Information About IC693BEM340
The IC693BEM340 FIP Bus Controller Module enables GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLCs to communicate over FIP fieldbus networks. It connects to field control stations, 90-30 remote I/O racks, FIP BIU modules, distributed I/O nests, drives, and even generic computing devices equipped with FIP interfaces. The module supports redundant bus configurations through its dual 9-pin connectors, ensuring high availability and fault-tolerant communication. A 15-pin serial port allows configuration and firmware upgrades, while six front-panel LEDs provide real-time status and diagnostics of bus activity. Designed as a backplane-mounted module, it integrates directly into Series 90-30 racks, enabling synchronous exchanges, time-stamp management, and advanced messaging services across the FIP network.
Key Features:
- Full FIP Bus Controller Functionality: Provides deterministic fieldbus communication between Series 90-30 PLCs and distributed remote devices such as I/O nests, drives, and control stations.
- Dual 9-Pin FIP Connectors: Supports one or two FIP busses, enabling redundant network topologies for increased reliability and fault tolerance in critical applications.
- Advanced Device Management: Offers new Mode 30 capabilities such as slave device supervision, monitoring, time-stamping of Boolean values, and messaging services for intelligent network control.
- Six Front-Panel Diagnostic LEDs: Displays communication status, operational health, and network activity to simplify troubleshooting and system monitoring.
- RS-422 Communication Interface: Ensures robust, noise-resistant data transmission ideal for industrial environments requiring stable and long-distance fieldbus communication.
- Comprehensive Remote I/O Support: Interfaces with remote Series 90-30 racks, BIU modules, and field control stations, enabling wide system distribution and flexible architecture.
- Firmware Upgrade & Configuration Port: A 15-pin serial port allows direct connection for module configuration and firmware updates, ensuring long-term maintainability.
- Backplane-Mounted Integration: Installs directly into the 90-30 PLC rack, providing immediate backplane communication without additional gateways or interface hardware.
The IC693BEM340 delivers the reliability and precision required for managing FIP fieldbus communication across distributed GE Fanuc Series 90-30 automation systems.
