Product Overview
The GE Fanuc IC697BEM711 is a Bus Receiver Module (BRM) designed for the Series 90-70 PLC system. It enables high-speed parallel bus expansion, allowing the main rack to communicate with up to seven additional IC697 PLC racks over a total cable length of up to 50 feet (15 meters). This module is essential for systems requiring modular scalability and reliable communication across multiple racks.
Key Features
-
High-Speed Parallel Bus Expansion: Facilitates communication between the main rack and up to seven expansion racks.
-
Software Configuration: No DIP switches required; configuration is done via MS-DOS or Windows programming software.
-
Hold Last State: Supports holding the last state of output modules during faults or maintenance.
-
System Fault Isolation: Allows isolation of expansion racks for troubleshooting without affecting the main system.
-
LED Indicators: Three LEDs provide status information for module operation, termination, and bus expansion port.
-
Termination Plug: Requires a termination plug (IC697ACC702) in the last expansion rack to signal the end of the network.
