PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697CPX935 is a single-slot Processor Module for the Series 90-70 programmable logic controller system. This module features a 96 MHz 80486DX4 microprocessor delivering a Boolean execution rate of 0.4 microseconds. It includes 1 MB of battery-backed random access memory and 256 KB of non-volatile flash memory. The memory structure supports up to 12K discrete inputs and outputs and up to 8K analog words.
Real-time backplane communication occurs over a rack-mounted backplane interface conforming to the VME C.1 standard. Physical control options provide a 3-position run and stop switch alongside software-directed execution modes. The unit integrates three serial communication ports, including one RS-232 port and two RS-485 interfaces. High-density processing allows operation with intelligent option modules, LAN interfaces, and standard IC697 modules.
