GE Fanuc IC698CRE040

The IC698CRE040 PACSystems RX7i CPU from GE Fanuc is engineered for real-time control of machines, processes, and material handling systems. It utilizes a VME64 standard format for I/O and smart option module communication via a rack-mounted backplane. The CPU is powered by an 1800MHz Pentium-M microprocessor and incorporates 64 MB of user memory with battery backup and 64 MB of non-volatile user flash memory. An essential feature of this unit is its hot standby (HSB) redundancy capability, which requires the use of a Redundancy CPU and Redundancy Memory Xchange module (IC698RMX016) configured as a redundancy link. The moisture and built-in Ethernet port facilitate communication with programming devices and HMI systems, supporting web data monitoring through a maximum of 16 simultaneous web server and FTP connections. Advanced functionality includes bit-in-word referencing, a battery-backed calendar clock, and firmware upgrades via RS-232 or RS-485 serial ports. The embedded Ethernet interface supports SRTP Channels, Modbus/TCP Server, and Modbus/TCP Client communication with two full-duplex ports that automatically negotiate network speed and detect crossover connections. The user-configurable Redundant IP capability enhances EGD configuration exchange productivity. Power requirements for the unit are +5 VDC at 6.8 Amps nominal, with +12 VDC and -12 VDC both at 0.003 Amps nominal. The IC698CRE040 is compatible with Series 90-70 discrete and analog I/O, as well as various communications modules including VME.
