GE FANUC IC697CPU732 , Single Slot Programmable Controller CPU

Product Description

Manufactured by GE Automation, the IC697CPU732 is a single slot programmable controller CPU capable of controlling industrial equipment and processes in real time. To communicate with I/O and “smart option” modules, this device uses a rack-mounted connection backplane. This device has a 12 MHz 80C186 microprocessor capable of floating point decimal calculations at speeds of 0.4 microseconds per Boolean function. Up to 8K analog I/O is supported by this device, along with any mixture of 512 inputs and outputs.

The IC697CPU732 supports IC697 LAN interface modules, IC697 discrete and analog I/O modules, multiple coprocessor and communications modules, I/O Link Interface modules, and bus controllers for IC66* modules. Configuration of this device is accomplished by connecting the module to a programmer computer and running IC641 programming software.

DIP switches and jumpers are not used in the configuration of this product. For security, configuration settings are password protected. User memory, programming data, the calendar, and the clock are maintained by a lithium CMOS battery.

This device supports an 8-wire serial multidrop configuration. The number of programmable controllers allowed in this configuration is determined by cable length. A 24 AWG 30V serial cable should be used in this setup to connect the controller to a computer. Warning: Terminal strips or alternate connectors should not be used in the transmission line for a multidrop configuration.

To operate the IC697CPU732, use either the three-position switch or an attached computer running IC641 programming software.Refer to the product manual for proper installation instructions. Turn off power before connecting the device. Place the three-position operation switch in the STOP position. Place the battery in one of the battery connection slots. Connect the device to slot 1. Power on the device.

About IC697CPU732

The IC697CPU732 module is a central processing unit or CPU for the GE Fanuc industrial PLC systems. The IC697CPU732 CPU supports both fixed and floating point mathematical operations. The IC697CPU732 module requires a single slot in the PLC chassis and it draws 1 Amp of current from the backplane at 5 Volts DC input voltage.

An integrated serial port on the CPU module supports both the RS-485 and RS-422 communication protocols and it can be used to connect to a programmer for the configuration of the CPU module. The IC697CPU732 module is configured with the IC641 programming software. There are no DIP switches or jumpers on the CPU for configuration. The CPU memory is backed by a battery which is rated for 10 months of shelf life at 20 degrees Celsius. The catalog number of the lithium battery is IC697ACC701.

The IC697CPU732 module supports a total of 512 inputs and outputs. The number of analog I/O supported by the module is 8000. The IC697CPU732 module takes 0.4 microseconds to process a single Boolean function. The 80C198 microprocessor on which the CPU module is based is clocked at 12 megahertz. The IC697CPU732 module supports the IC66 and IC697 I/O modules.

Access to the module can be restricted through the use of passwords to prevent unauthorized access and therefore prevent configuration changes which could adversely affect the PLC functions. The operation of the IC697CPU732 module is controlled by a 3-position switch on the front of the module or through a connected programmer and the IC641 software. Three LEDs on the front of the IC697CPU732 module display the status information for installers and operators.
