IC697CPU732 Central Processor Series 90-70 PLC System GE

Product Overview

The IC697CPU732 is a reliable central processing unit optimized for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 industrial control system. Powered by a 12 MHz 80C198 microprocessor, this single-slot CPU is engineered to handle complex logic and mathematical operations, including both fixed and floating-point instructions. With a boolean processing speed of 0.4 microseconds per instruction and the capacity to manage up to 8,000 analog I/O points, the IC697CPU732 is a versatile choice for mid-range automation tasks requiring precision and steady data throughput.

Technical Configuration

Engineering and Control Efficiency

This module is designed for streamlined operation and high security within industrial environments. It features a three-position front panel switch for RUN, STOP, and RESET functions, complemented by three onboard LEDs for immediate operational feedback. To prevent unauthorized access and protect critical logic, the module includes comprehensive password protection. Configuration is handled via the IC641 programming software, allowing for a simplified setup process without the need for hardware-level jumpers or physical DIP switches.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance Guide

The module installs into a single slot of the Series 90-70 PLC chassis and draws its required 1.0 Amp of power directly from the 5V DC backplane. At a weight of 0.80 kg, the unit is easily handled and replaced during standard maintenance cycles. To ensure memory retention during power outages, the unit utilizes an IC697ACC701 lithium battery; ensure this battery is replaced according to its one-year shelf life to prevent data loss. The operating environment should be maintained within 0°C to 60°C to ensure the 80C198 processor operates within its optimal thermal range.
