Description
Product Overview
The GE IC697GDS701 is a CMOS extended memory module designed for GE’s 90-70 Series PLC systems (specifically the PACSystems RX3i platform). It functions as a critical expansion component to enhance the storage capacity of high-performance CPU modules (e.g., IC697CPU771RR, IC697CPU772RR) and programmable coprocessor modules (e.g., IC697PCM711). Available in four memory configurations—64 KB, 128 KB, 256 KB, and 512 KB—this module installs as a sub-board within the same slot as its parent module, seamlessly integrating to supplement base memory for complex logic and data processing tasks. Engineered for industrial reliability, the IC697GDS701 ensures stable operation in demanding environments such as manufacturing and energy infrastructure, enabling scalable automation solutions without hardware overhauls .

Key Features and Advantages
1. Flexible Memory Expansion:
The IC697GDS701 provides configurable memory upgrades (64–512 KB) to support data-intensive applications, such as real-time process logging and advanced control algorithms, without replacing core CPU hardware .
2. Seamless Integration:
As a sub-board, it installs directly alongside compatible CPUs or coprocessors, eliminating complex wiring and minimizing rack space. This plug-and-play design accelerates system upgrades and reduces integration downtime .
3. Industrial Robustness:
Operates reliably in temperatures up to 60°C and resists electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it suitable for harsh settings like power plants or steel mills .
4. Data Integrity Assurance:
When paired with backup batteries (e.g., IC697ACC701), it preserves critical program data during power outages, ensuring uninterrupted control sequences in mission-critical processes .
