A 96MHz microprocessor allows this device to perform floating point calculations every 0.4 microseconds. Any mixture of 12K I/O and up to 8K analog I/O is supported by this device. The IC697CPX935 supports the following modules: the entirety of the IC697 family of discrete and analog I/O modules, programmable and alphanumeric display coprocessors, IC660 and IC661 bus controller modules, link and LAN interface modules, and communication modules.
The IC697CPX935 is configured via a connected computer running MS-DOS or software applications in Win 95 or Win NT. Connection to this programmer computer is possible via a serial, parallel, or Ethernet interface. No Dual Inline Package (DIP) switches or jumpers are necessary. Operational settings are secured by a software password on the programming computer or a memory protect switch on the device itself.
