The GE-Emerson IC697CPU782 Series 90-70 Expandable Floating Point 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 all IC697 LAN interface modules, several Coprocessor modules, Bus Controller for IC660/IC661 I/O, Communications modules, and all of the IC697 family of discrete and analog I/O modules.
Program and data memory for the CPU is available by the attachment of an expansion memory board with either 128, 256, or 512kb of battery-backed CMOS RAM, or 256kb with 256kb of non-volatile flash.
