Features:
- Runs control logic on a 600 MHz Pentium-M processor within PACSystems RX7i racks.
- Uses 64 MB of ECC-protected user memory for application logic and retained process data.
- Supports synchronized hot-standby roles for high-availability controller architectures.
The current configuration is IC698CRE030, a PACSystems RX7i redundancy CPU with embedded Ethernet and serial communication services.
In its intended system role, one controller operates actively while the matched standby unit receives designated application state for controlled takeover.
Before commissioning, confirm both CPU revisions, firmware levels, rack hardware, transfer definitions, network addresses, and redundancy diagnostics.
Availability is subject to Apter Power inventory and sourcing confirmation.

- Provides primary-and-standby control for continuous processes where controller availability is a central operating requirement.
- Supports installed RX7i automation in material handling, utilities, packaging, and other coordinated machine systems.
- Enables engineered maintenance of legacy VME64 rack installations when project, I/O, and redundancy compatibility are retained.
- Installs in the PACSystems RX7i VME64 rack architecture with compatible power, backplane, and communications hardware.
- Requires the same CPU model and compatible firmware on both sides of a normal hot-standby controller pair.
- Uses PAC Machine Edition projects whose memory map, Ethernet settings, serial services, and redundancy configuration must match the installed system.
- Controller LEDs and PACSystems fault tables identify rack, communications, application, and startup conditions that require investigation.
- ECC monitoring detects memory errors that could affect retained application data or synchronized redundancy operation.
- Standby-ready, synchronization, and role information helps isolate configuration or transfer faults before a controlled switchover test.
- Tracks active and standby roles together with synchronization state during normal hot-standby operation.
- Makes controller status and fault information available to PAC Machine Edition through the configured service connections.
- Supports post-maintenance checks of role transfer, application continuity, and Ethernet or serial communications before release to production.
