Description

GE IC697BEM713

Product Overview

The ​​GE IC697BEM713​​ is a critical bus extension module within GE Fanuc’s Series 90-70 PLC platform, designed to expand system scalability by connecting additional I/O racks to the main CPU rack. It enables bidirectional data transmission between the central controller and remote I/O units, enhancing the PLC’s capacity for complex automation tasks. With robust industrial-grade design, the ​​GE IC697BEM713​​ supports high-speed communication (500 KB/s) and seamless integration into existing GE 90-70 infrastructures, making it indispensable for distributed control systems requiring flexible I/O expansion .

Technical Specifications

Note: Conflicting input current specs (1A max in ) may refer to auxiliary power; primary function is bus extension.

Key Features and Advantages

​​High-Speed Data Transmission:​​
The ​​GE IC697BEM713​​ achieves 500 KB/s parallel data transfer, minimizing latency in critical applications like production line synchronization. Its dual-interface design (top for programming, bottom for bus expansion) simplifies system topology .

​​Robust Industrial Compatibility:​​
Supporting Modbus/TCP and Genius bus protocols, the module integrates seamlessly with GE’s Proficy Machine Edition (PME) software. Optical isolation ensures signal integrity in electromagnetically noisy environments (e.g., welding plants) .

​​Scalability and Ease of Installation:​​
With DIN-rail mounting and hot-swap capability, the ​​IC697BEM713​​ allows rapid expansion without halting operations. Its modular design reduces downtime during maintenance or upgrades .

Application Areas

​​Distributed Manufacturing Systems:​​
In automotive assembly lines, the ​​GE IC697BEM713​​ links robotic workstations to central controllers, enabling real-time coordination of welding arms and conveyor belts. Its tolerance for temperature fluctuations (0–60°C) suits unheated factory floors .

​​Energy and Infrastructure:​​
For substation monitoring, the module aggregates I/O data from remote sensors (e.g., grid voltage detectors), transmitting via Modbus/TCP to SCADA systems. IP20 protection ensures reliability in dusty electrical rooms .

​​Process Industries:​​
In chemical plants, it extends control to hazardous-area I/O racks (e.g., tank-level sensors), with bidirectional data flow enabling closed-loop valve adjustments .
