Technical Specifications

Note: Electrical parameters such as clock speed and memory specifications vary by firmware revision. DriveKNMS does not publish unverified specifications. Contact us for confirmed unit details prior to purchase.

Solving the Discontinued Hardware Crisis

GE Automation's discontinuation of this module creates a structural problem for plant managers: the control logic, I/O mapping, and HMI integrations built around the RX3i architecture represent years of engineering investment. Replacing the CPU with a non-compatible successor requires re-engineering the entire control layer — a project that typically demands 6–18 months of engineering time, system integrator fees, and a planned production shutdown.

The IC695CPK330 is also commonly found in systems paired with GE's IC695PSD040 power supply and IC695ETM001 Ethernet module. If your facility runs any of these components, the CPU is statistically the highest-risk single point of failure in the rack.

Condition & Reliability Assurance

DriveKNMS applies a 5-step quality assurance protocol to every IC695CPK330 unit before it leaves our facility:

• Step 1 – Visual and Physical Inspection: Full examination of the module housing, connector pins, and PCB surface for corrosion, mechanical damage, or evidence of prior field failure.
• Step 2 – Electrolytic Capacitor Assessment: Aged electrolytic capacitors are the primary failure mode in legacy CPU modules. Each unit is assessed for capacitor bulging, leakage, and ESR deviation from specification.
• Step 3 – Firmware Version Verification: The installed firmware revision is documented and disclosed to the buyer. Compatibility with the target PME version is confirmed prior to shipment.
• Step 4 – Pin and Connector Integrity Check: Backplane connector pins are inspected under magnification for oxidation, bending, and contact resistance anomalies.
• Step 5 – Functional Power-On Test: Where test infrastructure permits, units are powered on and basic diagnostic routines are executed to confirm operational status.

Units are classified and priced according to condition: factory-sealed new, tested surplus, or professionally refurbished. Condition is disclosed in full on the order confirmation.

Key Features for System Maintenance

Q: Can you source additional units if I need more than one?
A: Contact us with your quantity requirement. DriveKNMS maintains active sourcing channels for legacy GE Automation hardware and can advise on availability timelines for larger orders.
