The IC697CPM915 is a 32 MHz, 32-bit floating point CPU in the 90-70 series manufactured by GE Fanuc. The CPU is programmed by MS-DOS or Windows software to control machines, processes, and material handling in real time. It communicates with the I/O and smart option modules through a rack-mounted backplane. Some features include a single-slot CPU, 1 MB of same-slot battery backup memory, 12K mixed input and output, up to 8K analog I/O, and configurable data/program memory. The IC697CPM915 supports floating-point calculations and has an execution time of 0.4 microseconds per Boolean function.
Multiple option modules are supported, including all IC697 LAN interface modules in the IC697 family, multiple coprocessor modules, IC660/661 bus controllers, and discrete/analog I/O modules. IC697CPM915 stores operating system firmware via flash memory; However, this module does not support storing user programs. Firmware can be updated without removing or replacing the EPROM. Firmware updates are done by connecting a compatible PC to a serial port and running the provided Loader software.
Four green leds are provided on the IC697CPM915 CPU module to display the CPU status. The IC697CPM915 module is a 32 MHZ CPU module that supports floating point. The user memory on the module is 1 MB. A lithium battery mounted on the module provides battery backup for data stored in the user's memory.
