Ge Fanuc IC697MEM713 , Expansion Memory manufactured , Series 90-70

Product Description

IC697MEM713 is an Expansion Memory manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation, which offers memory ranges of 64 KB, 128 KB, 512KB, and 256 KB. Application of IC697MEM713 is in the data memory and logic memory expansion of the modules IC697CPU771 and IC697CPU772 or IC697PCM711 (which is the Programmable Co-Processor Module).

IC697MEM713 is installed as a daughter board and is located in the same slot as the module it serves. This expansion memory supplements memory available on the existing base board. Memory is retained during power loss due to the battery situated on the base board housing. Logic program memory is automatically error-checked by the PLC CPU in the background. The PCM error checks storage memory when power is cycled and during instances of hard or soft resets.

To install IC697MEM713, the user must ensure the rack power is off. Then the 64 pin connector can be plugged into the connector on the base board, snaps engaged. Once the module is placed in rack, power-up can be initiated. Turn power on the included lithium battery maintains power in the instance of power loss. This battery also operates the calendar clock. The user must be careful to install a new battery before removing the old battery.

IC697MEM713 has a shelf life of 10 years at 20 C or 68 F and should retain memory for six months nominal without applied power.

About IC697MEM713

The GE Fanuc IC697MEM713 programmable coprocessor module is a high-performance microcomputer that has been designed to perform coprocessor functions and it combines the functions of the communications module and the ASCII module or Basic module. The IC697MEM713 module is made for the Series 90-70 GE Fanuc PLC. It is configured to function with 1 or 2 independent CCM ports or with just a single serial port. The IC697MEM713 module is a programmable coprocessor module and it can be programmed by using a powerful BASIC language known as the MegaBasic. This programming language effectively performs data acquisition, ensures effective data storage, and carries out the function of data retrieval while ensuring real-time computing.

The IC697MEM713 module features a Restart or Reset pushbutton that is used to place the module in "RUN Mode" or the "PROGRAM Mode." Note that pressing the Restart/Reset pushbutton for less than 5 seconds puts the IC697MEM713 module in the "RUN mode." This is referred to as a soft reset. Pressing the Restart/Reset pushbutton for more than 10 seconds makes the PCM enter the "PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT mode." The IC697MEM713 module features up to 3 LED indicators that are found on the top and front of the PCM. The first LED indicator shows the "OFF state," which means that the IC697MEM713 module is not functioning. This can occur in case of hardware malfunctioning. The second LED shows the "ON state," and the LED glows steadily unless there is a problem. The last LED flashes whenever there is a power-up diagnostics process taking place.
