Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the PLC rack is powered down before inserting or removing the IC697CMM741 module to prevent electrical damage.
• Handle the module using proper ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions to protect sensitive internal components.
• Seat the module firmly into the designated Series 90-70 backplane slot and secure it using the integrated locking mechanisms.
• Use shielded communication cables to minimize EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) in industrial environments.
• Verify that the network cabling (AUI or transceiver) is correctly seated in the 15-pin D-type connector before applying power.
• Check the status LEDs after power-up to confirm the module has successfully initialized and established a network connection.
