Description

Product Overview

The ​GE IC698CPE030-GL is a high-performance ​Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) from GE’s RX3i series, engineered for mission-critical industrial automation in demanding environments. This controller combines a 1.2 GHz Intel® Core™ i processor with triple modular redundancy logic, delivering deterministic real-time control for complex processes. The ​GE IC698CPE030-GL supports up to 512 I/O modules across a high-speed PCI-Express backplane (100 Mbps bandwidth), enabling seamless integration of analog, digital, and safety I/O in a unified platform. With dual embedded Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting ​SRTP, ​Modbus TCP, and ​Profinet protocols, it facilitates real-time data exchange with SCADA systems. Its industrial-hardened design (-20°C to 70°C operation) includes MIL-STD-810G shock/vibration certification, making the ​IC698CPE030-GL ideal for energy, water/wastewater, and heavy industrial applications requiring fail-safe operation and extended lifecycle support.

Key Features and Advantages:

Deterministic Performance:
Hypervisor virtualization partitions control tasks (1 ms cycle time) and IT operations. Redundancy synchronization completes in <10 ms via dedicated ​RXM modules.

Cybersecurity Hardening:
TLS 1.3 encryption, MAC address filtering, and role-based access control comply with NERC CIP and IEC 62443. Hardware firewall blocks unauthorized traffic.

Engineering Efficiency:
Unified programming with ​Proficy Machine Edition™ supports ladder logic, structured text, and C/C++. Auto-discovery of ​Series 90-70 legacy I/O reduces migration costs.

Resilient Operations:
Built-in SD card slot for disaster recovery. Hot-swappable memory retains critical data during power outages. Conformal coating (MIL-I-46058C) protects against humidity.

Application Domains

The ​IC698CPE030-GL excels in critical infrastructure:

  • ​Power Generation: Turbine governing systems with SIL 3 trip logic
  • ​Water Treatment: Plant-wide SCADA networks managing 10,000+ I/O tags
  • ​Oil & Gas: Compressor station control with custody transfer metering
  • ​Discrete Manufacturing: High-speed assembly lines using Profinet IRT
  • ​Transportation: Tunnel ventilation control with ATEX compliance
  • ​Mining: Conveyor/belt drives in dust-laden environments
