Description
IC698CPE020 Product Specification
The
IC698CPE020 is a high-performance programmable logic controller (PLC) processor module by
GE Fanuc, designed for industrial automation systems. As part of the PACSystems RX7i series, the
IC698CPE020 integrates a 700 MHz Pentium III processor, 10 MB RAM, and 10 MB flash memory for real-time control of machines, processes, and data-intensive applications. With dual Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) and three serial ports (RS-232/485), it enables seamless connectivity to HMIs, I/O modules, and industrial networks (Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP). The module supports ladder logic, C, structured text, and function block programming, making it suitable for complex automation tasks in harsh environments. Its VME64-compliant architecture ensures scalability with GE Fanuc’s RX7i I/O modules, while built-in security features protect against cyber threats.

IC698CPE020
- High Performance: 700 MHz processor with floating-point support for complex calculations (e.g., PID control, motion planning).
- Flexible Connectivity: Dual Ethernet and serial ports enable multi-network integration (e.g., cloud, SCADA).
- Rugged Design: Shock/vibration resistance (30G shock, 5G vibration) and wide temperature range for harsh environments.
- Scalability: VME64 backplane compatibility for up to 512 program blocks (128 KB/block) and modular I/O expansion.
- Energy Efficiency: Low power consumption (≤5 V DC @ 4.5 A) with sleep mode for reduced idle power.
Industries:
- Manufacturing (robotics, assembly lines)
- Energy (power plants, renewable energy)
- Water/wastewater treatment
- Oil and gas (pipeline monitoring)
Case Study:
A U.S. wastewater treatment plant deployed the IC698CPE020 to manage 200+ pumps and sensors. Its real-time data processing and Modbus RTU connectivity reduced downtime by 20% and optimized energy usage by 15%, aligning with EPA compliance goals.
Compared to similar PLC processors:
- Faster Communication: 100 Mbps Ethernet (2x faster than legacy models) for high-speed data logging.
- Native Software Support: 无缝集成 GE Proficy Machine Edition, eliminating third-party adapter costs.
- Memory Flexibility: Configurable RAM/data blocks (up to 10 MB) vs. fixed memory in 竞品,enabling tailored applications.

IC698CPE020
- Performance Needs: Choose for mid-to-high complexity (500–2,000 I/O points); opt for lower models (e.g., IC698CPE010) for simple tasks.
- Connectivity: Prioritize dual Ethernet ports for redundant networks (e.g., critical infrastructure).
- Environment: Verify temperature/humidity ranges (e.g., 0°C–60°C for indoor; -40°C–70°C with optional cooling).
- Budget: Balance processing power with scalability—IC698CPE020 offers 30% better price-to-performance than premium 多核 CPUs for most industrial needs.
- ESD Protection: Use anti-static gear during installation; avoid direct contact with circuit boards.
- Power Stability: Ensure ±10% voltage tolerance; use a UPS for unstable grids to prevent data loss.
- Firmware Management: Update firmware quarterly via Proficy to patch security vulnerabilities (e.g., CVE-2023-XXXX).
- Cooling: Install fan trays for sustained 700 MHz operation in high-temperature environments (>40°C).
