The CPU includes 20 MB of battery-backed RAM for user programs and data, alongside 20 MB of non-volatile flash memory for program storage, providing resilient data retention and quick recovery after power interruptions. It supports programming in multiple IEC 61131-3 languages, including Ladder Logic, Structured Text, and Function Block Diagram, as well as the C programming language for advanced users. The module is equipped with two serial communication ports: RS-232 and RS-485, supporting protocols such as Modbus RTU Slave, Serial I/O, and SNP, ensuring flexible connectivity with other automation devices and supervisory control systems.

Technically, the IC695CPU315-BB operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 60°C, consumes approximately 2.2 Amps of power at 5 V DC, and fits into a single slot within a standard RX3i rack system. It features a dual backplane bus system that supports both high-speed PCI and legacy serial bus communication, enabling easy migration from older GE hardware while maintaining compatibility with modern high-speed I/O modules.
