Industrial Control & Drives (PLC/DCS/Drives)
This GE expansion memory module mounts directly into the standard Series 90-70 rack system to establish high-speed backplane bus communication velocity. The physical circuit architecture interfaces with the primary central processing unit to expand the local program data space and facilitate complex instruction routine processing. The layout is optimized for firmware flash compatibility, preventing data parity errors or transfer latency while executing deterministic automation profiles across local networks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the IC697MEM717 module support hot-swapping while the PLC rack is powered?
A: No. Power to the Series 90-70 backplane must be completely isolated before inserting or removing the memory expansion hardware to prevent component damage or register corruption.
Q: How does the processor recognize the supplemental 64 KB capacity?
A: Configuration must be completed within the standard programming software interface to declare the exact expansion slot and align the memory map addressing boundaries.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Turn off all main and auxiliary power supplies feeding the PLC rack prior to sliding the module into the designated slot.
- Ensure the module aligns precisely with the upper and lower plastic guides within the Series 90-70 chassis before applying seating pressure.
- Push the module firmly into the backplane connectors until the faceplate latch engages securely to maintain grounding continuity.
- Observe standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions, including using a grounded wrist strap, when handling the internal circuit assemblies.
