IC697CPX935 modular

Description

The IC697CPX935 is a Single-Slot PLC CPU with three built-in serial ports manufactured by GE Automation and Controls. It is capable of performing real-time control of systems. Using VMEC.1 format, the IC697CPX935 can communicate with different “smart option” modules via a backplane mounted on the rack. This device is operated via a three-position run/stop control switch or by a connection to a computer running appropriate software.
A 96MHz microprocessor allows this device to perform floating point calculations every 0.4 microseconds. Any mixture of 12K I/O and up to 8K analog I/O is supported by this device. The IC697CPX935 supports the following modules: the entirety of the IC697 family of discrete and analog I/O modules, programmable and alphanumeric display coprocessors, IC660 and IC661 bus controller modules, link and LAN interface modules, and communication modules.
One megabyte of on-board RAM memory is supported, which is maintained by a IC697ACC701 battery. Flash memory (NVRAM) is also supported with up to 256 kilobytes available for user data. System firmware is stored in flash memory. Disassembling the device or replacing the EPROM is not necessary for updating the firmware.
The IC697CPX935 is configured via a connected computer running MS-DOS or software applications in Win 95 or Win NT. Connection to this programmer computer is possible via a serial, parallel, or Ethernet interface. No Dual Inline Package (DIP) switches or jumpers are necessary. Operational settings are secured by a software password on the programming computer or a memory protect switch on the device itself.
