GE FANUC IC697CPX928 , Programmable Logic Controller manufactured

Product Description

---

The IC697CPX928 is a Programmable Logic Controller manufactured by GE Automation and Controls. It is designed to fit into a single rack slot and comes with three built-in serial ports. A backplane mounted on the rack allows this device to communicate with several different modules. A run/stop control switch with three positions or specific software running from an attached computer is used to control the IC697CPX928. Seven on-board LED lights display operational status.

 

Features of this device include a 96MHz 80486DX4 microprocessor, floating point calculations, processor speeds of 0.4 microseconds for each Boolean function, 8K analog I/O, and 12K I/O of any mix. The IC697CPX928 supports several modules, including IC697 LAN interface modules and various display, coprocessor, communications, and link interface modules. IC660/61 bus controllers and IC697 discrete and analog I/O modules are also compatible with this device.

 

To program this device, connect it to a computer loaded with MS-DOS, Windows 95, or Windows NT. This connection is possible by way of a serial, parallel, or Ethernet interface. For Ethernet connections to the programming computer, special hardware is required. As the IC697CPX928 is programmed via software, hardware setup with DIP switches and jumpers is not required. Device configuration settings can be protected digitally via a password and physically by a keyswitch.

 

The IC697CPX928 provides six megabytes of user and program data memory. This memory is maintained by a lithium CMOS battery. Up to 256 kilobytes of optional flash memory (NVRAM) is also supported. Operating system firmware is stored in flash memory. Device disassembly or EPROM replacement is not required to update firmware.

 

In environments where temperatures reach 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 Celsius), a fan capable of 70 cubic feet per minute (CFM) is required to prevent overheating.

 

The product manual contains detailed guidelines for installing the IC697CPX928. Rack power should be off before installing. The operation control switch should be in the stop position. The memory protection keyswitch should be in the off position. Place the CMOS battery into one of the battery connection slots. Insert the device into the rack and resume power.
