GE Fanuc IC697BEM713J - Genius Bus Transmitter Module
Overview
The GE Fanuc IC697BEM713 is a high-performance Bus Transmitter Module (BTM) designed for the Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform. Its primary function is to serve as an interface controller for extending the PLC's I/O capabilities over the robust and deterministic Genius I/O bus. This module enables the central CPU to communicate with remote I/O blocks, creating a distributed and scalable control system architecture.
It occupies a single slot in an IC697 PLC rack and acts as the master controller for one or more Genius I/O serial buses, managing data exchange with up to 31 remote I/O devices per bus.
Key Features
- Genius I/O Bus Control: Acts as the bus controller for the proprietary GE Genius I/O network, known for its high-speed and reliable communication.
- Distributed I/O Capability: Allows for the connection of remote I/O blocks up to 7,500 feet (2,286 meters) from the PLC rack, reducing wiring costs and complexity in large-scale applications.
- High-Speed Data Transfer: Supports multiple baud rates, including 153.6K (standard), 76.8K, and 38.4K, providing flexibility in network design.
- Advanced Diagnostics: Provides extensive on-board diagnostics for the module itself and the entire Genius Bus network. Faults such as device failures, shorts, or open wires are reported directly to the CPU for quick troubleshooting.
- CPU Offloading: Manages all I/O bus traffic independently, freeing up the main PLC CPU to focus on executing control logic, which enhances overall system performance.
- Easy Configuration: Configured using the Proficy Machine Edition software, allowing for straightforward setup of bus parameters and I/O devices.
