4. Product Introduction (Anti-Template)
Operating as the backbone of the PACSystems RX7i platform, the IC698CPE020-CC delivers 700 MHz processing power with 10 MB of battery-backed user memory for complex control applications. Data written to its local memory stays protected during power loss, and the dual embedded Ethernet ports handle SRTP, Modbus TCP, and Ethernet Global Data without extra interface cards.
Unlike entry-level modules limited to slower processors, this CPU supports Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, and C. It talks directly to the VME64 backplane for high-speed I/O exchange and keeps deterministic scan times even when floating-point math is active. The -CC revision maintains full compatibility with existing RX7i racks while requiring the mandatory fan tray for thermal stability.

5. QC, Procurement & Logistics SOP
- Inbound Verification – Origin is traced through manufacturing records. Hardware revision (CC), battery compartment condition, and Ethernet MAC labels are photographed and logged before any testing begins.
- Live Rig Testing – Unit is installed in an RX7i main rack, powered with correct fan tray airflow, and subjected to power-on self-test, memory integrity checks, Ethernet link validation, and basic logic download/execution.
- QA & Anti-Static Packaging – After successful test, the module is cleaned, battery status verified, and sealed in anti-static shielding with desiccant and humidity indicator.
- Global Logistics & Export Compliance – Classified under the correct HS code for industrial control processors. Packaging is rated for air and sea freight vibration; export paperwork is prepared to reduce clearance delays at destination ports.

6. Technical Pitfalls & Integration Warnings
Firmware / Hardware Mismatch – Installing a -CC unit into a system that still runs very early primary firmware can produce unexpected Ethernet behavior or fail to recognize certain option modules. Always confirm the target system firmware level before swap-out.
Battery and Memory Loss – The lithium pack maintains user memory for roughly 40 days without power at room temperature. Leaving the CPU unpowered longer, or installing a depleted battery, forces a complete memory clear and requires full program reload.
Fan Tray Omission – Running the 700 MHz CPE020 without the required rack fan tray pushes internal temperatures past the 60 °C limit. Thermal shutdown or intermittent faults appear first as random scan overruns.
Backplane / Slot Errors – The CPU must occupy slot 1 of the main rack. Placing it elsewhere, or inserting it with power applied, risks backplane damage and forces a full system reboot.
7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the typical global lead time for a verified -CC revision?
Stock units normally leave the warehouse within 1–3 business days after payment. Air freight to most industrial regions adds 3–8 days once customs processing is complete.
Does this CPU support hot-standby redundancy?
No. Hot-standby operation requires the separate IC698CRE020 redundancy CPU. The CPE020 is a standard single-controller unit.
Can I run the module without a fan tray?
Official specifications require a fan tray for the CPE020. Operating without one voids thermal ratings and shortens service life.
What programming software and languages does it accept?
Machine Edition Logic Developer (version appropriate to the firmware) supports Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, and C. Up to 512 program blocks are allowed.
How long does the battery keep memory alive without power?
Approximately 40 days nominal at 20 °C. Actual life depends on temperature and battery condition; always check the battery LED after installation.
Is the dual Ethernet interface switchable or fixed?
Both ports are embedded and auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps. They support SRTP, Modbus TCP client/server, and Ethernet Global Data. Media redundancy is available via the second port when configured.
What happens if I insert or remove the CPU under power?
Never do it. Power must be removed first. Hot insertion can corrupt memory, damage the backplane, or force an uncontrolled CPU stop.
