The IC698CRE040 PASystems RX7i is a CPU programmed and configured to perb control in real time of machines, processes, and material handling sytems. I/O communication and smart option module communication occurs over a rack-mounted backplane via VME64 Standard bat. An bded Ethernet port (or serial port) allows the CPU to communicate with the programmer and HMI devices.

This CPU is equipped with an 1800MHz Pentium-M microprocessor, 64 MB of battery-packed user memory, and 64 MB of non-volatile user flash for various types of user memory. It also comes with hot standby (HSB) redundancy. It is important to note that the latter requires a Redundancy CPU and Redundancy Memory Xchange module (IC698RMX016) configured as a redundancy b in each unit. The unit is also bulk memory accessible by way of reference table %W.

The IC698CRE040 supports discrete and analog I/O for Series 90-70 as well as communications and other modules, including VME. Note: A full list is available in the unit’s Installation Manual. 

Web data monitoring is possible with a combined total of 16 web server and FTP connections. The unit offers bit-in-word referencing and a calendar clock, which is battery-backed. Firmware upgrades for the CPU/module can be initiated using either the RS-232 or RS-485 serial ports. The RS-232 Ethernet port is for station management.

Additionally, the IC698CRE040 is equipped with an bded Ethernet interface, which provides support for SRTP Channels, Modbus/TCP Server, and Modbus/TCP Client. Two full duplex ports provide auto-negotiated network speed and crossover detection. The user-configurable Redundant IP allows EGD configuration exchange production.

The CPU’s power requirements are +5 VDC: 6.8 Amps nominal / +12 VDC: 0.003 Amps nominal / -12 VDC: 0.003 Amps nominal.
