GE IC698CPE040-JP

Product Overview: The GE IC698CPE040-JP is a high-performance Central Processing Unit (CPU) in the PACSystems RX7i family (now under Emerson Automation). It is based on a 1.8 GHz Pentium M processor with 64 MB of user memory and 64 MB of non-volatile flash, designed for real-time control of machines, processes, and material handling systems. The “-JP” suffix typically denotes a Japan-specific or regional variant configuration. The CPU provides embedded serial and Ethernet ports for flexible connectivity and runs on a VME64-format backplane for fast I/O and module communication.

Description

GE IC698CPE040-JP

Technical Specifications:

Processor: 1.8 GHz Intel Pentium M
User Memory: 64 MB RAM (battery-backed); 64 MB Flash for programs and configuration
Scan Rate: Approximately 0.024 ms per 1,000 Boolean contacts/coils
Embedded Serial Ports: Three independent, isolated ports (COM1/COM2 for RS-232/RS-485; Station Manager port for RS-232)
Ethernet: Two embedded 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports
Backplane: VME64 standard; supports RX7i I/O and option modules
Power Requirements: 5 VDC backplane supply; battery pack IC698ACC701 maintains memory and RTC
Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 60 °C
Relative Humidity: 5–95% non-condensing

Functional Features:

Auto-locate symbol variables for efficient use of user memory
Test Edit Mode allows online testing and changes without stopping the program
VME64 backplane support for high-speed communication with I/O and intelligent option modules
Firmware upgradeable via CPU serial ports using WinLoader
Comprehensive diagnostics and status LEDs for quick troubleshooting
Bit/Word referencing and robust instruction set for complex control logic

Application Scenarios:

Large-scale machine control and assembly lines
Process control in industries such as automotive, food and beverage, and energy
Material handling systems and robotics coordination
Plants requiring high-speed logic execution and extensive I/O connectivity

Performance Parameters:

Supports up to 32 KB of discrete I/O (%I/%Q) and analog I/O (%AI/%AQ)
Boolean execution time measured per 1,000 instructions ensures rapid response
Large program and data storage capacity for complex applications

Material and Structural Characteristics:

Industrial-grade printed circuit board with conformal coating options available (varies by suffix)
Standard RX7i single-slot or double-slot module form factor
Front panel features LEDs, serial connectors, and Ethernet RJ45 ports

Working Principle: The CPU executes user control logic (written in IEC 61131-3 languages) stored in flash memory, reads inputs from I/O modules via the VME64 backplane, processes data, and writes outputs to control field devices. Embedded Ethernet and serial ports handle communication with HMIs, SCADA, and other devices. Installation Requirements:
