The IC697CPX782 centers around a 80486DX4 microprocessor running at 96 megahertz. This high clock speed enables fast program execution and quick response to input changes. The module processes a single Boolean function in just 0.4 microseconds, delivering excellent throughput for both discrete and analog control tasks. Furthermore, the CPU supports in-system firmware upgrades, allowing you to update the module's operating software without removing it from the rack. This feature simplifies maintenance and ensures you can benefit from future enhancements. Additionally, the IC697CPX782 supports BMA (Backplane Memory Access) in release 7.92 and later, enabling efficient data exchange with other modules in the system.
The IC697CPX782 provides generous memory resources for large-scale control programs. It includes 1 megabyte of battery-backed RAM, which stores your user program and retains data during power interruptions. Additionally, the module features 256 kilobytes of non-volatile RAM (NV-RAM). This NV-RAM retains critical data without battery backup, adding an extra layer of data security. The battery offers a shelf life of 5 years at 20 degrees Celsius, ensuring long-term memory retention. Such memory capacity makes the IC697CPX782 suitable for applications with extensive logic, data tables, and recipe management requirements.
The IC697CPX782 supports substantial I/O configurations, accommodating up to 12,000 total I/O points in any mix. Specifically, it handles a maximum of 8000 analog inputs and 8000 analog outputs, providing ample capacity for process-intensive applications. The module integrates seamlessly with the full range of Series 90-70 I/O modules, including discrete, analog, and specialty modules. This flexibility allows you to build comprehensive control systems tailored to your specific process requirements. Furthermore, the CPU works with various communication processors and network interface modules, extending its connectivity options.
The IC697CPX782 features three on-board serial ports, offering versatile connectivity for programming and data exchange. Port 1 supports RS-232 communication, making it ideal for direct connection to a programming terminal. Ports 2 and 3 both support RS-485 communication, which enables longer-distance connections and multi-drop networking. For Port 1, you need a standard serial cable. For Ports 2 and 3, you also require a converter to adapt the RS-485 signals. These three ports provide flexibility for connecting programmers, operator interfaces, and other serial devices. Additionally, three of the five front-panel LED indicators show the status of serial port activity, simplifying troubleshooting and monitoring.
For Ethernet-based programming and communication, the IC697CPX782 works through an Ethernet interface module installed in the PLC rack. This approach enables high-speed program downloads, remote monitoring, and integration with plant-wide networks. You can connect a programmer to the CPU over Ethernet using standard networking equipment. Alternatively, you can use the serial ports for direct programming access. Both methods provide reliable configuration and monitoring capabilities, and the choice depends on your network infrastructure and preference.
The IC697CPX782 supports in-system firmware upgrades, a valuable feature for maintaining and improving system performance. You can update the module's firmware without removing it from the chassis or interrupting operations for extended periods. This capability allows you to implement bug fixes, performance enhancements, and new features as they become available. Performing a firmware upgrade typically involves downloading the new firmware file through the programming software over Ethernet or serial connection. This feature minimizes downtime and ensures your system remains current with the latest improvements.
The IC697CPX782 draws 3.1 Amps from the 5 Volts DC bus, which is the standard backplane voltage for Series 90-70 systems. This current consumption includes the module's internal circuitry and memory components. The module operates reliably within a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for most industrial environments. Additionally, the lithium battery maintains memory contents during power loss and offers a 5-year shelf life at 20 degrees Celsius. For optimal battery life, store the module in a cool, dry environment when not in use.
Installing the IC697CPX782 follows a straightforward process. First, ensure the PLC chassis is powered off and disconnected from mains supply. Next, select an available slot in the Series 90-70 rack, preferably one with adequate ventilation. Slide the CPU module into the slot along the guide rails until it seats firmly against the backplane connector. Then, tighten the retaining screws to secure the module. After installation, connect your programming device either through Port 1 using a serial cable, or via Ethernet using an Ethernet interface module. Load your control program and configure the CPU using the programming software. Finally, set the operating mode and power on the system.
