Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the IC697CGR772 is discontinued, hard to source, or cost-prohibitive, the following models may serve as functional equivalents or drop-in replacements depending on your system configuration:
- GE IC697CGR935 — Enhanced coprocessor with expanded memory; direct rack-compatible replacement for most Series 90-70 applications
- GE IC697CPU772 — Standard CPU module; suitable when coprocessor offloading is not required
- GE IC697CPU781 — Higher-performance CPU; recommended for applications requiring faster scan times
- GE IC697CPU788 — Advanced CPU with Ethernet; ideal for networked SCADA integration upgrades
- GE IC697CPU789 — Top-tier Series 90-70 CPU; best for high-density I/O and multi-rack configurations
Note: Always verify firmware version, rack slot compatibility, and I/O configuration before substituting modules. Contact Konmask for pre-sales compatibility verification.

Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the IC697CGR772 or an alternative best fits your application:
- Retain IC697CGR772 if: Your existing rack and I/O configuration is built around the Series 90-70 platform and you require coprocessor offloading without system redesign
- Upgrade to IC697CGR935 if: You need expanded memory capacity while maintaining the same coprocessor architecture and rack form factor
- Upgrade to IC697CPU788/789 if: Your application requires Ethernet connectivity, faster scan times, or integration with modern SCADA/HMI systems
- Consider full platform migration if: Your Series 90-70 system is approaching end-of-life and you require long-term vendor support — GE’s PACSystems RX7i offers a compatible migration path

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Is the IC697CGR772 still in production?
A: GE has discontinued active production of most Series 90-70 modules. Konmask supplies verified surplus and refurbished stock.
Q: Can I replace IC697CGR772 with IC697CPU772 directly?
A: The IC697CPU772 is a standard CPU, not a coprocessor. Substitution is possible only if your application does not rely on coprocessor offloading. Consult your system integrator before swapping.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: GE Proficy Machine Edition (ME) or the legacy Logicmaster 90-70 software. Konmask can advise on software licensing if needed.
Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: Yes. Konmask ships worldwide with DHL, FedEx, and UPS express options. Export documentation provided for customs clearance.
Q: How do I verify authenticity of the module I receive?
A: Each unit ships with a Konmask inspection report. GE module serial numbers can be cross-referenced with GE’s product database.
