Description

Product Overview

The IC697BEM742 is a single-slot FIP (Factory Instrumentation Protocol) Bus Controller Module engineered by GE Fanuc for the Series 90-70 PLC platform. This advanced interface connects the central IC697 PLC VME integrator rack to FIP or WorldFIP I/O serial bus systems, managing remote Series 90-30 I/O nests and field control modules with deterministic accuracy.

Key Advantages

  • Redundant Bus Topology: Dual 9-pin FIP connectors transmit identical signals concurrently, providing robust, redundant failover safety.
  • Software Configuration: Complete digital setup via MS-DOS or Windows-based programming tools removes the need for manual jumpers or hardware DIP switches.
  • Advanced Communications: Delivers high-level TCP/IP stack mapping and generic asynchronous messaging capabilities alongside regular cyclic I/O sweeps.

Quick Installation Tips

  • Verify your IC697 PLC VME rack power supply can source the required 1.3 Amps load over the 5V DC backplane link.
  • Utilize the 15-pin serial port exclusively to attach a workstation or personal computer when executing firmware upgrades.
  • Ensure field network nodes are fully mapped within the MS-DOS or Windows utility software; the module does not utilize mechanical switches.

Technical FAQs

Q1: How does this module manage field tracking updates with the main CPU?

A1: The module scans I/O devices asynchronously along the FIP bus, buffering the input data, alarms, and faults to transmit them to the central CPU once per controller scan cycle.

Q2: What is the purpose of the manual push-button located on the front panel?

A2: Situated right beneath the 6 LED diagnostics line, the hardware push-button facilitates localized module testing, status cycling, and hardware fault resets.

Q3: Can the dual 9-pin ports be run on entirely separate distinct subnets?

A3: No. The internal signals routed to both 9-pin ports are fully identical, engineered strictly to support dual-cable media redundancy for mission-critical networks.
