Part Number: IC698CRE030

The IC698CRE030 is a PACSystems RX7i Central Processing Unit (CPU) designed for real-time control of machinery, processes, and systems. It is configurable and programmable via dedicated software, and communicates with I/O modules through a rack-mounted backplane adhering to the VME64 Standard format. This model features a 600MHz Pentium-M microprocessor, complemented by 64 MB of user memory and 64 MB of non-volatile flash memory for storing programs, configurations, register data, and symbolic variables. A notable aspect of the IC698CRE030 is its support for hot standby redundancy (HSB), ensuring high availability and reliability. The CPU also includes an embedded Ethernet port for interfacing with programming and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) devices, as well as serial ports for extended connectivity options.

The unit supports multiple programming languages, including Ladder Diagram, C, Structured Text, and Function Block Diagram, with the advantage of auto-located symbolic variables that exploit unlimited memory. Enhanced data monitoring capabilities are available through web communication, supporting a maximum of 16 connections and enabling features such as EGD data exchange and TCP/IP communication services. A redundant IP can also be user-configured to facilitate EGD exchanges. The IC698CRE030 supports various discrete and analog I/O modules from the 90-70 Series, alongside VME modules, ensuring expansive integration possibilities.

The power requirements are specified at +5 VDC with a nominal current of 3.2 Amps, and +12 VDC and -12 VDC at 0.003 Amps each. The unit is equipped with three isolated serial ports and supports multiple serial protocols including Modbus RTU Slave, SNP, and Serial I/O. Additional features include a battery-backed calendar clock, word referencing, firmware upgrades via serial port, and diagnostic tools for station management. This CPU presents a robust solution for sophisticated industrial automation applications.
