GE IC698CPE020

Feimu Technology has over twenty years of experience as a supplier, and all the products it supplies are highly guaranteed. GE IC698CPE020 is the central processing unit (CPU) module of the GE Fanuc (now Emerson Automation) PACSystems RX7i series programmable automation controller (PAC), used to execute user control programs, handle real-time control tasks, and exchange data with I/O modules and communication modules through the RX7i VME backplane.

Product Parameter

Application scenario

The GE IC698CPE020 is mainly applied in large-scale industrial automation control systems, and is widely used in fields such as automotive manufacturing, mechanical processing, packaging production lines, energy management, power systems, water treatment, petrochemicals, process control, metallurgical production, and large factory SCADA monitoring systems. With a high-speed Pentium III processor, rich Ethernet communication functions, and support for multiple industrial protocols,it can achieve complex logic control, equipment linkage control, real-time data collection, remote I/O management, and human-machine interface (HMI) data interaction, making it suitable for large-scale automated production equipment and process control projects that require continuous operation and high reliability.

Installation and Configuration Guide

Proper installation and configuration ensure the reliable operation of the IC698CPE020 within the RX7i system.

Hardware Installation Steps:

Turn off power to the RX7i rack before inserting or removing the module.

Insert the IC698CPE020 into the CPU slot of the RX7i main rack.

Push the module firmly until it is fully seated.

Secure the module using the top and bottom mounting screws.

Connect the Ethernet cable to the built-in Ethernet port.

Apply power to the rack. The CPU status indicators will show the startup process.

Software Configuration Steps:

Open the Proficy Machine Edition (PME) software.

Create a new project and select the IC698CPE020 as the target CPU.

Configure the hardware rack.

Write the control program using Ladder Logic, Structured Text, or Function Block Diagrams.

Set IP addresses for both Ethernet ports.

Download the configuration and program to the CPU.

Switch the CPU to RUN mode and verify operation.

Common Installation Errors:

Incorrect Slot: The CPU must be installed in the designated CPU slot.

Missing Fan Tray: The RX7i system requires a fan tray for cooling.

Incorrect Firmware Version: Ensure the CPU firmware version is compatible with the PME software version.

Product Authenticity Verification

The GE IC698CPE020 module is frequently counterfeited. Use the following checks to verify authenticity.

Faceplate Color: Genuine units use the light gray color consistent with the PACSystems RX7i series. Counterfeits often have different shades or glossy finishes.

Label Quality: Genuine labels feature permanent printing with the model number IC698CPE020 clearly visible. Counterfeit labels often have blurry text or peeling edges.

Ethernet Port Quality: Genuine Ethernet ports feature metal shielding. Counterfeits often use plastic or unshielded ports.

VME Connector: All pins must be gold-plated and straight. Counterfeits often use tin-plated pins or have bent pins.

Module Weight: A genuine IC698CPE020 weighs approximately 0.5 kg. Counterfeits often feel lighter.

GE Logo: Genuine units feature a clear GE Fanuc logo. Counterfeit products often lack markings or feature poorly printed labels.

Testing Process

Feimu Technology does not ship untested modules. Each IC698CPE020 unit undergoes the following verification process before leaving the warehouse:

Visual Inspection: Verify correct faceplate color and clear labeling. Inspect VME connectors for bent pins and check Ethernet ports for damage.

Power-up Test: Install the module in an RX7i test rack and apply power. Confirm the PWR LED illuminates.

Memory Test: Download a standard test program to the CPU and verify error-free execution.

Ethernet Test: Test both Ethernet ports, verify IP address configuration, and confirm communication with PME.

Serial Port Test: Test serial ports using a loopback connector and confirm communication.

Battery Test: Measure battery voltage and confirm it exceeds 3.0V.

24-Hour Burn-in Test: Run the CPU continuously with the test program while monitoring temperature.

Packaging: Place the module in an anti-static bag and seal it in a carton with foam lining. Affix a label indicating the module number and test date.

FAQ

Q1: What are the main faults?

A: Common problems of the GE IC698CPE020 include loss of RAM data due to battery failure, abnormal Flash firmware, failure of Ethernet communication, errors in backplane communication, and mismatch between hardware configuration and actual modules. During maintenance, it is recommended to check the CPU status indicator lights, diagnostic logs, and PME fault tables.

Q2: Which programming languages are supported?

A: Support for ladder diagrams (Ladder Diagram), structured text (Structured Text), function block diagrams (Function Block Diagram), and C language.

Q3: Does it have an Ethernet interface?

A: Yes. This CPU has built-in dual Ethernet interfaces, which can be used for program downloading, device communication, and industrial network data exchange. It supports protocols such as SRTP, EGD, and Modbus TCP.
