GE IC698CPE010

The GE IC698CPE010, based on our previous discussion and a refined web search, is a Central Processing Unit (CPU) within the GE Fanuc RX7i PACSystems series. Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities:

• Function (Central Processing Unit):

  • The IC698CPE010 acts as the brain of the RX7i PACSystem. It’s responsible for processing instructions, calculations, and data flow within the system. It communicates with various input/output (I/O) modules and other devices connected to the system rack.

• Applications (Industrial Automation):

  • The IC698CPE010 is used in various industrial automation applications requiring real-time control and data processing, such as:
    • Factory automation (controlling production lines, robots)
    • Process control (chemical processing, power generation)
    • Building automation (HVAC systems, lighting control)

• Specifications (Typical):

• • 
  • Here are some common specifications you might find for the IC698CPE010:
    • Processor: 300 MHz Celeron
    • User memory: 10 Mbytes battery-backed
    • Non-volatile memory: 10 Mbytes Flash
    • I/O memory: Configurable up to 32Kbits for discrete I/O
    • Communication ports: Two (2) Ethernet 10/100 Mbps, Two (2) isolated RS232 and one RS232 Ethernet station manager port

• Availability (Potentially Discontinued):

• 

• • The RX7i PACSystems series might be discontinued or transitionin
  • g to newer platforms. Here are some possibilities for obtaining the IC698CPE010:
    • Check with Surplus Stock Suppliers: Look for reputable suppliers specializing in older industrial automation equipment.
    • Online Marketplaces (with caution): Verify seller reputation and ensure compatibility with your system before purchasing.
    • Contact GE (Emerson Automation): Inquire about potential availability, upgrades, or migration options to newer platforms.

How I can Assist You Further:

• Finding Datasheets or User Manuals: I can search online through archived resources or third-party sources to find datasheets or user manuals for the IC698CPE010. These documents will provide detailed specifications, programming instructions, and troubleshooting guides (availability might be limited).

• Identifying Alternatives: If the IC698CPE010 is unavailable, I can help you search for compatible CPUs from Emerson Automation (successor to GE Fanuc) or other manufacturers that might work within your RX7i PACSystem (consideration of slot compatibility and communication protocols).

• Migrating to Newer Systems: If the RX7i platform is obsolete, I can help you research newer industrial automation systems from GE (Emerson Automation) or other manufacturers that might be suitable replacements for your control needs.

Important Considerations:

• System Compatibility: Ensure any replacement CPU is strictly compatible with your existing RX7i PACSystem backplane and I/O modules. Using incompatible components can lead to malfunctions.

• Software Compatibility: Compatibility with your existing control software might be a concern when considering replacements.

I hope this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any specific questions about the GE IC698CPE010, your RX7i PACSystems setup, or replacement options for your industrial control system.
