IC698CPE030 GE PACSystems RX7i, VME 600 MHz CPU

Description:

The IC698CPE030 is a cutting-edge Central Processing Unit (CPU) from the PACSystem RX7i line of Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC), engineered to address the contemporary demands for automation, connectivity, and integration within industrial settings. Previously produced by GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP), this CPU has transitioned to Emerson Automation's portfolio following their acquisition of the PACSystem RX7i series.

Boasting a robust computer-level microprocessor—specifically, a 600MHz Pentium-M with 64 MB of user memory and an equivalent amount of user flash memory—the IC698CPE030 ensures rapid execution, achieving a Boolean processing speed of 0.069 milliseconds per 1,000 Boolean contacts/coils. Its capacity extends to managing up to 32K bits of Discrete Input/Output (I/O) and 32K Words of Analog I/O. The CPU can accommodate a substantial 512 program blocks, each capable of holding up to 128 KB of memory, making it suitable for complex control applications.

Communication capabilities are a highlight, featuring dual Ethernet ports that automatically adjust to network transmission rates and support both half and full duplex modes. These ports also facilitate built-in Web server and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) functionalities, enabling remote monitoring and configuration. Complementing the Ethernet interfaces, the CPU includes one RS232 port, one RS485 port, and a station manager port, collectively supporting a broad spectrum of communication protocols like SRTP, Modbus TCP (both Server and Client), Ethernet Global Data (EGD), Modbus RTU Slave, SNP, and Serial I/O for comprehensive connectivity options.

As part of the GE Fanuc family, the IC698CPE030 integrates seamlessly into the Rx7i I/O rack system, leveraging the VME64 base architecture to bridge new and legacy VME embedded technologies with high-speed throughput. Its technical prowess includes floating-point mathematics and Boolean logic operations, while advanced programming is facilitated through Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, and C programming languages.

The CPU supports a variety of modules including the Series 90-70 discrete and analog I/O modules, compatible VME modules, and a wide array of programmers and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) devices. It operates on voltages of +5, +12, or -12 Volts DC and draws a backplane current of 3.4 Amps at 5 Volts DC.

Additionally, the IC698CPE030 features isolated communication ports: an RS-485 serial port, an RS-232 serial port, and a dedicated RS-232 Ethernet station manager port. Its dual embedded Ethernet ports offer EGD data exchange, high-speed TCP/IP transmission, and support for protocols such as Modbus/TCP Server, Modbus/TCP Client, and SRTP Channel, enhancing its ability to interact with programming tools and HMI systems.

Configured with Proficy Machine Edition (ME) Logic Developer software version 4.5 or later, the IC698CPE030 provides an advanced programming environment and enables web-based data monitoring via Web servers and FTP connections, further reinforcing its position as a versatile and powerful solution in modern industrial automation landscapes.
