Specifications

Description

IC697MEM717 is a cMos Expansion Memory developed by GE. It is a high-performance CMOs Expansion Memory (PCM) designed by GE to enhance the functionality of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in industrial automation. This module is ideal for tasks requiring additional processing power, data management, and communication capabilities. Equipped with advanced features, it efficiently handles data acquisition, storage, and communication functions within PLC systems, making it a versatile choice for complex industrial applications.

Applications

Large power plants: Used for turbine control (DEH) and boiler main control systems.

Oil plants: Handle complex production formulas and high-density analog data.

Large steel plants: Support high-speed computational logic for hot/cold rolling lines.

Automobile assembly plants: Multi-station synchronous control of early GM/Ford production lines.

Features

1 Single Slot Coprocessor: The PCM occupies just one slot in the PLC rack, optimizing space for other modules.

2 Dual Tasking: This module supports dual-task operations, allowing it to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, increasing operational efficiency.

3 MegaBasic Support: The MegaBasic programming language provides a robust environment for developing custom applications.

4 CCM2 Protocol: Ensures reliable data communication.

5 12 MHz, 80C186 Microprocessor: Delivers high-speed processing, achieving 90% of the performance of an IBM AT computer.

6 Expandable Memory: Up to 96 KB of battery-backed memory, with optional expansion of up to 512 KB.

7 Two Serial Ports: Supports RS-422/RS-485 or RS-232 interfaces for flexible connectivity.

8 Real-Time Calendar Clock: Synchronizes with the PLC's internal clock, providing accurate timing for applications.

9 Soft Configuration: Eliminates the need for DIP switches or jumpers, allowing configuration through MS-DOS or Windows-based software.

10 Reset and Status LEDs: The PCM includes a reset button and three LEDs to indicate operational status.

Installation Process

1 Power Off the Rack: Ensure that the PLC rack's power is switched off before installation.

2 Install Expansion Memory: If additional memory is needed, install the expansion memory daughter board.

3 Battery Connection: Connect the battery to one of the module's battery connectors to enable data retention.

4 Rack Installation: Insert the PCM module into the designated slot in the rack.

5 Power On: Switch on the rack power, The top LED on the module should blink initially and then remain steady to indicate successful diagnostics.
