The IC697RCM711 is a Redundancy Communications Module (RCM) belonging to GE Fanuc Automation’s Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) lineup. Equipped with a High-Speed Parallel Bus Expansion Interface, it is specifically engineered for Hot Standby and Enhanced Hot Standby CPU redundancy configurations. Its core role is to establish a synchronization path and I/O update channel between paired CPUs, enabling rapid data updates and bumpless control transfer during CPU switchover events.
As a key component of redundancy systems, the IC697RCM711 is typically paired with Series 90-70 Hot Standby Controllers (such as the IC697CPU780, IC697CGR772, and IC697CGR735/IC697CGR935), a Bus Transmitter Module (catalog number: IC697BEM713), and a Bus Terminator Plug (catalog number: IC697ACC702). The maximum allowable cable distance between the two CPUs is 50 feet (15 meters), with a range of compatible cables available: IC600WD series cables (5ft/1.5m, 10ft/3m, 25ft/7.5m, 50ft/15m) and optional I/O cables with integrated terminating resistors (IC697CBL811: 10ft/3m; IC697CBL826: 25ft/7.5m). This 15-meter maximum cable length allows the two CPUs to be installed in separate areas if required.
Electronically, the IC697RCM711 operates on a 5V DC bus voltage and has a current draw of 1.2 Amps. It supports a data transmission rate of 500 KB per second, requires no specific electrical isolation for operation, and is designed to be compatible with VME integrated devices.
For physical configuration and status monitoring, the module features two front-panel ports—one dummy port and one communication port for connecting to the Expansion Port IN. It is also equipped with intuitive status LED indicators, including OK, Local Ready, Local Active, Remote Ready, and Remote Active, providing real-time visibility of system operation. A manual pushbutton switch is included to initiate manual switchover between the active and backup modules, allowing operators to manually toggle control between the main and standby units.
Ideal for applications relying on Hot Standby or Enhanced Hot Standby CPU redundancy systems, the IC697RCM711 ensures stable and reliable communication between redundant CPUs, supporting seamless system continuity in critical industrial control scenarios.
