{"product_id":"ge-fanuc-ic698cpe040","title":"GE Fanuc IC698CPE040","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe IC698CPE040 is a high-performance Central Processing Unit designed for the RX7i series by GE Fanuc, operating at a processing speed of 1.8 MHz. This unit incorporates a Pentium-M microprocessor, complemented by 64 MB of user memory and 64 MB of user flash memory, enabling robust real-time control of devices, processes, and material handling systems. The IC698CPE040 is mounted on a rack-based backplane that ensures seamless communication with I\/O modules and smart option modules through the VME64 Standard format. Integrated Ethernet ports allow for efficient communication between the CPU, programming devices, and various Human-Machine Interface (HMI) systems. Upon powering up, the IC698CPE040 performs a comprehensive self-diagnostic check, indicated by a sequence of LED lights during initialization. Once this process is complete, the OK LED blinks and then illuminates steadily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure data integrity, the CPU features a lithium battery pack (IC698ACC701) that protects RAM memory and operates the calendar clock during power outages. Scheduled replacement of this battery is recommended to prevent memory loss. Key features of the IC698CPE040 include support for auto-located symbolic variables capable of utilizing the entire user memory, compatibility with VME modules, a test edit mode for live program modifications, bit-in-word referencing, and three dedicated serial ports. Firmware for both the CPU and modules can be updated via the WinLoader using the CPU's RS-232 or RS-485 serial ports. The IC698CPE040 stands as a reliable choice for complex automation and control applications, providing flexibility and ease of use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GE FANUC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46964467859692,"sku":"IC698CPE040","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/1112\/6600\/files\/GE_FANUC_7b669b3e-5215-4ddc-8635-49a882a8b24c.png?v=1762701501","url":"https:\/\/www.industrialautomationco.com\/products\/ge-fanuc-ic698cpe040","provider":"Industrial Automation Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
