The IC697CPX935 is a 90-30 series central processing unit (CPU). The controller is a single socket CPU module with three (3) serial ports for communication. Specifically, it has one (1) RS232 serial port and two (2) RS485 ports in a 9-pin D-shaped housing. These ports support SNP Slave and Break-Free SNP Slave. All ports support SNP slave stations, while the Break-Free SNP slave stations are only available on ports 1 and 2. The IC697CPX935 also features a 96 MHz, 80486DX4 microprocessor with a Boolean execution speed of 0.4 microseconds, which integrates 1MB of battery-powered random access memory (RAM) and 256 KB of non-volatile flash memory. The controller can accommodate 12K bits of discrete input and output data. For analog input and output, the controller has 8K word memory allocation. This enables the controller to be used for large applications as it is able to achieve I/O capacity. The IC697CPX935 must be installed in an environment that does not exceed 50 degrees Celsius. This CPU requires the use of a forced-air cooling fan to maintain temperature limits. Cooling fan assemblies can be used with this CPU, such as rack fan assemblies rated at 120 VAC (IC697ACC721); Rack fan assembly, operating voltage 240 VAC (IC697ACC724); 24 VDC rack fan components. The directory number is IC697ACC744. This CPU is downloaded using a user program developed using MS-DOS or Windows-based programming software. In addition to standard I/O and option modules, the CPU also supports communication with I/O and smart option modules via a rack-mounted backplane that supports VME C.1.
The GE Fanuc IC697CPX935 CPU is a single-socket PLC CPU manufactured by GE Fanuc as part of the GE Intelligent Platforms/GE Fanuc PLC Series 90-70 product line. The module has 3 built-in serial ports for real-time control of the system. The IC697CPX935 CPU uses the VMEC.1 format and communicates with various smart option modules through a rack mounted on the backplane. The CPU is connected to the computer to run either by software or using a 3-bit run and stop control switch. It is also equipped with a 96 MHz microprocessor that enables the device to perform a floating-point calculation after every 0.4 microseconds. The IC697CPX935 CPU supports any combination of 12,000 inputs and outputs and up to 8,000 analog inputs and outputs. The GE Fanuc IC697CPX935 CPU supports modules in the GE IC697 family, analog and discrete I/O modules, and alphanumeric and programmable display processors. It also supports communication modules, GE IC660 and IC661 bus controllers, and link or LAN interface modules. The IC697CPX935 single-slot PLC CPU has 1 MB of RAM and is backed up with an IC697ACC701 battery. It is also equipped with flash memory with a storage capacity of about 256 KB for storing user data. The local flash memory is used to store the system firmware. Users of this device do not need to remove the device or replace the EPROM when updating the firmware. The GE Fanuc IC697CPX935 CPU is configured using connected computers running software applications or MS-DOS in Windows NT or Windows 95 operating systems.
