PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697CPU771 is a Series 90-70 Processor Module designed for programmable logic controller assemblies. It operates using an 80C186 microprocessor running at a 12 MHz clock speed. The processor delivers a Boolean execution speed of 0.4 microseconds per Boolean function. It manages up to 2 kilobytes of discrete input and output memory combinations. The unit also addresses up to 8000 analog inputs and outputs with 8 kilobytes of memory.
This single-slot central processing unit installs directly into slot 1 of rack 0. It communicates across rack-mounted backplanes using the VME C.1 standard bus architecture. Memory expansion boards provide CMOS RAM capacity options of 64, 128, 256, or 512 kilobytes. An IC697ACC701 lithium battery maintains data and program retention during system power loss. Configuration connects via an integrated RS-485 serial port or optional Ethernet modules.
