The GE Fanuc Emerson IC698CRE030 is a CPU that can be employed for PACSystems* RX7i. This CPU offers a speed of 600 megahertz and high calculation efficiency employing an Intel Pentium M microprocessor with an HSB redundancy for critical applications. This device can be configured using C, ladder diagram, FBD and ST programming languages over either RS-232 or RS-485 serial port. The IC698CRE030 includes LED indicators to show the redundancy memory xchange module status, a battery-backed memory of 64 megabytes and 64 megabytes of flash memory. The CPU offers 32-kilo discrete inputs and outputs. The device provides 69 microseconds per 1000 boolean function and supports RS-485, RS-232 and Ethernet serial communication ports. The IC698CRE030 Ethernet port offers a data rate of either 10 megabytes per second or 100 megabytes per second.

This CPU has configurable data and program memory. The IC698CRE030 supports floating-point calculations and error detecting and correction feature. The device supports serial I/O, SNP and Modbus RTU slave protocols and contains a battery-backed memory to maintain data, program memory and calendar clock operation. This unit requires a current of 3.2 amperes at a voltage of 5 volts DC, 3 milliamperes at 12 volts DC or 3 milliamperes at -12 volts DC. The IC698CRE030 includes flash memory to store and save CPU firmware and user data during the upgrading process between PC and the serial port. This device weighs approximately 450 grams (0.99 pounds) while shipping and operates at 0 degrees to 60 degrees Celsius (32 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) for industrial applications.

The GE Fanuc IC698CRE030 Pentium-M redundancy CPU comes with a ten (10) or one hundred (100) megabytes rated communication speed. It comes equipped with dual ports. Both of these ports are RJ-45 ports. It comes equipped with an auto-sensing switch. This Ethernet port can be used to do multiple things, including uploading, and downloading data, and monitoring online activity. 600 megahertz is its rated speed. This device belongs to the GE RX7i PACSystem series of products manufactured by GE Fanuc. It is meant to be installed with a VME64 backplane. The IC698CRE030 Pentium-M redundancy CPU comes with embedded Ethernet Ports. The rated communication speed on this device is ten (10) or one hundred (100) megabytes. It comes with sixty-four (64) megabytes. Along with the RJ-45 Ethernet port, this GE Fanuc CPU also comes with an RS-232 serial port. This port is primarily used for station management. For RS-232 communication and RS-485 communication, this GE Fanuc CPU comes with two more communication ports. The IC698CRE030 comes with indicator LED lights for displaying the status of the different ports. It also comes equipped with a connector that is a female 9-pin D-sub.

The GE Fanuc IC698CRE030 CPU RX3i PACSystem supports web monitoring, which sets it apart from other similar modules. This module is rated at six hundred (600) MHz (megahertz). It can be used with VME64 backplane from the RX7i PLC. The built-in Ethernet port comes with a rating of 10 or 100 megabytes. It comes with dual RJ-45 ports. There is an auto-sensing switch on this module. This switch allows both file transfer over the internet, and web monitoring.

The embedded Ethernet interface provides the IC698CRE030 with two RD-485 Ethernet ports. The ports can be connected to other Ethernet devices independently or at the same time. The ports can sense the data rate, which is 10 or 100 mbps, duplex, either half or full, and cabling arrangement, either straight through or crossover, of the attached link. The IC698CRE030 is meant to be installed in slot one of the main rack. As an RX7i CPU, the IC698CRE030 uses a VME64 backplane. This backplane expands the bandwidth when compared to other VME based systems. The CPU also supports hot standby redundancy. This feature allows for a critical application or process to continue operating if a failure occurs in any single component. The CPU comes with seven indicator LEDs to alert operators to any changes in status the CPU may be experiencing. The CPU ok light shows whether the CPU has passed its power-up diagnostics and is functioning properly. The Run LED shows whether the CPU is currently operating. The OUTS ENA indicator light signifies if there are any output scans ongoing, and the C1 and C2 ports signal if there is any ongoing activity in either of the ports. The CPU also has a battery indicator that turns on if the battery has failed or has been unattached and a system fault LED that tells operators if the CPU has stopped because of a fault. The CPU’s Ethernet interface allows for up to 16 web server and FTP connections to be made.
