Key Features and Advantages

  1. Dual-Port Redundancy:
    The IC697ACC732 features two independent communication ports (coaxial and twisted-pair) with automatic failover capability, ensuring continuous network operation even if one port fails. This redundancy minimizes downtime risks in mission-critical applications .
  2. High-Speed Data Transfer:
    Supports 1 Mbps communication speed over the Genius Bus protocol, enabling rapid transmission of control commands and process data for time-sensitive industrial operations .
  3. Multi-Cable Compatibility:
    Works with both coaxial (RG-58) and twisted-pair (CAT5e) cabling, providing flexibility in network topology design and integration with existing infrastructure .
  4. Rugged Industrial Design:
    The IP20-rated enclosure protects against dust and accidental contact, while its wide temperature range (-25°C to +70°C) and vibration/shock resistance ensure reliable performance in harsh industrial environments .
  5. Plug-and-Play Integration:
    Requires minimal configuration, simplifying system expansion and maintenance. It seamlessly integrates with GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLCs and Genius I/O networks .
  6. Signal Integrity Optimization:
    Incorporates termination resistors (120 Ω ±10%) and bypass capacitors (100 nF ±10%) to eliminate signal reflections, ensuring accurate data transmission and reducing system errors .
