GE IC698CPE020 module designed

  • Factory Automation: Used in manufacturing processes for controlling robots, assembly lines, material handling systems, and other industrial equipment.
  • Machine Control: Suitable for applications requiring precise and fast control of machinery, such as packaging machines, printing presses, and textile machines.
  • Data Acquisition: Capable of collecting data from sensors and other devices for monitoring and analysis purposes.

Important Considerations:

  • Legacy Product: The IC698CPE020 might be a legacy product as GE doesn’t actively promote it on their current website. While some distributors might still have stock, consider newer alternatives from GE Fanuc that might offer improved performance, features, and support for more recent technologies.
  • Availability: Check with authorized GE Fanuc distributors for availability and pricing.
  • Programming Knowledge: Programming experience with GE’s PACSystems software is required to develop and implement control logic for the IC698CPE020.

Description

The GE IC698CPE020 is a CPU (Central Processing Unit) module designed for the PACSystems RX7i series by GE Automation (now part of GE Fanuc under Emerson Automation Solutions). Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities and key points:

Function:

  • Acts as the brain of the PACSystems RX7i system, responsible for processing instructions, controlling operations, and managing data flow.
  • Supports real-time machine control applications, meaning it can process data and make control decisions very quickly (often in milliseconds).
  • Communicates with other modules within the RX7i rack using a VME backplane (a high-speed bus for communication within the system).

Specifications (may vary depending on specific source):

  • Processor: Pentium III, 700 MHz (might have variations)
  • User memory: 10 MB
  • Non-volatile/Flash memory: 10 MB
  • I/O memory: Up to 32Kbits for discrete inputs and outputs (%I and %Q)
  • Up to 32K words each for analog inputs and outputs (%AI and %AQ)
  • Battery memory retention: Nominal 40 days without applied power (for program and data)

Applications:

  • Factory Automation: Used in manufacturing processes for controlling robots, assembly lines, material handling systems, and other industrial equipment.
  • Machine Control: Suitable for applications requiring precise and fast control of machinery, such as packaging machines, printing presses, and textile machines.
  • Data Acquisition: Capable of collecting data from sensors and other devices for monitoring and analysis purposes.

Important Considerations:

  • Legacy Product: The IC698CPE020 might be a legacy product as GE doesn’t actively promote it on their current website. While some distributors might still have stock, consider newer alternatives from GE Fanuc that might offer improved performance, features, and support for more recent technologies.
  • Availability: Check with authorized GE Fanuc distributors for availability and pricing.
  • Programming Knowledge: Programming experience with GE’s PACSystems software is required to develop and implement control logic for the IC698CPE020.
