I/O modules

This single slot CPU executes user logic for GE Series 90-70 PLC systems. It provides high-speed processing for demanding industrial automation applications. Therefore, this component suits complex control tasks in manufacturing and process industries.

Physical Dimensions and Weight Specifications

The GE IC697CPX772 occupies one standard slot in the Series 90-70 rack. Its housing measures 220 mm in depth for backplane connectivity. The module weighs approximately 0.52 kg for straightforward handling. Consequently, technicians can install this unit without additional rack reinforcement.

Interface Types and Connection Layout

The GE IC697CPX772 provides one RS-232 port for local programming access. A second RS-485 port supports connection to remote I/O stations. The front panel carries a built-in Ethernet port for network communication. Hence, users can program and monitor this CPU over standard plant networks.

Component Count and Onboard Memory

This single slot CPU contains one main board with a 32-bit processor. The board holds 1 MB of battery-backed RAM for user programs. You will also find 2 MB of flash memory for non-volatile storage. An onboard real-time clock maintains timestamp data during power cycles.

Energy Storage and Power Consumption

The GE IC697CPX772 draws 1.2A from the 5V backplane supply. A lithium battery retains RAM data for 1,000 days without external power. This battery maintains user programs during prolonged facility shutdowns. Therefore, the CPU eliminates the need for frequent reprogramming after outages.

Processing Speed and I/O Capacity

The processor executes 0.18 microseconds per basic logic instruction. It handles up to 8,192 digital I/O points within a single scan. Users can store up to 128 KB of logic in the RAM memory. This capacity supports large automation systems for complex production lines.
