Product Role and System Fit
At its core, the GE IC697CPX772 is a central processing unit designed for GE Fanuc’s Series 90-70 programmable logic controller architecture. It occupies a single slot in the PLC backplane and interfaces directly with I/O modules, communications modules, and optional coprocessors. What distinguishes this CPU from simpler digital I/O boards is its role as the brain of the automation system: it executes logic, manages data memory, supervises communications, and coordinates field I/O in real time.
Compatibility is one of the module’s strongest attributes. It accepts both IC660/IC661 I/O and IC697 family modules, providing flexibility for system integrators maintaining mixed hardware environments. This means you can deploy the GE IC697CPX772 in retrofit projects where older I/O cards remain in place, or in phased upgrades where new I/O modules are introduced alongside legacy infrastructure.
The module supports multiple serial protocols such as SNP, SNPX, and RTU, enabling communication with remote devices, PLC programming terminals, HMIs, and other PLC networks. The presence of three serial ports—one RS-232 and two RS-485—makes it particularly effective in systems requiring simultaneous communications for programming, diagnostics, and field data exchange.
From a systems engineering standpoint, placing the GE IC697CPX772 at the heart of a PLC rack gives you deterministic control logic execution combined with a flexible communication backbone. Whether orchestrating discrete machine states or managing complex analog loops, it maintains responsiveness and predictability in automation processes.
