Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC697CPU782 is an expandable CPU module for Series 90-70 PLC systems, intended for applications that require fast logic execution and floating-point math. Installed in a compatible IC697 VME-style baseplate, the CPU executes the user program, manages I/O scans across the backplane, and supports advanced control functions such as comparisons, scaling, and PID-style regulation when configured in the control strategy.

This processor supports discrete and analog data handling for larger control architectures. Battery-backed RAM retention helps preserve application data and configuration during power loss events, while a keyswitch-based memory protection feature supports controlled access during maintenance and commissioning.
