GE Fanuc IC697CPM790 Series 90-70 High-Performance PLC

Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC697CPM790 functions as the high-tier processing core for the Series 90-70 PLC family. This 100% Brand New CPU module utilizes an Intel 80486DX microprocessor to execute complex control algorithms and manage high-density I/O configurations. Engineered for large-scale industrial applications, the IC697CPM790 provides 8MB of onboard RAM to handle extensive user programs and data logging requirements. It serves as the primary coordinator for logic execution, system diagnostics, and multi-protocol communication, making it a staple in power generation and heavy process industries.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Superior Processing Power: The 25 MHz Intel 80486DX processor provides the necessary computational speed for safety-critical environments. It manages high-speed floating-point calculations, ensuring precise control over turbine steam valves and generator excitation systems.

• Extensive Memory Footprint: With 8MB of RAM, the IC697CPM790 accommodates massive logic files and complex PID loops. This eliminates the need for external memory modules in most large-scale applications, reducing the overall hardware footprint in the rack.

• Robust Data Retention: The battery-backed RAM protects critical system variables and the real-time clock during power failures. This architecture ensures the PLC resumes operation immediately upon power restoration without losing accumulated process data or state information.

• Advanced System Diagnostics: Onboard LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback on CPU health, I/O status, and communication faults. These hardware-level diagnostics allow maintenance teams to identify and resolve system bottlenecks before they lead to unplanned downtime.

FAQs

• Can the IC697CPM790 support Ethernet communication? Yes. While the CPU includes serial ports, it interfaces seamlessly with GE Fanuc Ethernet expansion modules (such as the IC697CMM series) within the same Series 90-70 rack to support modern network architectures.

• Does this CPU support floating-point math? Absolutely. The integrated 80486DX processor includes a built-in math coprocessor, which significantly accelerates the execution of complex scientific and engineering calculations compared to lower-tier CPUs.

• Is the IC697CPM790 compatible with all Series 90-70 racks? The module follows the standard Series 90-70 form factor and occupies a single slot in the primary rack. Always ensure your power supply module has sufficient +5V output to support the CPU and your total I/O load.

• Is this product a genuine GE original unit? Yes. We provide only 100% Brand New, original GE Fanuc IC697CPM790 modules. Each unit arrives in its original factory packaging, guaranteeing the USA-made quality and electrical reliability required for your critical control infrastructure.
