The GE IC697PCM711 is a high-performance programmable coprocessor module designed to offload complex communication and data processing tasks from the main Series 90-70 CPU. Equipped with its own dedicated microprocessor and memory, the PCM711 is ideal for executing custom communication protocols, performing intensive mathematical calculations, or managing sophisticated operator interface requirements. It supports dual serial ports that can be independently configured, allowing the system to interface simultaneously with third-party devices such as barcode readers, printers, or specialized sensors without impacting the PLC’s scan time.

Model Comparisons
The IC697PCM711 is a significant advancement over the IC697PCM701, offering a much larger memory buffer and a faster 80186-based internal clock for quicker logic execution. While the PCM711 is programmed primarily via MegaBasic or C, it differs from the IC697CMM711 (Communication Control Module) in that the CMM is a dedicated protocol slave (e.g., for SNP or RTU), whereas the PCM is a fully programmable “mini-computer” within the rack. Compared to modern RX3i equivalents like the IC695CMM302, the PCM711 remains a VME-standard legacy component that requires specific configuration through the Logicmaster 90 or Proficy Machine Edition software environments.
