Features for the IC695CPU310 include configurable data and program memory, support of programming languages like Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, and C, as well as support of auto-located Symbolic Variables that can utilize any increment of user memory. The IC695CPU310 supports most Series 90-30 modules and expansion racks. It also supports up to 512 program blocks with a maximum size for a block being 128 Kilobytes. Battery memory retention is 5 years at 20 degrees Celsius, or 40 days nominal without applied power. The IC695CPU310 has a program storage of up to 10 Megabytes of battery-backed RAM and 10 Megabytes of non-volatile flash user memory. The current required from 5 Volt bus is 3.2 Amperes nominal; operating temperature is 0 to 60 degrees Celsius, or 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. This hardware supports floating point and it has a typical Boolean execution speed of 0.195 milliseconds per 1000 Boolean contacts/coils.

Additional specifications for the IC695CPU310 include a time of day clock accuracy that has a maximum drift of 2 seconds per day. Elapsed time clock (internal timing) accuracy is 0.01% maximum; embedded communications include RS-232 and RS-485. The maximum cable lengths for Port 1 (RS-232) and Port 2 (RS-485) are 15 meters (50 feet) and 1200 meters (4000 feet), respectively. Serial protocols supported include Modbus RTU Slave, SNP, and Serial I/O. This hardware has dual backplane bus support for RX3i PCI and 90-300-style serial. With regard to firmware upgrades, the IC695CPU310 CPU receives firmware upgrades through a CPU serial port. To install an upgrade, the manufacturer recommends that the installer connect WinLoader to the CPU RS-232 or RS-485 serial port.

The GE Fanuc / Emerson Automation IC693CPU310 comes with 2 (two) serial ports used for communication. Port one (1) supports RS-232 while port two (2) supports RS-485 communication standards. This GE Fanuc Automation unit is a type of programmable automation controller (PAC). It is regarded as an advanced automation unit, as it supports increased RAM, faster microprocessor, and faster logic execution. This GE Fanuc Automation unit comes in a compact assembly. It comes packed with ten (10) megabytes, or MB, of user memory. The GE Fanuc / Emerson Automation IC693CPU31 comes with a non-volatile memory of ten (10) megabytes. The non-volatile memory on this module is higher than any other PACs on the market. This device is equipped with an Intel Celeron M processor. Three hundred (300) megahertz (MHz) is the processing speed on the built-in Intel Processor. In only 0.195 milliseconds, this processor can successfully process up to 1000 (one thousand) boolean instructions. A downloading speed of 512 blocks is supported. This GE Fanuc Automation module is supported for use with two backplanes. These backplanes include the Rx3i 16 and Rx3i 12 slot universal backplanes. As the backplane connections on the GE Fanuc / Emerson Automation IC693CPU31 is established via a PCI, it enables data exchange at a high speed. IEC 61131-3 standard programming languages are supported on this module.

Unlike other modules, the GE Fanuc / Emerson Automation IC693CPU310 does not require rack or hub switches to operate. This redundancy CPU comes equipped with a 64 Megabytes of user memory. Along with an RJ-45 Ethernet port, there is also an RS-232 serial port on this module.
