IC698CRE020
GE
Overview
The IC698CRE020 is a CPU from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.
Application & Technical Notes
As a cpu, the IC698CRE020 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It hosts the application program, executes the control cycle and orchestrates I/O scanning, communication and diagnostics for the station.
Key published characteristics include an operating temperature range of 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Respect the published operating temperature window (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. Back up the application program and parameter set before any firmware or hardware change; verify the memory/real-time-clock battery where fitted and replace on schedule. Monitor the module health LED and controller diagnostics; plan spares for critical stations to minimise downtime. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the IC698CRE020, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm the CPU matches your GE product portfolio architecture, memory size, firmware revision and any required option/communication modules. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.
