The IC697CPM790-GD is a 64 MHz CPU manufactured by GE Fanuc with computing power using 32-bit floating point and a microprocessor 80486DX2. It is a single slot wide module designed for critical applications such as emergency shutdown systems, fire, gas and other applications.
Its main features include:
The relatively fast scan rate of 0.4 microseconds per Boolean function is suitable for critical applications.
The user controls the operation of the module by programming software or using the operating mode of the run/stop three-position switch.





The module has flash memory dedicated to the operating system firmware, allowing firmware updates via a connection between the PC and the module's serial port.
It has 1 MB of battery backup memory and up to 512KB can be used for user programs configured with ladder programming language.
It has discrete inputs and outputs of up to 12K (mixed simplex mode only).
It has a triple modular redundancy (TMR) setup for automated test routines.
It has a relatively fast clock speed of 3.5 seconds per day (maximum).
Overall, the IC697CPM790-GD is a powerful PLC CPU module designed to meet the needs of critical applications with high reliability, speed and flexibility.
