GE Fanuc IC693BEM320 Solid State Serial I/O Interface Module

Description: The GE Fanuc IC693BEM320 I/O Link Module is a serial interface device.

It can connect up to 64 I/O points in a GE Fanuc 90-30 or 90-70 series programmable logic controller (PLC).

It has 2 serial ports and supports RS-485 and RS-422 connections.

GE Fanuc designs and manufactures a solid-state serial interface module called the IC693BEM320 Solid-State Serial I/O Interface Module.

The module is used to interconnect the proprietary GE Fanuc I/O Link networking protocol to a Series 90-30 or Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

The module can be configured to transfer 32 or 64 I/O points to GE Fanuc I/O Link.

The GE Fanuc IC693BEM320 I/O module can be configured to transfer 32 or 64 I/O points to GE Fanuc I/O Link, but only as a slave module, not as a master module.

Simply set the jumpers located inside the front cover to the correct mode, depending on the user's application.

The module has two serial communication ports, one for RS-485 serial protocol and the other for RS-422 serial protocol.

The GE Fanuc IC693BEM320 I/O Interface Module should always be operated within a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit).

Humidity range is 5 to 95% (non-condensing). If more extreme environmental conditions are expected, it is

It is strongly recommended that a climate control system be used on the panel where the GE Fanuc PLC and modules are installed.

Module installation should be done by a qualified technician by sliding the GE Fanuc IC693BEM320 I/O Interface Module into the

Slide the GE Fanuc IC693BEM320 I/O Interface Module into any available slot on the 90-30 or 90-70 series PLC backplane. There are two status LEDs on the front of the module.

One indicates if the module is properly powered on and the other indicates if the module is functioning properly.

Up to 16 GE Fanuc IC693BEM320 I/O Interface Modules can be set up as slaves to the master PLC.
