Product Description

Description

The General Electric IC698CRE030 is a high-performance PACSystems RX7i CPU module designed for demanding industrial automation and process control applications. Built upon a 600 MHz Pentium-M microprocessor architecture, this central processing unit provides rapid execution speeds and deterministic control for large-scale industrial systems. The module operates within a VME64 Standard rack-mounted backplane format, facilitating high-speed data exchange with local I/O and intelligent option modules.

Featuring 64 MB of user memory alongside 64 MB of non-volatile flash memory, the IC698CRE030 ensures secure storage for user programs, hardware configurations, register data, and symbolic variables. It supports advanced availability features including Hot Standby (HSB) redundancy for critical applications requiring uninterrupted operation. System configuration and programming are handled through software environments such as Proficy Machine Edition, communicating via onboard serial ports or an integrated Ethernet interface.

Features

  • Powered by a 600 MHz Pentium-M microprocessor for high-speed instruction execution
  • Equipped with 64 MB of user memory and 64 MB of flash memory
  • Supports Hot Standby (HSB) redundancy configurations for high-availability systems
  • Integrated Ethernet port and multiple serial ports for programming, HMI connectivity, and network communications
  • Complies with VME64 Standard backplane architectures for robust rack mounting
  • Battery-backed user memory to protect volatile data during power cycles

Applications

  • Large-scale discrete manufacturing and assembly lines
  • Continuous process control in chemical, oil, and gas industries
  • Power generation and distribution automation
  • High-availability redundant control systems requiring bumpless transfer
