Product Introduction

GE 0880001-01 is a high-performance industrial control module (CPU/processor board) from GE Fanuc’s PACSystems RX3i series, serving as the core processing unit for PLC/DCS systems. It executes user programs, processes I/O data, and manages system communication, designed for real-time control of machinery, processes, and data acquisition systems. Built with industrial-grade components, it delivers high reliability in harsh environments and is a critical spare part for GE legacy system maintenance.
