The GE Fanuc Emerson IC697CGR772 is a CPU that can be employed for the Series 90-70 of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The IC697CGR772 offers a speed of 96 Megahertz and high calculation efficiency employing an 80486DX4 microprocessor and a 32-bit floating-point for CPU redundancy applications. The IC697CGR772 is a single slot CPU that can be programmed and configured through either MS-DOS or Windows. It includes seven (7) LED indicators on the faceplate to show the CPU status and a battery-backed fast CMOS RAM of 512 kilobytes with a key switch to protect the memory. The IC697CGR772 offers 2048 inputs and outputs and 8-kilo analog inputs and outputs. The IC697CGR772 provides 0.4 microseconds per boolean function. The IC697CGR772 supports IC660, IC661, and IC697 I/O modules. This CPU has configurable data and program memory which can be locked and protected using either software or key password. The IC697CGR772 has three (3) serial ports.

The IC697CGR772 can be controlled using either programming software or the RUN/STOP three-position switch. The IC697CGR772 includes the top port 1 which is a 6-pin, female RJ-11 connector that is RS-232 compatible, the center port 2 which is a 15-pin female type D serial isolated connector that is RS-485 compatible, and the bottom port 3 which is a 15-pin female type D serial non-isolated connector that is RS-485 compatible. The IC697CGR772 contains a lithium battery with a shelf life of five (5) years at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) to maintain data, program memory, and calendar clock operation. The IC697CGR772 requires a current of 3.1 Amperes at a voltage of 5 Volts DC. It includes flash memory to store and save CPU firmware and user data during the upgrading process between PC and the serial port. The IC697CGR772 weighs approximately 910 grams (2.0 pounds) while shipping and operates at zero (0) to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) for industrial applications.
