It is a single slot CPU with three serial ports and provides 6 Megabytes of battery-backed memory in the same slot. The IC697CPX928 contains 256K of non-volatile user flash memory and supports BMA in release 7.92 and later. The hardware supports floating point calculations and offers 12K inputs and outputs (any mix) and up to 8K analog I/O. The IC697CPX928 has a 96 Megahertz, 80486DX4 microprocessor and supports IC66 and IC697 I/O. The IC697CPX928 is programmed by MS-DOS software products or Windows based software products running on Windows 95 or Windows NT over Ethernet TCP/IP or through an SNP port. Additional features include configurable data and program memory, a battery-backed calendar clock, a three-position operation mode switch, password-controlled access, remote programmer keyswitch memory protection, seven status LEDs, software configuration, and in-system upgradeable firmware.

Specifications for the IC697CPX928 include a battery shelf-life of 5 years at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit), a battery memory retention of 6 months nominal without applied power, and a current required from 5 Volts bus of 3.1 Amperes (nominal). The lithium battery used for the IC697CPX928 maintains program and data memory when power is removed and operates the calendar clock. Operating temperature with forced air is 0 to 60 degrees Celsius and 0 to 50 degrees Celsius without forced air. Time-of-day clock accuracy is 3.5 seconds per day (maximum) while elapsed time clock (internal timing) accuracy is .01% maximum.

The GE Fanuc Series 90-70 module, with the catalog id IC697CPX928, is a Central Processing Unit (CPU) that is primarily used to run user programs that have been downloaded to the CPU's memory. This CPU module is a single-slot chassis including an 80486DX4 microprocessor that runs at 96 Megahertz and takes 0.4 seconds to execute a Boolean function. This Module has a 6 Megabytes battery-backed RAM onboard and a 256 Kilobytes non-volatile user flash memory in which the CPU firmware is also kept. The IC697CPX928 supports up to 12K inputs and outputs in any combination, as well as up to 8K analog inputs and outputs. It can handle data with 32-bit floating-point precision.
The programming software is used to set up the IC697CPX928. In order to configure hardware settings, there have been no jumper wire connections or DIP switches. MS-DOS or Windows-based operating software products that run on Windows 95 version or Windows NT version through TCP/IP or an SNP port program application tools. This controller has seven status LEDs, a lithium battery for storing the contents of the Random-Access Memory (RAM), and communication interfaces including one RS232 serial port, two RS485 serial ports, and one Factory Reset port.
The IC697CPX928 is compatible with a range of option modules that may be used to improve and expand the CPU's capabilities. I/O Link Interface, Ethernet Interface Modules, Alphanumeric Coprocessors, Bus Controllers, Programmable Coprocessors,  Communication Modules, and total IC697 discrete and analog I/O module family are among the available optional modules. The IC697CPX928 Module requires 3.1 Amps of the nominal current. The needed input voltage is 5 volts DC. The Module can function at ambient temperatures from 32 to140 ° F thanks to its 70 CFM forced air conditioning.
The IC697CPX928 CPU module's working temperature range is decreased to 32 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit without forced air cooling. Rack fan assemblies supplied by an alternating current of  240 Volts or 120 Volts or Direct Current of 24 Volts can be placed on the IC697CPX928 Module, depending on the kind of power supply available. The CPU module has three serial ports, two of which support RS-485 and one of which supports RS-232 connection. The module’s serial ports may be made utilized to connect to programming devices and set up the CPU. Optional Ethernet modules can also be added to the PLC to allow the IC697CPX928 Module to be configured through Ethernet networks. The IC697CPX928 Module supports a max. of 8000 analog I/O and 12,000 digital I/O in any combination. Installation of the IC697CPX928 Module needs one section in a GE Fanuc PLC rack Series 90-70 family. The front of the Module has a total of 7 LEDs for status updates.
