Description
Product Description
The IC697CPX928 is a robust CPU module engineered for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC family. Designed for large-scale and mission-critical automation systems, this module combines advanced processing power with high memory capacity to support complex control applications and extensive I/O configurations.
Equipped with a 32-bit microprocessor running at 96 MHz and 6 MB of RAM, the IC697CPX928 can manage up to 12,000 I/O points, including 8,000 analog points. It offers multiple communication options, including one RS-232 and two RS-485 serial ports, along with a dedicated factory reset port. Flash memory of 256 KB stores firmware and user programs, while the optional IC697ACC701 lithium battery preserves critical system data.
This single-slot CPU module features high-speed Boolean scan rates (0.4 µs per function) and supports ladder logic, structured text, and advanced GE Fanuc programming software. It operates reliably from 0°C to +60°C and fits standard Series 90-70 racks, making it an ideal choice for complex industrial automation projects.
