Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695LCU003 is a high-performance CMOS expansion memory module developed by GE (now under Emerson Automation) for the 90-70 series PLC systems, designed to extend the logic and data storage capabilities of programmable controllers in industrial automation. This module integrates seamlessly with co-processor modules (e.g., IC697PCM711) and CPUs (e.g., IC697CPU771/772), acting as a sub-board installed in the same slot to supplement the base memory of the host module . Equipped with a 12 MHz 80C186 microprocessor and 32 KB of integrated memory, the IC695LCU003 supports real-time control of machinery, material handling systems, and complex processes by enabling rapid data access and execution of large-scale control programs. It eliminates the need for physical jumpers or DIP switches, relying instead on software configuration via MS-DOS or Windows-based tools over Ethernet TCP/IP or SNP ports. With built-in validation checks during power-up and runtime, the module ensures configuration integrity and triggers alarms for deviations, enhancing system reliability in demanding environments like manufacturing plants and energy facilities .

Key Features and Advantages
Scalable Memory Expansion: The GE IC695LCU003 offers four memory configurations (64–512 KB), allowing flexible adaptation to project complexity without hardware modifications. This scalability optimizes resource allocation for large I/O systems, supporting up to 8K analog and discrete I/O points .
Real-Time Diagnostics and Validation: During operation, the module continuously verifies programmed configurations against actual hardware states. Deviations trigger immediate alarms, reducing troubleshooting time by 30% in critical processes like assembly line synchronization or turbine control .
Industrial-Grade Reliability: Designed for 24/7 operation in harsh conditions, the module operates within 0°C–60°C and includes battery-backed RAM (via IC694ACC302 or IC690RBT001 batteries) to preserve data during power outages. This ensures uninterrupted control in environments like offshore platforms or automotive plants .
Plug-and-Play Integration: Native compatibility with 90-70 series CPUs and VME C.1 backplane communication simplifies retrofitting into legacy systems. Firmware updates via serial ports (RS-232/RS-485) minimize downtime during upgrades .
