GE IC697CPU731

Usage Parameters

Microprocessor and Memory: The GE IC697CPU731 features an 80C186 microprocessor rated at 12 MHz and is equipped with user-configurable data memory and application programs based on approximate application requirements.

I/O Capacity: Up to 512 I/O points can be connected in any combination. In terms of analog I/O, the upper limit can be expanded to 8000, providing great flexibility for this type of controller to handle a variety of signals in industrial control systems.

Communication Interface: This CPU module comes with built-in RS-232 and RS-485 communication ports, supporting SNP, Modbus RTU and Series I/O protocols. The Series I/O protocol provides ASCII read/write functions and modem auto-dial functions using standard programming techniques, allowing external communication with other devices and systems.

Product Features

Programming and Control: Programming can use Windows-based software or DOS, allowing flexible selection of programming language/environment. Programming can be done with ladder diagrams, sequential function charts, and instruction statements; engineers can easily develop complex control programs. The CPU can run user programs that control I/O modules, either locally or for distributed control using fieldbuses to control industrial processes.

Data Processing and Arithmetic Operations: The IC697CPU731 can be used for many data processing operations, such as: floating point operations; PID control functions; and subroutines. This will allow the implementation of advanced control algorithms and calculations - enhancing temperature, pressure, or flow control in industrial processes - thereby comprehensively improving the performance and accuracy of the control system.

Diagnostics and Monitoring: Powerful diagnostic capabilities pinpoint faults with built-in PLC and I/O fault tables, retaining the time, location, and nature of the fault, and facilitating faster troubleshooting. Eye-catching LED indicators display run, fault, force, and communication status, allowing operators to monitor system status at a glance.

Security and Protection: Four-level program password protection, OEM password setting, and subroutine encryption ensure the protection and integrity of the control program, preventing unauthorized access and modification.

Application Scope

Industrial Automation: Commonly used in manufacturing plants to control production lines, such as automobile assembly lines, to implement operation sequences by observing sensor inputs and controlling actuators to ensure coordinated and smooth production processes.

Process Control: In the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries, it is used to control and monitor key process parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow, and level. The precise control of IC697CPU731 maintains product quality, efficiency, and production safety.

Building Automation: In building management systems, it is used to control and monitor HVAC systems, lighting, and access control. It can change environmental conditions based on occupancy, schedules, or external factors to improve energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

Power Generation and Distribution: Used in power plants, it monitors and controls generator sets, switchgear, and other electrical equipment. It can adjust power output, monitor grid parameters, and implement protective relay functions to ensure reliable and stable operation of the grid.
