GE IC697BEM741 Bus Controller Module

• Network Connection: As a FIP Bus Controller (FBC), it enables the IC697 PLC to connect to 1mbit FIP or World FIP fieldbus networks, realizing data communication and interaction between the PLC and other devices.
• Device Scanning: It can scan FIP I/O from IC693 FIP remote I/O scanners, FIP IC670 modules, and general FIP devices to obtain relevant input and output data.
• Data Transmission and Control: During the scanning process, it can independently search for connected remote devices, broadcast the output data of the PLC to the connected devices, receive diagnostic messages from field devices, and also allow field devices to transmit time-related messages, thereby realizing the monitoring and control of the entire system.

• Dual-channel Design: The 2-channel bus controller can handle multiple tasks simultaneously, improving the operating efficiency and data processing capability of the system.
• Easy Configuration: It can be configured through Logicmaster 90-70 or control programming software, facilitating users to set parameters and adjust functions according to actual needs.
• High Compatibility: It can work with various devices and modules, such as Series 90-70 and Series 90-30 PLCs, IC693 I/O racks, etc., and is suitable for industrial automation systems of different scales and complexities.
• LED Indicators: The front panel is equipped with 6 LED indicators, which can intuitively display information such as the working status and communication status of the module, making it convenient for users to troubleshoot faults and monitor the system.

• Power Supply Specifications: It supports 120/240VAC and 125VDC power input, and can adapt to different power supply environments.
• Bus Speed: It supports the 1mbit data transmission rate of the FIP bus, ensuring fast and stable data transmission.
• Number of Connectable Devices: A maximum of 31 various bus controllers can be included in an IC697 PLC system, among which the maximum number of FIP bus controllers is 4. Each IC697 BEM741 FIP bus controller can accommodate up to 128 field devices.

• Automobile Manufacturing: It is used for equipment control and monitoring in automobile production lines, such as robot operation, conveyor line control, coating equipment control, etc., to realize the automation and high efficiency of the production process.
• Power System: In power facilities such as power plants and substations, it is used to monitor and control the operating status of power equipment, such as generators, transformers, switchgear, etc., to ensure the stable operation of the power system.
• Petrochemical Industry: It is applied in processes such as oil extraction, oil refining, and chemical production to accurately control and monitor various production equipment and process flows, ensuring production safety and product quality.
• Food and Beverage: It is used for equipment control in links such as filling, packaging, and conveying in the food and beverage production process, realizing the automation of the production process and the control of hygiene standards.
