Independent Processing Capability
The IC697PCM711X operates as an independent processor alongside the main CPU. This coprocessor handles complex mathematical computations, data logging, and communication tasks. The module executes user-defined programs written in C or assembly language. Consequently, the main CPU dedicates more resources to time-critical control logic and scan processing.
Extensive Memory Resources
This coprocessor module provides 256 KB of battery-backed RAM for user programs and data storage. The 512 KB Flash EPROM stores the operating system and application code permanently. The lithium battery retains all RAM contents for up to six months. Furthermore, the module includes 2,048 internal data registers and 256 timers and counters for sophisticated programming.
Flexible Communication Interface
The IC697PCM711X features three serial ports for versatile device connectivity. Two RS-232 ports connect to programming terminals, printers, and operator panels. The RS-485 port supports multi-drop networking with up to 32 devices on a single bus. The module supports SNP, Modbus RTU, ASCII, and user-defined protocols for broad compatibility.
Efficient Data Buffering
This coprocessor integrates 4 KB transmit and 4 KB receive FIFO buffers for smooth data handling. These buffers prevent data loss during high-speed communication or processor-intensive operations. The module manages data flow independently from the main CPU. This architecture improves overall system throughput and reduces communication latency.
Robust Construction and Diagnostics
The IC697PCM711X features LED indicators for power, run status, and fault conditions. The module reports diagnostic data to the main CPU for remote monitoring. The rugged construction resists vibration, humidity, and temperature variations. The compact 220 x 160 mm form factor and 0.50 kg weight simplify rack installation.
