The IC697PCM711 operates as an intelligent coprocessor running at 12 MHz, maintaining deterministic backplane bus communication velocity by handling real-time data processing independently from the main CPU. Through its dual serial ports, the module executes multi-protocol communication programs using CCM2 protocol structures. The integrated hardware interface offloads complex serial string manipulation and user-written algorithms from the main ladder scan, preserving scan-time predictability across the backplane bus while maintaining firmware flash compatibility with Series 90-70 controller racks.
Q: What is the backplane power consumption requirement for the IC697PCM711 module?
A: The IC697PCM711 draws 1 A at 5 VDC directly from the Series 90-70 backplane power supply rail.
Q: How are the serial ports configured on the front of the module?
A: The module features two serial ports that can be individually configured via hardware jumper/software settings for either RS-232 or RS-422/RS-485 serial communication modes.
Q: What maintains the user program and memory storage during power loss?
A: User RAM and application memory are maintained during main system power disruption by an onboard lithium battery, which features a shelf life rating of up to 10 years at 20 deg C.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
We have sourced Honeywell and Schneider parts here for two years. Every shipment arrives well-packaged with original factory seals intact. Clear communication and the best lead times in the industry.
