against physical unit upon inquiry.

Solving the Discontinued Hardware Crisis

The PACSystems RX3i platform was designed as a migration bridge from GE Series 90-30 systems, and many facilities that made that transition in the 2000s and early 2010s are now facing a second discontinuation cycle. The IC695CPE305CA sits at the core of those racks. It is not a peripheral card that can be substituted with a generic alternative — it is the execution engine for the entire control program. Replacing it requires an exact hardware match or a full re-engineering of the control architecture.

DriveKNMS specializes in exactly this gap: the period between a manufacturer's end-of-life announcement and a facility's readiness to migrate. We do not sell new production hardware. We source, inspect, and supply the discontinued modules that keep existing systems operational.

Condition & Reliability Assurance

Every IC695CPE305CA unit that passes through DriveKNMS undergoes a structured 5-step inspection protocol before it is offered for sale. This process is designed specifically for legacy industrial hardware, where age-related degradation follows predictable failure patterns:

• Step 1 – Electrolytic Capacitor Assessment: Capacitor aging is the primary failure mode in CPU modules of this generation. Each board is visually and electrically inspected for bulging, leakage, and capacitance drift.
• Step 2 – Firmware Version Verification: The installed firmware revision is documented and disclosed. Compatibility with your existing RX3i rack configuration is confirmed prior to shipment where possible.
• Step 3 – Pin and Connector Inspection: Backplane connector pins are examined under magnification for oxidation, corrosion, and mechanical deformation. Affected contacts are cleaned using approved non-conductive methods.
• Step 4 – Functional Power-On Test: Units are powered and brought to initialization state to confirm basic CPU operation and absence of fault codes.
• Step 5 – Cosmetic and Label Audit: Original GE Fanuc labeling, revision markings, and serial number integrity are verified and documented in the shipment record.

Units are classified as New Surplus, Tested Refurbished, or Inspected Used, and this classification is stated explicitly in the quotation. No unit is shipped without a documented condition grade.

Key Features for System Maintenance

How do I confirm the unit is genuine GE Fanuc hardware and not a counterfeit?
All units are sourced from documented industrial asset recovery channels. Original manufacturer labeling, PCB markings, and revision codes are verified during inspection. We provide a condition report and, where available, original packaging documentation with each shipment.

Can you source other RX3i modules to complete a spare parts kit?
Yes. DriveKNMS maintains inventory across the PACSystems RX3i product family, including power supplies, communications modules, and I/O cards. Contact us with your full BOM and we will advise on availability.
