Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC693BEM340 is a specialized FIP (Factory Instrumentation Protocol) Bus Controller Module engineered for Series 90-30 programmable logic controllers. Weighing 0.45 kg, this communication interface links the system's central PLC directly to an extended Series 90-30 I/O field network. In addition to transmitting data, the module serves as a centralized troubleshooting platform and provides non-volatile storage to safeguard configuration profiles for connected field instruments.

Core Technical Advantages

  • Standardized FIP Architecture: Implements the international Factory Instrumentation Protocol to cleanly standardize data formatting across diverse field instrumentation.
  • Comprehensive Port Layout: Outfitted with 2 dedicated serial ports for active FIP industrial network runs and an independent RS-485 serial gateway for software configuration.
  • Data Storage & Diagnostics: Offers secure internal storage areas to backup remote field device configuration data alongside 6 high-visibility diagnostic status LEDs.
  • Industrial-Grade Resilience: Maintained with an operating temperature window up to 55 °C and a 0.2-inch vibration displacement safety envelope for reliable operation in rugged environments.

Installation Guide

The IC693BEM340 must be installed in the same local rack as the main CPU assembly to draw from the matching system power source. Switch off all rack power inputs before seating the 0.45 kg card into the backplane. Calculate total rack loads to ensure the module's maximum 1.2 Amp current demand remains well within the power supply budget, and wire network drops into the front serial channels.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What kinds of field instruments can the IC693BEM340 connect to the PLC?
A1: The controller handles bidirectional I/O communications for a massive variety of devices, including heavy-duty limit switches, solenoid valves, motor starters, and pressure sensors.

Q2: How many IC693BEM340 FIP modules can be placed into a single PLC system?
A2: There is no strict hardware software cap; engineers can install as many concurrent modules as the rack's power supply unit can safely feed without overloading the current threshold.

Q3: What is the specific purpose of the third serial port on the front panel?
A3: While two serial connections are strictly reserved for managing active FIP network branches, the third dedicated RS-485 port is assigned exclusively for hardware setup and module configuration changes.
