GE Fanuc IC698 Series 90-70 Technical Notes

The Evolution of IC698 Architecture

The IC698 series progressed through three identifiable hardware generations. The first generation (circa 1988–1995) established the 9-slot and 17-slot VME-compatible rack form factor, single-bus backplane at 5 V/12 V, and the original CPE010/CPE020 processor family running at clock speeds below 20 MHz with battery-backed SRAM program storage. Firmware was stored on socketed EPROM, and inter-module communication relied on the proprietary GE Genius bus at 153.6 kbps.

Q: How are RFQ terms confirmed?
A: Quantity, required condition, documentation needs, destination and sourcing route are confirmed during RFQ review before quotation.

Quality Control for the IC698 Range

The IC698 backplane uses a dual-bus VME architecture with active termination. Modules removed from service frequently exhibit degraded bus termination resistors, failed tantalum capacitors on the 5 V rail, and SRAM data retention failures due to depleted backup batteries. DriveKNMS applies a structured test protocol to all IC698 units prior to shipment.

CPU modules (CPE series) undergo: (1) full rack power-on with known-good backplane and power supply; (2) firmware version verification against GE Fanuc release notes; (3) Proficy Machine Edition connectivity test via SNP and Ethernet; (4) 72-hour burn-in at 45°C ambient; (5) Genius bus master functional test with a minimum 4-node Genius drop configuration. Analog modules (ALG series) are tested against NIST-traceable calibration references at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of rated input/output range, with linearity error recorded and compared to OEM specification (typically ±0.1% full scale). Communication modules (CMM, ETM) are tested for protocol handshake integrity, frame error rate at maximum baud, and isolation resistance between communication ports and chassis ground (>100 MΩ at 500 VDC).

Q: How is condition confirmed before quotation?
A: Available condition, photos, test records and documentation are checked according to the requested model and sourcing channel before a formal RFQ response.
