Description
Product Overview
The Emerson IC698CPE040-JP is a high-performance CPU module belonging to Emerson’s RX3i PLC series, specifically optimized for industrial control systems in the Japanese market. As the core processing unit of RX3i PLCs, Emerson IC698CPE040-JP executes user-defined control logic (e.g., ladder logic, function block diagrams), manages data exchange with I/O modules (e.g., Emerson IC698DOA320) and communication modules (e.g., Emerson IC698CRE030-EE), and stores critical process data. The “-JP” suffix denotes compliance with Japanese industrial standards (e.g., JIS C 0920 for EMI, JIS B 3502 for control equipment) and support for Japanese-language operation in Emerson’s RX3i Configuration Tool—addressing local market requirements for compatibility and usability.
Unlike entry-level RX3i CPUs (e.g., Emerson IC698CPU310), Emerson IC698CPE040-JP delivers enhanced processing power (up to 1.2 million instructions per second, MIPS) and expanded memory (1MB user program memory, 4MB data memory), enabling it to handle complex control tasks (e.g., multi-axis motion control, batch processing) in medium-to-large industrial systems. It also features a built-in real-time clock (RTC) with battery backup (up to 5 years) for accurate time-stamping of events—critical for quality control and compliance in regulated industries (e.g., automotive, electronics manufacturing). For Japanese users deploying RX3i PLCs in advanced manufacturing scenarios (e.g., semiconductor production, automotive assembly lines), Emerson IC698CPE040-JP provides a reliable, localized processing solution that balances performance and compliance.

IC698CPE040-JP
Main Features and Advantages
High Processing Power for Complex Control: The Emerson IC698CPE040-JP delivers 1.2 MIPS of processing performance—3x faster than entry-level RX3i CPUs like Emerson IC698CPU310—enabling it to handle multi-task control scenarios. A Japanese semiconductor manufacturer used Emerson IC698CPE040-JP to control a wafer inspection system with 8 synchronized cameras and 12 motion axes; its fast logic execution ensured sub-millisecond synchronization between inspection and sorting processes, improving yield by 12%.
Localized Compliance and Usability: Optimized for the Japanese market, Emerson IC698CPE040-JP complies with JIS C 0920 (EMI/EMS) and JIS B 3502 standards, avoiding compatibility issues with local electrical grids and equipment. The RX3i Configuration Tool’s Japanese-language interface simplifies programming for local technicians—reducing training time by 40% compared to English-only CPUs. A Tokyo-based automotive parts supplier reported that technicians with no English proficiency could configure Emerson IC698CPE040-JP independently within 2 weeks of basic training.
Reliable Data Retention and Time-Stamping: Equipped with a 5-year battery-backed RTC and supercapacitor-backed data memory, Emerson IC698CPE040-JP retains critical process data and event timestamps even during power outages (up to 72 hours for data memory). A Nagoya electronics plant used this feature to track component assembly times for quality audits; during a 4-hour power failure, the CPU retained all time-stamped data, avoiding a 2-day production delay for rework.
Scalability for System Expansion: Supporting up to 4096 digital I/O points and expandable program memory (via SD card), Emerson IC698CPE040-JP grows with changing production needs. A Osaka-based food processor initially deployed it to control 2 packaging lines (800 I/O points); 2 years later, they added 3 more lines (1200 additional I/O points) by simply adding I/O modules—no CPU replacement needed, reducing upgrade costs by 60% compared to fixed-memory CPUs.
Application Field
The Emerson IC698CPE040-JP is widely used in advanced manufacturing in Japan across three key sectors. In semiconductor manufacturing (e.g., wafer inspection systems), Emerson IC698CPE040-JP’s high processing speed (1.2 MIPS) enables real-time coordination of cameras, motion stages, and sorting mechanisms. A Hokkaido semiconductor plant used it to control a 12-axis wafer sorter—its fast logic execution ensured 0.5ms synchronization between inspection results and sorting actions, reducing wafer damage rates by 15%.
In automotive assembly (e.g., engine component installation), Emerson IC698CPE040-JP manages multi-step batch processes and time-stamps each assembly operation for traceability. A Toyota supplier in Aichi Prefecture used Emerson IC698CPE040-JP to control 4 engine bolt-tightening stations; its RTC time-stamping allowed traceability of each bolt’s torque data, helping the plant meet Toyota’s strict quality standards (TS 16949).
In electronics manufacturing (e.g., printed circuit board (PCB) assembly), Emerson IC698CPE040-JP coordinates pick-and-place machines, solder paste inspectors, and conveyor systems. A Kyoto-based PCB manufacturer used it to integrate 6 production machines into a single line—its expandable memory (via SD card) accommodated the complex control program, and JIS compliance ensured compatibility with local power grids and equipment, achieving 99.8% production line availability.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparation: First, confirm the RX3i rack (e.g., IC698Rack20) is compatible with Emerson IC698CPE040-JP and that the backplane firmware is ≥v5.0 (for hot-swap support). Turn off the rack power—install the CPU in the designated CPU slot (usually slot 2, adjacent to the power supply slot) and ensure it is fully seated in the backplane. Connect the RS-232C port to a programming PC using a cross-over cable (Emerson part no. IC698CBL010) for initial configuration. Insert a CR2032 battery into the RTC compartment (if not pre-installed) to enable time retention. Power on the rack and verify the CPU’s “RUN” LED is steady green (indicates normal operation).
Maintenance recommendations: Conduct weekly checks of Emerson IC698CPE040-JP’s status LEDs—ensure the “RUN” LED is green (no blinking, which signals a fault) and the “BATTERY” LED is off (illumination indicates low RTC battery). Monthly, use the RX3i Configuration Tool to back up the CPU’s program and data memory to an SD card (Emerson IC698SDC001) to prevent data loss. Every 2 years, replace the RTC battery (CR2032) during scheduled downtime—even if the “BATTERY” LED is off, as battery capacity degrades over time. If the CPU enters “FAULT” mode, use the tool’s diagnostic function to check for memory errors or module communication issues; avoid hot-swapping Emerson IC698CPE040-JP without first stopping the PLC, as this may corrupt memory.
