GE IC697CPX782-ED – High-Performance CPU Module | Series 90-70 PLC Platform
Engineering Background
The GE IC697CPX782-ED is a rack-mounted central processing unit (CPU) module designed for GE’s Series 90-70 programmable logic controller platform — one of the most widely deployed large-scale PLC architectures in heavy industry. Built to GE Automation & Controls’ stringent manufacturing standards, this CPU delivers deterministic scan-cycle performance and robust I/O management for mission-critical process environments.
Product Positioning
Targeted at maintenance engineers, system integrators, and MRO procurement teams managing legacy Series 90-70 installations, the IC697CPX782-ED provides a direct, specification-matched replacement or capacity-upgrade path without requiring rack or backplane redesign. Its compatibility with the IC697 module family makes it the preferred choice for extending the operational life of existing GE PLC infrastructure.

- Proven Field Longevity — designed for 24/7 continuous operation in harsh industrial environments with extended MTBF ratings
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The IC697CPX782-ED occupies Slot 1 of the IC697 VME-based rack and communicates with all I/O modules via the high-speed backplane bus. The CPU executes the user program in a continuous scan cycle: Input Scan → Logic Solve → Output Update → Communications Service. Ethernet ports connect upstream to SCADA/HMI systems via SRTP or Modbus TCP, while the serial port supports legacy SNP programming terminals and remote I/O drops. The module’s memory map is fully configurable through GE’s Proficy Machine Edition (PME) programming environment.
