GE IC697CPU731 Central Processing Unit

Overview

The GE Fanuc IC697CPU731 is a central processing unit (CPU) module for the Series 90-70 PLC. It controls industrial processes, machines, and material handling systems in real-time. This single-slot CPU occupies only one slot in the PLC rack. It communicates efficiently with I/O and smart option modules via the backplane. The CPU supports MS-DOS and Windows-based programming software for configuration.
