GE Fanuc IC698CMX016

The IC698CMX016 is a Control Memory Xchange module from the GE Fanuc RX7i Series, specifically designed for the PACSystems RX7i programmable controllers. This module facilitates seamless communication and data transfer between devices and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) over a high-speed network employing 2.12 gigabaud fiber optic technology. Capable of supporting up to 256 nodes in a reflective memory network, the IC698CMX016 efficiently connects 5565 devices, forming a daisy loop configuration that ensures rapid status updates across all nodes without delay. This module boasts an effective data rate of 2.12 gigabaud, with a data transfer rate ranging from 6.2 megabytes per second to 3.2 megabytes per second, contingent upon the density of redundant information. The access time for data transactions varies between 200 nanoseconds and 400 nanoseconds, optimizing performance in critical applications such as reflective networks and hot standby CPU redundancy systems. The IC698CMX016 features 16 megabytes of reflective memory to store and process data and is installed using a 62.5-micron core LC type connector within the RX7i PACSystems rack. This module operates on a 5-volt bus that requires a minimum current of 1.2 amperes, making it a vital component for advanced industrial automation solutions.
