FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
What processor and memory does the IC697CPM790-DC use?
The IC697CPM790-DC uses a 64 MHz 80486DX2 processor and supports floating-point calculations. It contains 1 MB of battery-backed CMOS memory, with up to 512 KB available for the application program and associated data.
What communication options does the IC697CPM790-DC support?
The IC697CPM790-DC includes an RS-422/RS-485-compatible serial programming port. Ethernet TCP/IP programming requires an additional IC697CMM741 or IC697CMM742 Ethernet interface module installed in the PLC system.
What applications commonly use the IC697CPM790-DC?
The IC697CPM790-DC is intended for emergency shutdown systems, fire and gas detection systems, process protection, and other critical control applications. It is particularly suitable for installations requiring redundant PLCs, redundant Genius buses, and voted field signals.
Which I/O systems are compatible with the IC697CPM790-DC?
The IC697CPM790-DC supports IC660 and IC661 Genius I/O in redundant control systems. IC697 discrete and analog I/O modules are also supported, but the official data sheet limits IC697 I/O use to simplex configurations.
Does the IC697CPM790-DC require special TMR software?
Yes. The IC697CPM790-DC must operate with a Standalone C program containing the required TMR operating and automatic-test routines. According to the official documentation, the CPU will not operate as intended unless this program is included in the loaded application.
What is the replacement for the IC697CPM790-DC?
The IC697CPM790-DC does not have a universal one-for-one replacement that can be selected without an engineering review. Emerson promotes PACSystems RX3i as a modernization path for Series 90-70 installations, but the existing GMR/TMR logic, Standalone C routines, Genius I/O, communication modules, rack hardware, and safety requirements must be evaluated before migration.
