The General Electric IC697CMM721 is a high-performance Carrierband MAP Interface Module designed specifically for the Series 90-70 programmable controller platform. As part of the GEnet family of industrial automation solutions, this module provides a direct, high-speed connection between a Series 90-70 PLC and an IEEE 802.4 carrierband network. It implements the Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP) version 3.0 specification, enabling seamless multi-vendor interoperability within complex factory automation architectures.
Equipped with an onboard modem daughter board and RAM-based protocol storage, the IC697CMM721 supports easy firmware updates without requiring hardware modifications. An integrated battery backup system maintains communication software integrity for at least six months during power loss. The single-slot module also features a 9-pin RS-232 serial DTE port for programmer connection and local GeneT System Manager (GSM) integration.
