Product Role & System Fit
At its core, the GE IC697PCM711 is a programmable coprocessor module designed specifically for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC platform. Rather than replacing the main CPU, it works alongside it, handling user-defined processing tasks that would otherwise consume valuable scan time.
Within a Series 90-70 rack, this module installs like any other intelligent option card. Once powered, it operates as an independent processor with access to PLC memory and I/O data through the system backplane. This architecture allows engineers to design custom algorithms, communication handlers, or specialized control routines without modifying or slowing down the primary PLC program.
Compatibility has always been a strong point of this design. The GE IC697PCM711 integrates cleanly with Series 90-70 CPUs, power supplies, and I/O modules. From a system design standpoint, this reduces risk. There is no need for external wiring between processors or separate enclosures, which simplifies both documentation and maintenance.
In practical terms, the module often acts as a bridge between standard PLC logic and advanced computing needs. Whether handling protocol conversions, executing mathematical models, or managing proprietary machine functions, it extends the functional reach of the PLC without forcing engineers into an entirely separate control platform.
From a lifecycle perspective, many facilities continue to operate Series 90-70 systems decades after commissioning. The continued use of modules like the GE IC697PCM711 speaks to the robustness of the platform and the foresight of its modular architecture.
