PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697CPM925 is a Processor Module belonging to the Series 90-70 programmable controller family. It features an 80486DX2 microprocessor running at a clock frequency of 64 megahertz. The processor supports 32-bit floating-point math calculations. It delivers a Boolean function execution speed of 0.4 microseconds per Boolean operation. The unit manages up to 12K discrete inputs and outputs. It also addresses up to 8K analog input and output points across the control system.
The module integrates 1 Megabyte of random-access memory backed by a lithium battery. Memory retention lasts up to 6 months without backplane power applied to the rack. A single serial port provides communication through RS-422 and RS-485 electrical standards using the SNP protocol. Power requirements are rated at 3.3 Amperes nominal current at 5 Volts DC. Three front panel LED indicators show module OK, RUN, and outputs enabled statuses.
