IC698CRE030
The IC698CRE030 module is a Control Memory Module manufactured by GE (General Electric) Automation & Controls, typically used within their PACSystems RX7i Series Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs).
Product Name
GE PACSystems RX7i IC698CRE030 Control Memory Module
Product Description
The GE PACSystems RX7i IC698CRE030 is a Control Memory Module (CMM) designed to operate with RX7i CPUs (Central Processing Units) within the GE PACSystems RX7i platform. The RX7i is a high-performance, rack-based Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) system known for its robust capabilities in complex, mission-critical industrial applications.
The IC698CRE030 module essentially provides the storage for the user logic program and configuration data for the RX7i CPU. It’s a critical component that determines the amount of application code and data the CPU can execute and manage. This module typically contains non-volatile memory, meaning it retains the program even when power is removed, ensuring the integrity of the control logic.
Key aspects of this module include:
- Program Storage: Houses the ladder logic, function block diagrams, structured text, and other programming elements that define the automation task.
- Configuration Data Storage: Stores the hardware configuration, I/O assignments, and system parameters.
- Non-Volatile Memory: Ensures that the control program persists through power cycles without needing battery backup for program retention.
- System Integrity: Plays a vital role in the overall integrity and reliability of the RX7i control system by securely storing the operational logic.
- High Performance: Designed to work seamlessly with the high-speed RX7i CPUs, enabling fast program execution and data access.
