Procurement Guidance

1. Compatibility Notes
   • Valid for RX7i/RX3i PACSystems; firmware suffixes (e.g., -FJ) denote specific variants .
   • Backward-compatible with legacy GE PLCs (e.g., Series 90-70) .
2. Critical Accessories
   • IC698ACC701 Lithium Battery: Mandatory for RAM backup .
   • VME I/O Modules: e.g., DS200 series for signal distribution .
3. Avoid Mismatched Claims
   • "512 MB RAM" → Refers to GE IC698CPE030 model .
   • "3AC 400V Input" → Applies to power modules, not CPU logic .
4. Warranty & Authenticity
   • 12-month warranty for factory-sealed units; verify holographic seals .
   • Cross-check part number 3BHE030579R0003 for industrial-grade variants .
