Product Overview
The GE Fanuc IC697RCM711C is a Redundancy Communication Module for the Series 90-70 PLC platform. It enables synchronization between primary and secondary CPUs in a Hot Standby redundant system, ensuring both processors maintain identical runtime data. This allows near-instant failover in the event of a CPU or system fault. Supplied 100% brand new in factory-sealed packaging.
