GE IC697CPX772 Central Processing Unit

GE IC697CPX772 Central Processing Unit

DESCRIPTION

The CPX772 is a single slot PLC CPU that is programmed and configured by MS-DOS or Windows based programming software to perform real time control of machines, processes and material handling systems. It communicates with I/O and smart option modules over the rack-mounted backplane using the VME C.1 Standard format Supported option modules include LAN Interface modules, Programmable Coprocessor, Alphanumeric Display Coprocessor, Bus Controller for IC660/661 I/O products, Communications modules, I/O Link Interface, and all of the IC697 family of discrete and analog I/O modules.

Operation, Protection, and Module Status

Operation of this module can be controlled by the three-position RUN/STOP switch or remotely by an attached programmer and programming software. Program and configuration data can be locked through software passwords or manually by the memory protect keyswitch. When the key is in the protected position, program and configuration data can only be changed by a programmer connected parallel only (to the Bus Transmitter module). CPU status is indicated by the seven green LEDs on the front of the module.

Installation

It is the responsibility of the OEM, system integrator, or end user to properly install the PLC equipment for safe and reliable operation. Product manuals provide detailed information about installation, startup, and proper use of the PLC equipment. The installation manual, shipped with your PLC programming software, describes how to properly install the equipment.

96 MHz, 32-Bit Point, 512 Kbyte (Slow) Memory Central Processing Unit

If the PLC installation must comply with supported standards, such as FCC or CE Directives, please refer to the Installation Requirements for Conformance to Standards, shipped with the PLC programming software, for additional guidelines. Installation should not be attempted without referring to the applicable Programmable Controller Installation Manual.

Connect the battery to either of the battery connectors on the module . 

Put the toggle switch in the STOP position. 

Put the keyswitch in the Memory Protection OFF position. 

Make sure that rack power is off.
