Product description

The GE Fanuc IC697CPU731 is a 12 MHz, 32 KB CPU using an 80C186 microprocessor. A single slot for the CPU is located within the PLC rack. IC697CPU731 uses MS-DOS or Windows programming software (via Ethernet TCP/IP or via SNP ports) to make the module perform the correct programming and configuration. No jumpers or DIP switches are provided for configuration. When powered on and running, this CPU performs configuration verification. The alarm function can report deviations in actual and programmed configurations.

The capabilities of the IC697CPU731 include controlling processes, machines and systems to process materials in real time. The CPU can support analog I/O modules up to 8K, including the discrete and analog module families of the IC697. It uses the standard format of VME C.1 to communicate with intelligent option modules and I/O. The user can control the module operation using a three-position mode switch or programming software. There are three green leds that indicate the CPU status.

The basic components of the IC697CPU731 microprocessor include the register stack, the arithmetic, the timing control circuit, and the data and address bus. Among them, the control unit is responsible for the decoding and execution of instructions, the arithmetic logic unit performs various arithmetic and logic operations, and the register group is used to store data and instructions. The microprocessor performs beat control through clock signals, thus executing tasks in an orderly sequence of instructions.

According to the application area, IC697CPU731 microprocessors can be roughly divided into four categories: general purpose high-performance microprocessors, embedded microprocessors, digital signal processors, and microcontrollers. General-purpose high-performance microprocessors are mainly used in personal computers and servers, such as Intel’s X86 series and AMD’s Zen series. Embedded microprocessors emphasize high performance for application-specific problems and are primarily used to run specialized programs for specific domains, such as automotive electronics, Internet of Things devices, etc., such as ARM’s Cortex family. Digital signal processors are mainly used for digital signal processing such as audio and video, such as TI’s DSP series. Microcontrollers are mainly used in home appliances, industrial control and other control fields, such as STM32 series.
