PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697CPU731 is a central processing unit module for the Series 90-70 control platform. It occupies a single slot in the system rack and requires 1 Ampere of operating current. The module executes logic at an internal clock speed of 12 megahertz. For control routines, it provides 32 kilobytes of fixed-size CMOS RAM. The unit supports up to 512 discrete input and output modules. In addition, it can manage up to 8,000 analog input and output modules across the system.
System data retention is maintained by an integrated lithium battery during power outages. This battery delivers memory retention for up to six months without external power applied. The lithium cell features a shelf life rating of up to ten years at 20°C. For scheduling precision, the internal clock maintains an accuracy of ±3.5 seconds per day. Diagnostic feedback is displayed through three green LED indicators. A three-position operation mode switch enables direct field selection of operating states. Communication interfacing is established via a single RS422 or RS485 serial port.
