Information About IC693BEM331
The IC693BEM331 belongs to the Series 90-30 family and acts as a communication bridge between the PLC and Genius I/O blocks, remote drops, and field control stations. It supports data transfers of up to 128 bytes per scan, allowing efficient communication with multiple devices across the bus network. The module does not log fault-table configuration errors like 90-70 controllers, instead relying on device status bits to verify proper configuration. Powered directly from the Series 90-30 backplane, it requires less than 300 mA at 5 VDC and includes status LEDs for quick diagnostics. The unit operates within 0–60 °C and is rated IP20, making it suitable for protected control cabinet environments. Typical applications include distributed I/O systems, field-mounted sensor networks, motor starters, solenoid control, and process instrumentation.
Key Features:
- Genius Network Connectivity: Supports up to 31 devices with 128-byte data exchange capacity.
- Distributed I/O Support: Compatible with Genius blocks, remote I/O drops, and field control stations.
- Fast Communication: Efficient, high-speed bus operation for both analog and discrete field devices.
- Built-In Diagnostics: Two status LEDs (“OK” and “COMM OK”) provide quick visual indication of module health.
- Backplane Powered: Draws <300 mA at 5 VDC from the Series 90-30 rack—no external power required.
- Versatile Integration: Works with 90-30 PLCs and supports interoperability with Series 90-70 remote modules.
- Rugged Industrial Design: Operates in 0–60 °C with 5–90% non-condensing humidity tolerance.
- Flexible Mounting: Installs in the Series 90-30 backplane or panel-mounted enclosures.
The IC693BEM331 provides dependable, high-bandwidth communication in distributed control architectures.
