Product Description
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697PCM711 is a Programmable Coprocessor Module (PCM) from the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform, designed to enhance processing capabilities in industrial automation systems. Manufactured by GE, now under Emerson Automation Solutions following the 2019 acquisition of GE Intelligent Platforms, this single-slot module features a 12 MHz 80C186 microprocessor and supports dual-tasking for real-time computations, operator interface functions, and data-related tasks such as storage, acquisition, and communication. It is suited for applications in manufacturing, power generation, and process control, offering up to 512 KB of optional expansion memory and two serial ports (RS-422/RS-485 or RS-232) for flexible connectivity.
