Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC697CPX772 is a high-performance Series 90-70 PLC CPU module designed to execute control programs, manage rack communications, and coordinate large I/O configurations in demanding industrial automation systems. It installs into a compatible IC697 baseplate and provides the processing core for discrete and analog control, as well as serial device integration through multiple onboard communication ports.

This CPU supports fast logic execution and includes floating-point capability for applications that require numeric precision. A built-in real-time clock with battery-backed retention supports time-stamped control and logging functions, while front-panel diagnostics and an operating mode switch help simplify commissioning and maintenance in the field.
