Description

GE IC697CMM731RR Redundant Broadband MAP Interface Module
High-Availability Communication for Factory Automation Networks

Product Overview

The GE IC697CMM731RR is a dual-channel redundant broadband Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP) interface module designed for GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC systems. Based on the non-redundant IC697CMM731, this module delivers mission-critical connectivity for industrial networks compliant with IEEE 802.4 broadband standards. Its redundant architecture ensures continuous operation in environments where communication 中断 could disrupt production, such as automotive assembly lines and process control systems.

 

Featuring two independent broadband MAP ports, the IC697CMM731RR supports simultaneous data transfer at up to 1 Mbps across three MAP channels (A, B, C). The module’s 16 MHz 80C186 microprocessor handles protocol processing for both channels, while soft-switch configuration via GE’s Proficy software eliminates physical jumpers. Built-in diagnostics include three status LEDs (Module OK, Port 1, Port 2) and a push-button reset for rapid troubleshooting. With hot-swappable design and wide temperature tolerance (-20°C to +60°C), the IC697CMM731RR excels in harsh industrial settings.

Key Features and Advantages

Dual Redundant Communication Paths: The IC697CMM731RR provides two independent broadband MAP channels, ensuring continuous data flow if one port fails. This is critical for applications like semiconductor wafer fabrication, where MAP-based robots and conveyors require seamless coordination.

 

MAP 3.0 Protocol Support: Native support for the Manufacturing Automation Protocol enables seamless integration with legacy GE and third-party devices in factory automation networks. The module’s firmware can be updated to support new MAP revisions without hardware changes .

 

Hot-Swap Capability: Field-replaceable design allows online module replacement, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) by up to 50% compared to non-redundant models. This feature is essential for 24/7 operations in industries like pharmaceuticals and food processing.

 

Hybrid Network Compatibility: While optimized for MAP 3.0, the IC697CMM731RR can be paired with Modbus TCP/IP converters to bridge legacy systems with modern SCADA platforms, extending the lifespan of existing investments.

 

Space-Efficient Design: Single-slot form factor fits seamlessly into Series 90-70 racks, optimizing cabinet space in control rooms or distributed control systems (DCS).

Application Areas

The GE IC697CMM731RR is ideal for high-reliability scenarios requiring broadband MAP connectivity:

 

  • Automotive Manufacturing: Coordinating robotic welding cells and conveyor systems across multiple MAP networks in assembly plants.
  • Process Control: Managing distributed control systems (DCS) in chemical plants, where redundant communication ensures precise regulation of reactors and pumps.
  • Aerospace: Controlling cleanroom environments in aircraft component manufacturing, where sterile conditions depend on synchronized HVAC systems.
  • Power Generation: Enabling redundant communication between turbine control systems and grid synchronization modules to maintain stable energy output.

 

Its compatibility with GE’s Genius I/O and GMR (Genius Modular Redundancy) systems makes the IC697CMM731RR a versatile choice for retrofitting aging infrastructure. For example, it can integrate legacy MAP-based sensors into modern redundant PLC systems without replacing existing software.
