Product Role & System Fit
In high-availability industrial environments — such as power generation, petrochemical processing, and continuous manufacturing — controller reliability is not negotiable. The IC698CRE030-DE from GE integrates into the PACSystems RX7i rack architecture as a redundant central processing module, providing the computational and communication backbone for distributed control systems. Designed for PLC and PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) roles, this CPU module ensures real-time execution of control logic while maintaining continuity of operation even under hardware fault conditions by supporting hot standby redundancy configurations.
Unlike conventional single CPU modules that may cause a full system halt upon failure, the IC698CRE030-DE allows a paired CPU to take over with minimal interruption, preserving critical process continuity. The unit installs in a dedicated RX7i communication slot adjacent to or associated with primary CPU positions. In redundant system topologies, this module synchronizes state and I/O data across CPUs to ensure seamless transitions on fault detection.
Architecturally, the IC698CRE030-DE is part of GE’s RX7i PACSystems family — an evolution of the legacy Series 90-70 and PACSystems platforms — intended for medium to large scale automation tasks where deterministic timing and high-speed communication matter. The module combines processor capability with industrial networking features, enabling control systems to interact with remote I/O, SCADA and HMI interfaces, and enterprise systems. Robustness in these systems translates directly into uptime and throughput gains for mission-critical facilities.
Compatible with modern industrial network standards, the IC698CRE030-DE supports both EtherNet/IP and Profinet IRT protocols, which broadens interoperability with multi-vendor devices on the plant floor. This makes it an ideal choice for integrators tasked with converging field devices, operator displays, and back-office analytics without compromising alignment to IT architectures.
