Product Introduction
GE IC698CPE020-GP is a rack-mounted CPU for PACSystems RX7i controllers, processing ladder logic and function block programs for real-time machine control. Runs in slot 1 of RX7i VME racks with Series 90-70 I/O compatibility.
700 MHz Pentium III handles 32K discrete/analog points with dual Ethernet for EGD/SRTP/Modbus TCP. -GP firmware enables web data monitoring via 16 concurrent connections. Field swaps upgrade scan times—needs fan tray and high-current PSU. Verify Proficy Machine Edition v4.0+ for config.
Troubleshooting Quick Reference
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Relevance to this Part | Quick Check Method | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No CPU RUN LED, fan spins | Backplane 5 V sag below 4.75 V | ✅ High | Clamp meter on slot 1 pins: 4.5 A steady load | Upgrade PSU to 10 A rating; stagger module power-up |
| Ethernet no link, solid amber | Duplex/speed mismatch or bad cable | ✅ High | Both RJ-45 lights: green 100/link, amber activity | Cat5e straight <100 m; force 100/full in Proficy Ethernet config |
| Program store fails post-power loss | Battery pack dead or loose | ✅ Medium | %SA underrun bits set; 3 VDC on battery pins | Install IC698ACC020 external pack; cycle in STOP mode |
| Scan time jumps 2x normal | Firmware -GP load from web monitor | ✅ Low | Proficy task monitor: web threads >8 active | Limit connections to 10; close FTP sessions after use |
| Serial SNP no response | RS-485 termination missing | ❌ Low | 120 Ω across A/B pins; baud 19200 8N1 | Add 120 Ω resistor at ends; null modem for PC |
Capture fault table (%SA0001+) and MAC screenshot before reset. Power issues kill 85% of RX7i CPUs—PSU first. Support needs logs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Fan tray required for this CPU?
Yes, 60°C max needs forced air direct on heatsink. No fan trips thermal at 2 hours full load. Mounts rack rear.
-GP firmware—what’s new?
Adds web server/FTP for 16 live data views over base CPE020. Ethernet Global Data syncs drops real-time. Read sticker vs Proficy.
Max rack configuration?
VME64 backplane supports 20+ slots with 90-70 modules. 32K I/O tabs out at 512 blocks—split logic if bigger.
Programming software version?
Proficy Machine Edition 4.0+ required. Earlier chokes on 10 MB flash upload. SNP serial fallback works.
❗ Fatal install mistake?
❗ Slot 1 only—jam in slot 2 bricks handshake. Backplane won’t power modules. Labeled my racks after first go-round.
Condition and bench test?
New Surplus: OEM overrun, full program load test at 0.14 ms Boolean. Ethernet pinged host; serial SNP verified. Pics available.
Warranty, dispatch?
1-year DOA coverage. In stock, ships after 24-hour burn-in cycle. Same-day if ordered early.
