The GE Fanuc IC698CPE030 PACSystem Rx7i Central Processing Unit is a Pentium processor for the GE Rx7i system. The Rx7i CPUs are software-programmed to perform real-time control of different machines, application processes, and material handling systems. The IC698CPE030 CPU, like all Rx7i CPUs, is installed on an Rx7i I/O rack and it comes with the VME64 base architecture that accommodates both new and old VME embedded technology with a fast throughput rating. The IC698CPE030 CPU comes with a 600 MegaHertz Pentium M processor and a battery-backed 64-Megabyte processor memory along with a battery-backed 64-Megabyte user flash memory for application and data storage. The IC698CPE030 processor can perform floating point Math and Boolean Logic functions, and advanced user parameters can be programmed using the Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, and C programming languages.

The GE Fanuc IC698CPE030 CPU supports the Series 90-70 discrete and analog I/O modules, communication modules, the Series 90-70 supported VME modules, and a wide range of programmers and HMI modules. The IC698CPE030 CPU has a voltage rating of +5, +12, or -12 Volt DC, and a backplane current rating of 3.4 Amps at 5 Volts DC. The IC698CPE030 CPU has an isolated RS-485 serial port, an RS-232 serial port, and a dedicated RS-232 Ethernet station manager port. The IC698CPE030 CPU also has dual embedded Ethernet (10/100 MB) ports that provide Ethernet Global Data (EGD) data exchange, TCP/IP high-speed data transmission, support for the Modbus/TCP Server, Modbus/TCP Client, and SRTP Channel protocols, and it can communicate with programmers and HMI devices. The IC698CPE030 CPU is configured with the Proficy Machine Edition (ME) Logic Developer configuration software version 4.5 or later which provides an advanced application programming environment, and it supports data monitoring over the web via Web servers and FTP connections.
