GE IC698RMX016-ED Industrial Control Module

The GE IC698RMX016-ED control module delivers reliable performance for industrial applications demanding precise power regulation and signal processing. Commonly used in automation systems across manufacturing, energy, and process industries, this module ensures stable operation even under fluctuating electrical conditions.

Engineers frequently deploy this module in applications like motor control centers, PLC expansions, and distributed I/O systems. We commonly handle related GE models including the IC698CPE010 processor, VMIVME-7807 VME interface card, and IS230SRTDH2A communication module. Its rugged construction suits environments with vibration, temperature extremes, and electrical noise – think steel mills, offshore platforms, and chemical plants.

One standout feature is the galvanically isolated RS-485 interface which maintains communication integrity in electrically noisy environments. Unlike basic modules, this one incorporates thermal shutdown protection and reverse voltage safeguards – I’ve personally seen these features prevent costly downtime during field wiring errors. The modular DIN rail design allows hot-swapping without tools, while its compatibility with GE’s RX3i and VME control systems ensures seamless integration into both legacy and modern setups. For critical applications, multiple modules can operate in redundant configurations to maintain control during single-point failures.
