Product Role & System Fit

At its core, GE IC698CPE030-DD is a central processing unit for the PACSystems RX7i platform. It serves as the logical and computational heart of the automation system, executing control programs, managing data exchange, and coordinating all connected modules. In a typical rack configuration, this CPU occupies a dedicated slot and interfaces directly with power supplies, discrete and analog I/O, and multiple communication cards.

One of its defining characteristics is compatibility. Engineers familiar with GE Fanuc systems value how seamlessly this CPU fits into existing RX7i architectures. It supports the same rack-based modular design, allowing systems to scale without architectural redesign. From a system integrator’s perspective, that consistency simplifies both initial engineering and future expansion.

The processor is programmed using GE’s Proficy Machine Edition software, which supports structured text, ladder logic, and function block programming. This flexibility makes GE IC698CPE030-DD suitable for multidisciplinary teams, where different engineers prefer different programming styles. In distributed systems, the CPU often acts as a master controller, exchanging data with remote I/O and third-party devices via Ethernet and serial interfaces.

In real-world installations, this unit frequently replaces older CPUs during phased upgrades. Engineers can migrate programs with minimal modification, which reduces commissioning risk. That system-level compatibility is one of the strongest reasons the RX7i family remains entrenched in heavy industry.
