MORE INFORMATION

Overview Manuals Technical notes Product Applications Status Indications

Features:

  • High Speed Parallel Bus Expansion Interface
  • Supports Hot Standby and Enhanced Hot Standby CPURedundancy system configurations
  • Provides path for shared I/O and synchronizingmessage between Primary and Secondary PLCs
  • Five LED indicators for board and system status
  • Pushbutton switch for manual switch from active tobackup unit
  • Software configuration using MS-DOS programmingsoftware configuration function
This Redundancy Communications Module (RCM) provides apath for a synchronizing message from the active to the backupunit which is used to synchronize the two CPUs in a HotStandby or Enhanced Hot Standby CPU Redundancy system.It also provides the path for the transfer of shared I/O databetween the two units. The physical connection between unitsin a redundancy system can have up to 25 feet (7.5 meters) totalof interconnecting cable. The CPUs for Hot Standby CPURedundancy systems can be either IC697CPU780,IC697CGR935, or IC697CGR772.

The module occupies a single slot and has two connectors,the top connector is for attachment to the upstream BTM orBRM and the bottom connector is unused. The RCM can beinstalled in slots 2 through 9 of rack 0 (CPU rack).Five green LEDs provide status indication of the health of theRCM module and monitor the control status of the Hot StandbyCPU Redundancy system. These LEDS are labeled BOARDOK, LOCAL READY, LOCAL ACTIVE, REMOTE READY, andREMOTE ACTIVE. Local refers to the system that the RCMis in; remote is the other system connected through theexpansion bus and is automatically configured by the systemto be in slot 1 of rack 7. Rack 7, however, is not available forphysical I/O.

The IC697RCM711 GE Redundancy Communication module may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The IC697RCM711 module is a redundancy communications module in the Series 90-70 product line by GE Fanuc Automation. The IC697RCM711 communications module is generally used in applications that include a Hot Standby or an Enhanced Hot Standby CPU Redundancy system. Both of these systems can have a connection length of at least 7.5 meters which enables them to be located in different areas if needed. The CPUs that support this kind of operation are the IC697CPU780, IC697CGR935, and the IC697CGR772 CPU. The GE Fanuc Automation Series 90-70 IC697RCM711 communications module requires a current of 1.2 Amps and a Bus voltage of 5 Volts and it also comes with an expansion interface that uses a 15-meter connection cable. This module can communicate at a data rate of 500 KB per second and it does not require specific electrical isolation in order to operate. This module has been designed to operate with the VME integrated devices. The GE Fanuc Automation IC697RCM711 communications module comes with status indicators and a physical pushbutton. Through these buttons, the current state of the system can be changed from the main unit to the backup unit and vice versa.

The five green LEDs at the top of the module providestatus information as shown in figure 3. The top LED(BOARD OK) is ON when power is applied, the board isconfigured, there were no diagnostic failures in the RCM,no diagnostic failures when establishing communications(the link) with the other RCM, and no failures incommunications on the link.The other LEDs (LOCAL READY, LOCAL ACTIVE,REMOTE READY, and REMOTE ACTIVE) indicate thecontrol status of the Primary and Secondary units in a HotStandby CPU Redundancy system. For detaileddescriptions of each of these LEDs, refer to the HotStandby CPU Redundancy User’s Guide, or the EnhancedHot Standby CPU Redundancy User’s Guide.
