Communication Performance
The module supports TCP/IP over standard Ethernet at 10 Mbit/s data rates. Therefore, it moves production data between PLCs and SCADA hosts efficiently. Furthermore, dual port options cover both 10BaseT and AUI cabling styles. Consequently, one module adapts to legacy and modern network layouts.
Interface and Integration
A backplane connector links the IC697CMM742-HJ directly to the Series 90-70 rack. As a result, the CPU exchanges network data through protected internal paths. Additionally, front-panel indicators show link, activity, and fault conditions.
Power and Backup
The unit draws 5 VDC at 1.0 A from the system power supply. Moreover, a 3.0 V lithium battery preserves network configuration during outages. Consequently, technicians avoid re-entering addresses after brief interruptions.
Installation Notes
Operators insert the module into a standard Series 90-70 rack slot. The compact housing occupies one slot, conserving valuable chassis space. However, users should verify IP addressing and subnet settings before commissioning.
