GE IC697CMM711RR Redundant Communications Coprocessor Module
Engineered for High-Availability Industrial Communication Systems
Engineered for High-Availability Industrial Communication Systems
Product Overview
The GE IC697CMM711RR is a dual-channel redundant communications coprocessor module designed for mission-critical industrial automation systems. Built on GE Fanuc’s Series 90-70 platform, this module integrates the communication capabilities of the IC697CMM711 with advanced redundancy features to eliminate single points of failure. It supports seamless integration with GE’s modular PLC systems, enabling real-time data exchange across multiple protocols while ensuring continuous operation during hardware failures.
Featuring two independent RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 ports, the IC697CMM711RR allows simultaneous communication over dual redundant paths. Its soft-switch configuration eliminates the need for physical jumpers, while built-in diagnostics via three status LEDs (Module OK, Port 1, Port 2) provide instant visibility into operational health. The module’s 12 MHz 80C186 microprocessor ensures high-speed protocol processing, supporting up to 19.2 kbps data rates for applications like SCADA, remote I/O control, and legacy system integration.
Designed for harsh industrial environments, the IC697CMM711RR operates reliably from -20°C to +60°C and withstands EMI/RFI interference up to 100 V/m. Its redundant architecture supports hot-swappable operation, allowing field replacement of modules without system downtime. By combining communication processing with redundancy management, the IC697CMM711RR delivers robust connectivity for applications where downtime is costly, such as power generation, oil refining, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Key Features and Advantages
Dual Redundant Communication Paths: The IC697CMM711RR provides two independent communication channels, ensuring continuous operation if one port fails. This is critical for applications like remote terminal unit (RTU) control in oil pipelines or redundant SCADA systems.
Hot-Swap Capability: Field-replaceable design allows online module replacement without disrupting system operation, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) by up to 50% compared to non-redundant models.
Protocol Flexibility: Supports a wide range of industrial protocols, including CCM for peer-to-peer communication and Modbus RTU for legacy device integration. This versatility makes it ideal for hybrid automation systems combining modern and older equipment.
Real-Time Diagnostics: Three status LEDs and a push-button reset enable quick troubleshooting. The Module OK LED confirms operational integrity, while Port 1/Port 2 LEDs indicate data activity on each channel.
Space-Efficient Design: Single-slot form factor fits seamlessly into GE Fanuc Series 90-70 racks, optimizing cabinet space in control rooms or distributed control systems (DCS).
Cost-Effective Redundancy: By integrating redundancy directly into the communication module, users avoid the expense of separate redundancy controllers, lowering total cost of ownership (TCO) by 20–30%.
Application Areas
The GE IC697CMM711RR is widely deployed in industries requiring reliable, fault-tolerant communication:
- Power Generation: Enabling redundant communication between turbine control systems and grid synchronization modules to ensure stable energy output.
- Oil & Gas: Managing real-time data exchange between offshore platforms and onshore control centers, supporting emergency shutdown systems and predictive maintenance.
- Pharmaceuticals: Ensuring uninterrupted communication between cleanroom HVAC systems and PLCs to maintain sterile manufacturing environments.
- Water Treatment: Coordinating redundant SCADA networks for pump control and chemical dosing in wastewater treatment plants.
Its compatibility with GE’s Genius I/O and GMR (Genius Modular Redundancy) systems makes the IC697CMM711RR ideal for retrofitting aging automation infrastructure. For example, it can integrate legacy Modbus devices into modern redundant PLC systems without replacing existing software.
