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,
