Product Role & System Fit
The GE IC697CPX935-GE occupies a central role in industrial control systems. As a single-slot central processing unit (CPU) for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) family, it serves as the principal engine driving logic execution, I/O coordination, and communication across the automation architecture. Designed specifically for real-time process control and large automation frameworks, this controller bridges field devices, human-machine interfaces (HMI), and supervisory systems with dependable determinism.
Unlike modern modular controllers that may distribute control tasks across multiple processors, the GE IC697CPX935-GE consolidates processing, memory, I/O handling, and communications in a compact, single-slot package. Placed in a standard 90-70 rack alongside discrete and analog I/O modules, it forms the logical heart of a plant’s PLC infrastructure. This arrangement simplifies wiring layouts and reduces latency between the CPU and connected I/O modules.
One distinguishing characteristic of this CPU is its flexible connectivity. With three integrated serial ports—one RS-232 and two RS-485—it can directly interface with remote terminals, barcode scanners, industrial printers, legacy instruments, or even other automation nodes without the need for additional expansion cards. In multi-vendor operations where legacy equipment still performs critical functions, this flexibility significantly enhances integration peace of mind.
From a system-level viewpoint, the GE IC697CPX935-GE is backward compatible with GE Fanuc I/O families such as IC660/IC661 and IC697 discrete/analog modules, while aligning with VME C.1 rack communication standards. This compatibility allows brownfield automation systems to upgrade or replace failed CPUs without overhauling entire cabinets—an invaluable trait for facilities with long operational lifecycles.
