The GE-Emerson IC697CPU731 Series 90-70 Single Slot CPU resides in an IC697CHS PLC rack. The CPU is programmed and configured by MS-DOS or Windows-based programming software to perform real-time control of machines, processes, and material handling systems. The CPU communicates with I/O and smart option modules over the rack-mounted backplane by way of the VME C.1 Standard format.
Supported option modules include IC697 LAN Interface modules, several Coprocessor modules, Bus Controller for IC660/661 I/O products, Communications modules, I/O Link Interface, and all of the IC697 family of discrete and analog I/O modules.
Module operation may be controlled by the three-position switch or remotely by an attached programmer and programming software. CPU status is indicated by three green LEDs on the front of the module.
