Technical Specifications of the IC697MEM732

The GE Fanuc IC697MEM732 offers selectable memory capacities. You can configure it for 128 KB, 256 KB, or 512 KB. This memory serves both program logic and data storage. The baseboard holds the RAM for normal operation. The module does not need an additional slot for installation.

Power and Battery Backup Details

The GE Fanuc IC697MEM732 draws 2.25 Amps total current. This includes both the expansion memory board and the CPU module. A lithium battery on the baseboard provides backup power. The battery maintains memory for 6 months nominal without applied power. The same battery keeps the calendar clock running during power loss.

Memory Retention and Error Checking

When power disconnects, the GE Fanuc IC697MEM732 does not lose its memory. The battery backup ensures reliable data retention. The non-volatile flash memory stays intact during power loss. The CPU automatically performs error checking on the logic program memory. This error checking runs as a background process.

Shelf Life and Compatibility

The GE Fanuc IC697MEM732 has a shelf life of 10 years at 20°C. This makes it suitable for long-term storage as a spare part. The module supports daughterboard operation on compatible CPUs. It works with GE Fanuc CPU models 780, 781, 782, 788, and 789. The module ensures proper operation of these processors.

Installation Guidelines for the IC697MEM732

Install the GE Fanuc IC697MEM732 as a daughterboard on the CPU slot. A qualified technician should perform this installation. Always install a new battery before removing the existing one. This prevents any possible loss of memory or clock data. The installation process is straightforward with proper training.
