Product Introduction

GE IC697CPM925-AA is a single-slot floating point CPU for Series 90-70 PLC systems, handling real-time control of discrete and analog I/O via rack backplane. Supports IC697 discrete/analog modules plus IC660/661 Genius blocks.

64 MHz processor executes 0.4 µs Boolean with 1 MB RAM for large programs. Field techs pick it for high-speed math over base CPMs—installs in slot 1 with RUN/STOP switch and serial programmer port. Needs fan cooling; verify PSU holds 3.3 A load.

Troubleshooting Quick Reference

Symptom Possible Cause Relevance to this Part Quick Check Method Recommendation
No CPU OK LED on power-up Backplane voltage drop or dead battery ✅ High Measure 5 VDC >4.75 V at slot 1 pins with Fluke 87 Swap battery first; reseat in slot 1, calc PSU 3.3 A +20%
RUN/STOP switch ignored Firmware lockout or keyswitch fault ✅ Medium Toggle to STOP, read serial %SA underrun bits Cycle power in STOP; clear password via programmer
I/O scan timeout rack-wide Config mismatch programmed vs actual ✅ High Logic 90 software rack scan: slot faults flagged Verify module types in slots 2+; photo before changes
Program retain fails after outage Battery <2.8 V or loose connection ✅ High Check battery LED; measure 3 VDC on pins Install new CR2430 before unplug; 6 mo max holdup
Overheat shutdown Missing 70 CFM fan or dust block ❌ Low IR >65°C on heatsink; airflow test paper strip Mount fan direct back; clean fins yearly 24/7 duty

Dump fault table to programmer before reset. CPUs outlast racks—90% faults from power or config. Send logs if stuck.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Slot position—must be rack 1?
Yes, slot 1 leftmost only. Won’t latch elsewhere; backplane handshake fails.

AA firmware level?
Early release—check label vs host needs. Supports Logicmaster 90-70 v7+. Flash updates via serial if bulletin applies.

Battery swap procedure?
Power off, swap CR2430 type, 6 mo holdup max. Program reloads from EEPROM unless password blocks.

Fan cooling mandatory?
Yes, 70 CFM direct. No fan = thermal trip at 1 hr full load. Mount external if rack fan weak.

❗ Biggest swap pitfall?
❗ RUN/STOP in RUN during install—locks config, bricks until programmer clear. Set STOP, key OFF first. Burned me twice early days.

Condition and test process?
New Surplus: OEM stock, full rack test with 12K I/O sim at 64 MHz. Serial ping verified; no shorts. Reports ready.

Warranty, shipping?
1-year DOA. In stock, ships post burn-in cycle. Zero lead time.
