More Information

Overview Manuals Compatibility Redundant Operation Diagnostics Applications

Features:

  • Supports as many as 12K discrete inputs and outputs in any mix.
  • Coordinates common IC660 and IC661 Genius I/O.
  • Uses redundant controller voting for critical output decisions.
Large I/O capacity lets IC697CPU789 manage a wider distributed control area than the CPU 788 while retaining the same GMR operating principle.

Each participating processor works from synchronized process information so one inconsistent result can be identified before it controls the field.

Retained expansion memory preserves the application and controller state needed for recovery following rack power loss.

System scale and hardware matched to IC697CPU789

  • GMR role: The processor belongs in a coordinated redundant controller group.
  • I/O scale: The configured system may contain as many as 12K mixed points.
  • Genius devices: IC660 and IC661 products form the distributed field layer.
  • Expansion memory: The 512 KB board must be present and initialized for the saved application.

Decision handling in an IC697CPU789 controller group

  • State sharing: Controllers exchange the process information needed for equivalent logic execution.
  • Result comparison: Voting distinguishes a single inconsistent processor result from the group decision.
  • Controller recovery: A repaired unit is synchronized before it can influence commanded outputs.
  • Service continuity: Healthy members retain control while a failed processor is isolated.

Troubleshooting a large IC697CPU789 installation

  • Scope first: Determine whether the symptom follows one CPU, the Genius network, or a shared field device.
  • Fault history: Compare controller fault tables and redundancy status at the same event time.
  • Capacity check: Confirm that configured I/O and memory use remain inside the CPU 789 limits.
  • Return check: Test synchronization, voting, and field updates after the repaired unit rejoins.

Large-scale duties suited to IC697CPU789

  • Plantwide sequencing: The 12K-point capacity supports extensive coordinated interlocks.
  • Distributed processes: Genius networks carry field information across broad production areas.
  • Material networks: Redundant decisions maintain routing and transfer operations through a controller fault.
  • Critical utilities: Multiple CPUs protect essential services from a single processor failure.
Description
General Electric IC697CPU789 supplies 32-bit control processing for large Genius Modular Redundancy applications.

Its 12K mixed-I/O capacity allows redundant controller groups to coordinate extensive distributed field systems while voting protects the final control decision.

A 512 KB battery-backed expansion board retains the application and the working data used during synchronized operation.

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.
When should IC697CPU789 be selected instead of IC697CPU788?
Choose IC697CPU789 when the GMR application can exceed the 352-point capacity of IC697CPU788 and requires support for as many as 12K mixed I/O points.
How is a controller disagreement investigated on IC697CPU789?
Compare IC697CPU789 programs, synchronized data, redundancy state, fault times, and Genius I/O health to identify whether the disagreement originates in one CPU or the shared field system.
What must happen before a repaired IC697CPU789 rejoins voting?
Load the correct IC697CPU789 application, restore its redundancy identity, synchronize current operating data, and verify agreement with the active group.
Which expansion memory is associated with IC697CPU789?
IC697CPU789 uses a 512 KB 32-bit expansion-memory board for retained program and operating data.
How can an I/O-capacity problem be recognized on IC697CPU789?
Compare the configured mixed-I/O total and address allocation with the IC697CPU789 12K-point capacity, then resolve duplicate or out-of-range assignments.
What records are needed before replacing IC697CPU789?
Capture the IC697CPU789 rack position, controller role, application checksum, memory configuration, Genius settings, fault history, and current synchronization state.
How is IC697CPU789 tested after maintenance?
Confirm clean diagnostics, successful synchronization, matching controller results, stable Genius updates, and an allowed transfer test before restoring full GMR service.
