Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC697CPM915 is a single-slot CPU module for the Series 90-70 PLC platform. It executes the user control program, manages I/O scanning over the backplane, and supports integration with optional communication and specialty modules. The CPU is intended for installed Series 90-70 control systems where stable legacy support, deterministic control behavior, and rack-based expansion are required.

The module provides local and remote control of operating mode and includes front-panel indicators for quick status verification during commissioning and maintenance.
