Product Role & System Fit
The GE IC698CPE020-KA is a central processing module — the CPU heart of the PACSystems RX7i programmable automation controller (PAC) series. Rather than simply acting as an I/O module, this CPU executes the user-defined logic that drives machines, processes, and controls across industrial environments. Mounted in Slot 1 of an RX7i backplane, it connects directly to the VME64 rack architecture, enabling communication with other modules and field-level I/O over high-speed internal buses.
Equipped with a 700 MHz Pentium III processor, the IC698CPE020-KA delivers robust computing performance for demanding control tasks. The module’s architecture supports complex logic, floating-point calculations, and multiple communication protocols, making it suitable for applications ranging from discrete assembly line control to process plant regulation. In many industrial systems, this CPU is the primary controller, responsible for integrating sensor feedback, managing actuators, and communicating with supervisory systems like SCADA or MES.
Unlike simple microcontroller-based PLC processors, the GE IC698CPE020-KA combines processing speed with multi-protocol connectivity, allowing engineers to build distributed control systems that connect to Ethernet, serial networks, and higher-level information systems. It is fully compatible with industry-standard PLC programming environments, enabling use of Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, or even C for advanced logic development.
