Executes PACSystems control logic with a 1 GHz CPU and 64 MB user memory.
Product Identification
IC695CPU320-GL is a PACSystems RX3i rack CPU. The base CPU320 platform uses a 1 GHz Celeron-M processor, 64 MB of user memory and embedded RS232 and RS485 serial interfaces.
The CPU supports both the RX3i PCI backplane and the high-speed serial backplane. Network interfaces are provided through selected RX3i modules because the CPU320 does not include an embedded Ethernet port.
GL is part of the complete order identity and must remain on the enquiry, label record and replacement comparison; no GL-specific technical change is inferred without its controlled release documentation.

Functions
Supports serial communications through embedded RS232 and RS485 ports.
Works with RX3i PCI and high-speed serial backplane modules in the configured rack.
Retains application memory through the documented battery-backed and nonvolatile memory resources.
Applications
- RX3i machine and process control systems requiring rack-based PACSystems execution.
- Installed CPU320 systems that use separate Ethernet or other communications modules.
- Legacy modernization projects where the complete GL revision must remain traceable.
- Controller replacements supported by an archived PAC Machine Edition project and rack inventory.
Lifecycle
- Record the full IC695CPU320-GL label, serial number, firmware and rack slot before any replacement decision.
- Back up the PAC Machine Edition project, hardware configuration, passwords, memory contents and network-module settings.
- Check battery or energy-pack arrangement and data-retention state before removing power.
- After exchange, verify I/O scan, serial and network communications, redundancy if used and all safety interlocks.

FAQ
Can IC695CPU320-GL be ordered as a generic IC695CPU320?
The base platform may be discussed generically, but procurement and service records should retain the GL suffix until revision compatibility is confirmed.
Does IC695CPU320-GL provide an Ethernet port on the CPU faceplate?
No. The CPU320 platform uses supported RX3i communication modules for Ethernet networking.
What project evidence should accompany an IC695CPU320-GL enquiry?
Provide the complete CPU label, firmware, PAC Machine Edition project, rack and module list, battery or energy-pack details and communications configuration.
What must be checked before transferring retained memory?
Confirm the approved retention device, battery or energy-pack condition, firmware compatibility, project version and site backup procedure.
What proves IC695CPU320-GL is ready after replacement?
Verify hardware configuration, I/O scan, serial and network paths, application checksums, retained data and an approved process or machine test.
