GE IC697HSC700 Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC697HSC700 is a high-performance high-speed counter module designed for GE’s 90-70 Series Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform. Engineered to deliver precise and reliable counting and timing functions in industrial automation systems, the GE IC697HSC700 serves as a critical component for applications requiring real-time measurement of rotational speed, position, and event counting. As part of GE’s advanced control portfolio, this module integrates seamlessly with other 90-70 Series components, making it ideal for industries such as manufacturing, power generation, and material handling where accuracy and speed are paramount.
The GE IC697HSC700 supports up to four independent high-speed counter channels, each capable of handling input frequencies up to 10 MHz. It features the flexibility to operate in various counting modes, including incremental encoder, pulse train, and event counting, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of field devices such as encoders, proximity switches, and tachometers. The module’s rugged design (178 mm × 102 mm × 254 mm) and 1.5 kg weight enable easy integration into standard 19″ racks, while its 24 VDC power supply and wide operating temperature range (0°C to +60°C) ensure reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.
In automation architectures, the GE IC697HSC700 acts as a frontline interface for converting mechanical motion or electrical pulses into digital signals processed by the PLC. Its built-in diagnostic capabilities monitor counter health and alert operators to anomalies, minimizing downtime. By combining high-speed processing with flexible configuration via GE’s Proficy software, the module empowers engineers to optimize production line efficiency, enhance quality control, and support complex motion control applications.

Main Features and Advantages
High-Speed Performance: The GE IC697HSC700 handles input frequencies up to 10 MHz, ensuring precise measurement of high-speed rotational equipment such as turbines, motors, and conveyors. This capability is critical in applications where split-second timing affects process efficiency.
Multi-Channel Flexibility: With four independent channels, the module supports simultaneous monitoring of multiple motion parameters (e.g., speed, position, direction), reducing the need for additional hardware. Each channel can be configured separately for different counting modes, adapting to diverse field device requirements.
Rugged Industrial Design: Built with a metal enclosure and conformal-coated PCBs, the GE IC697HSC700 resists dust, moisture, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it suitable for harsh environments like automotive plants or offshore platforms. Its wide temperature range eliminates the need for specialized cooling systems.
Seamless PLC Integration: As part of the 90-70 Series, the module connects directly to GE’s PLC backplane, enabling real-time data transfer to the CPU without additional communication gateways. This integration simplifies system design and enhances overall control system responsiveness.
Advanced Diagnostics: Front-panel LED indicators and built-in self-test functions provide real-time feedback on channel status, error conditions, and power supply stability. The module also logs diagnostic data for post-fault analysis, supporting proactive maintenance strategies.
