Technical Features & Benefits

The IC697CPM924-BB is recognizable at a glance on the rack backplane by its single-slot footprint and familiar front-panel features: a three-position RUN/STOP switch, a keyed memory-protect option, and a set of four green LEDs that communicate operational status at a glance. This physical interface design was deliberately chosen for field clarity — technicians can quickly ascertain CPU health, processing state, or fault conditions without remote diagnostic tools.

Internally, the CPU sports a 32-bit architecture with floating point computation capability, a feature that significantly broadens the range of control strategies it can execute effectively. In practice, floating point support is indispensable in applications involving complex analog scaling, multi-axis motion profiles, and distributed process loops requiring real numbers and high numerical resolution. With up to approximately 12 KB discrete I/O capacity manageable through I/O expansion modules, and memory for both program and data storage, this CPU integrates smoothly into both discrete logic-centric systems and hybrid analog environments.

Memory stability is central to industrial operations — unexpected power loss should not erase critical logic or configuration data. To address this, the IC697CPM924-BB incorporates battery-backed RAM that can retain user programs and data during power interruptions. A replaceable lithium battery is built into the module and is rated for long shelf life, enabling data retention for months in the absence of applied power. This design significantly reduces the risk of unplanned downtime when power events occur.

Communication and control flexibility are further underscored by the module’s integrated serial port. This port allows connection to handheld programmers or engineering workstations for configuration, diagnostics, and program upload/download. Combined with the physical RUN/STOP switch, technicians can choose between local and remote control paradigms during commissioning or maintenance tasks.

Overall, the IC697CPM924-BB blends computational strength, memory resilience, and intuitive field interaction — delivering a CPU solution suited to mid-range industrial automation systems where both performance and reliability are priorities.
