PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697CMM741 is an Ethernet controller module designed for Series 90-70 programmable logic controller systems. This communication unit complies with the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard. It provides network connectivity using CSMA/CD access methodology over Ethernet local area networks. The device supports both TCP/IP and MMS/OSI communication protocols for industrial data exchange.
The controller mounts directly into a single rack slot inside the PLC chassis. Network connection occurs via an AUI interface port utilizing a standard 15-pin D-sub connector. The module supports external transceivers to adapt to diverse network physical media configurations. Internal battery-backed RAM preserves critical operational data during facility power interruptions. Three onboard LED indicators provide operational health and communication activity monitoring.
