Functions

The CPM 790 is a single slot programmable controller

CPU which allows floating point calculations.   The CPM

790 is programmed and configured with MS-DOS or

Windows based programming software for use in

Emergency Shut-Down (ESD), fire and gas, and other

critical control applications.   It communicates with I/O

and smart option modules over the rack mounted

backplane (IC697CHS750. 782. 783. 790. 791) by way of

the VME C.1 Standard format.

The CPM 790 must be used in conjunction with a

Standalone C program which provides Triple Modular

Redundancy (TMR) operating and autotest routines.   It

will not operate unless this program is included in the

loaded application program.

For detailed information on TMR systems, see

Reference 4. the IC66* Modular Redundancy Flexible

Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) System User’s Manual.

Supported option modules include IC697 LAN Interface

modules, Programmable Coprocessor, Alphanumeric

Display Coprocessor,  Bus Controller for IC660/661 I/O

products, Communications modules, I/O Link Interface,

and all of the IC697 family of discrete and analog I/O

modules.

User Memory

Program and data memory for the CPM 790 is provided

by a memory board with 1 Mbyte of battery-backed

CMOS RAM.   512 Kbytes of this memory is available for the

user’s application program and data.   This memory board is

an integral part of the CPM 790 module and is included

with the module.

Load

only be changed by a programmer connected parallel

only (to the Bus Transmitter module).   The status of a

CPU is indicated by the four green LEDs on the front

of the module.

Operating Temperature

Flash Memory

IC697CPM790

This module uses flash memory for storage of the

operating system firmware (this module does not sup

port storage of user program in the flash memory).   This

allows updates of the firmware without disassem

bling the module or replacing EPROMs.   The oper

ating system firmware is updated by connecting a

PC compatible computer to the module’s serial port

and running the Loader software included with the

firmware floppy disk.

Operation, Protection, and Module Status

Operation of this module can be controlled by the

three-position RUN/STOP switch or remotely by an

attached programmer and programming software.

Program and configuration data can be locked

through software passwords or manually by the

memory protect keyswitch.   When the key is in the

protected position, program and configuration data can

The CPM 790 requires forced air cooling for proper

operation in ambient temperatures greater than 40C

(104 F).   A fan capable of 70 CFM (including filters)

should be located beneath slot 1 of the rack containing

the CPU.

IC697CPM790

Fan assemblies (IC697ACC721. IC697ACC724. and

IC697ACC744) can be ordered for direct mounting on

the IC697 rack.   Refer to the applicable Programmable

Controller Installation Manual for detailed information.

Installation

It is the responsibility of the OEM, system integrator, or

end user to properly install the PLC equipment for safe

and reliable operation.   Product manuals provide

detailed information about installation, startup, and

proper use of the PLC equipment.   The installation

manual, shipped with your PLC programming software,

describes how to properly install the equipment.   If the

PLC installation must comply with supported standards,

such as FCC or CE Directives, please refer to the

Installation Requirements for Conformance to Standards,
