GE FANUC IC697CPM915 , 32 MHz, 32-Bit , Floating Point Central Processing Unit

Product Description

---

The GE Fanuc IC697CPM924 is a CPU module with a single slot that allows calculations involving floating point values. The configuration and programming of the module are done using Windows or MS-DOS programming software. This module performs the function of controlling material handling devices, processes, and machines. The rack-mounted backplane facilitates the communication between the option modules and the I/O modules. The input current required by this module is 3.3 A from the 5 V bus.

IC697CPM924 requires an ambient temperature of more than 40 °C and also requires air cooling for regular operation. This module has four green LEDs to show the module’s status. A software password or keyswitch can be used to secure the configuration as well as program data.

IC697CPM924 comes with 1 MB of memory for data as well as program storage. This module also has a flash memory, which allows the user to update firmware without removing the memory device such as EPROM. The lithium battery used in this module retains memory even after removing the power.

Operation of module IC697CPM924 may be controlled by the three position RUN/STOP switch or remotely by an attached programmer and programming software. Program and configuration data can be locked through software passwords or manually by the memory protect keyswitch. When the key is in the protected position, program and configuration data can only be changed by a programmer connected parallel using the Bus Transmitter module). CPU status is indicated by four green LEDs on the front of the module.

 

About IC697CPM924

The IC697CPM924 module is a GE Fanuc CPU module which is compatible with the GE Series 90-70 programmable logic controller systems. The IC697CPM924 module is a 32-bit CPU with a microprocessor clocked at 64 megahertz. In addition to fixed point operation, the CPU also supports floating point operation. A total of 1 megabyte of RAM is available on the CPU module. A replaceable lithium battery provides backup power to the RAM in case of mains power failure. The rated shelf life of the lithium battery is 10 years at 68 degrees Fahrenheit ambient temperature. In the event that the PLC rack power is removed, the battery can provide backup power to the RAM so that the stored application data is retained for a nominal period of 6 months. The old battery needs to be removed before a new battery can be installed.

 

The operating temperature range for the IC697CPM924 CPU module is from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. If the ambient temperature exceeds this range, then the performance may be degraded and extreme high temperatures can even lead to module failure. The accuracy of the time-of-day clock on the IC697CPM924 module is 3.5 seconds per day maximum. The elapsed time clock accuracy is 0.1% maximum. The IC697CPM924 module supports software configuration with an integrated serial port, a parallel port on the bus transmitter PLC module, and an optional Ethernet module that can be used to connect to computers that are running the configuration software. The operation of the IC697CPM924 module is controlled by a 3-position RUN/STOP switch or remotely from programming computers. Power should be removed from the PLC rack prior to the installation of the module.
