Emerson IC695CPE305-BCAB CPE305 Controller, Hardware Release BCAB
A backplane-mounted RX3i controller whose BCAB hardware and firmware identity must remain attached to the machine record.
Key Information
IC695CPE305-BCAB is the BCAB release of the PACSystems RX3i CPE305 controller. Emerson records BCAB in the May 2023 release history with firmware 10.85.
The CPE305 platform provides 6 MB of user memory, nonvolatile flash retention, a two-port Gigabit-capable Ethernet switch and one USB-A 2.0 interface. The controller supports a broad protocol set, but the enabled services still depend on the installed firmware and project.
Emerson states that BCAB resolves an energy-pack charging condition that could prevent memory retention after a power cycle; this release note belongs with the exact controller label.
Functions
Application execution
Runs the PACSystems control project and handles discrete, analog and communications data within the RX3i system.
Embedded network services
Provides switched Ethernet ports for supported SRTP, Modbus TCP/IP, OPC UA, EGD, PROFINET and other documented services.
Retentive control record
Uses user memory, nonvolatile flash and the energy-pack arrangement to preserve the approved application baseline.
Release-controlled diagnostics
Combines controller status, network diagnostics and firmware identity for service decisions.

FAQ
Which BCAB record should accompany IC695CPE305-BCAB?
Provide the complete label, firmware 10.85 record, energy-pack identity, rack layout, project archive and Ethernet configuration.
Why is the energy pack important when servicing IC695CPE305-BCAB?
Emerson links BCAB to a correction for improper charging and loss of memory retention after a power cycle.
Can another CPE305 suffix be treated as identical to IC695CPE305-BCAB?
Not automatically. Hardware and firmware release notes must be compared before a different suffix is accepted.
What network evidence is useful for a IC695CPE305-BCAB quotation?
Include port assignments, IP settings, enabled protocols, switch topology, controller role and any security constraints.
How should IC695CPE305-BCAB be accepted after replacement?
Verify project integrity, retained data, energy-pack status, I/O operation, communications and a supervised power-cycle recovery.
