GE Fanuc IC698CRE040-HN CPU Module with Ethernet and High-Speed Counter

In stock

Product Overview:
The GE Fanuc IC698CRE040-HN is a high-performance CPU module for the Series 90-70 PLC platform. This processor integrates a built-in 10/100Base-TX Ethernet port and high-speed counter inputs directly on the CPU board, eliminating the need for separate communication or counting modules in many applications. The “HN” suffix denotes the High-speed Network capable variant. It serves as the brain of the PLC system, executing ladder logic, function block diagrams, and structured text while managing all I/O and communication tasks in real time.
