The IC697CPU772 module is a CPU module that is compatible with GE Fanuc's 90-70 series programmable logic controllers. The 90-70 series product line is a family of PLCS and PLC components that provide a fully functional controller that is easy to configure and install in any system. The 90-70 series PLCS are designed to be compatible with other PLCS that form part of the larger GE Fanuc 90 Series PLC family. The 90-70 series includes a large number of different PLC system components, including CPU modules and racks. I/O system, power supply, Genius I/O and many optional modules. The architecture of the CPU module is based on an Intel 80X86 or 80X86DX processor. The IC697CPU772 module uses an 80C186 microprocessor with a 12 MHZ system clock.
The IC697CPU772 module occupies a slot in the PLC rack. The CPU module supports floating-point arithmetic. Since 64, 128, 256, and 512 KB CMOS extended memory modules can be installed on the IC697CPU772 module, the system memory is scalable. Replaceable system batteries provide backup power to program and data storage in case system power is removed. Before installing a replacement battery, the old battery must be removed. The current required by the IC697CPU772 module from the 5-volt DC bus is 1.2 amps. This current requirement includes the current consumed by the extended memory. The IC697CPU772 module is configured using MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows-based programming tools. To ensure there is no deviation from the programmed configuration, the CPU verifies the actual configuration at startup and periodically during system operation. An integrated serial port can be used to connect to a serial programmer.
