Product Role & System Fit
In industrial automation architectures, the central processing unit is the nerve center that interprets control instructions, executes logic, and coordinates input/output actions across the system. The GE IC697CPX935-BA serves exactly this purpose within the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller platform. Designed as a single-slot CPU module, this controller combines high processing performance with modular flexibility, enabling designers and engineers to build scalable automation systems that can handle large I/O counts and demanding real-time requirements.
The most compelling attribute of the GE IC697CPX935-BA lies in its use of a 96 MHz Intel 80486DX4 microprocessor, which delivers consistent floating-point and Boolean execution performance. This capability makes it well suited to applications that must compute control decisions rapidly and reliably — from large packaging lines to water treatment process control. Because it adheres to the Series 90-70 backplane and module standards, integration with other I/O and communication modules (discrete, analog, and smart option cards) is seamless.
Within a control rack, engineers can pair this CPU with a broad range of I/O modules, communication cards, and specialty modules to assemble a tailored automation solution. Its compatibility with legacy GE I/O families (both IC660/IC661 and IC697 families) ensures that brownfield systems can be maintained or upgraded without wholesale architecture changes. This ability to retrofit within existing frameworks is a key reason many facilities continue to rely on Series 90-70 CPUs like GE IC697CPX935-BA years after initial deployment.
