The GE Fanuc IC698CPE010 serves as the high-performance computational core for the PACSystems RX7i family. Built upon the robust VME64 standard architecture, this CPU utilizes a 300MHz Intel Celeron microprocessor to execute complex industrial logic and manage high-volume data throughput. The module eliminates the complexity of external networking hardware by integrating an auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port directly into the faceplate. With its massive memory capacity and rapid Boolean execution speeds (0.195ms per 1K contacts), the IC698CPE010 handles demanding mid-to-high range applications, including turbine control, large-scale water treatment, and high-speed motion synchronization.

Optimized Data Pipeline via VME64: The CPU leverages the VME64 backplane to provide superior bandwidth for I/O scanning. This architecture allows the IC698CPE010 to communicate with high-density I/O modules and specialized motion cards without bottlenecking the main logic loop.
Integrated Communication Stack: By hosting the Ethernet stack directly on the CPU, the module reduces system latency and rack space requirements. It supports multiple protocols simultaneously, enabling the controller to talk to an HMI via SRTP while exchanging peer-to-peer data with other PLCs using EGD (Ethernet Global Data).
Robust Memory Redundancy: The 10MB of non-volatile flash memory provides a permanent safety net for user programs. Even in the event of a total battery failure, the CPU retains the core application logic, preventing costly re-programming and extended downtime.
Real-Time Remote Diagnostics: The built-in web server allows engineers to access system variables, diagnostic tables, and fault logs via a standard web browser. This remote visibility facilitates faster troubleshooting in geographically dispersed or hazardous plant areas.
Does this CPU support hot-swapping within the RX7i rack?No. You must power down the RX7i rack before removing or installing the IC698CPE010. Replacing the CPU while the backplane is energized can cause irreversible damage to the microprocessor and VME connector pins.
How long does the battery last for data retention?Under nominal conditions (20°C), the battery provides up to 5 years of RAM backup. We recommend replacing the battery every 2-3 years as part of a proactive maintenance schedule to ensure user data remains secure during long-term power cycles.
Is this product "Brand New"?We guarantee that this IC698CPE010 is 100% Brand New and Original GE Fanuc/Emerson equipment. Every unit ships in its original factory packing with a full 12-month technical warranty.
Can I increase the operating temperature range?The standard operating limit is 50°C. However, by installing a dedicated fan tray in the RX7i enclosure to improve airflow, you can safely extend the operating temperature range to 60°C.
