Brand New IC697CBL803 GE BTM/RCM Cable Original Stock

GE IC697CBL803 Series 90-70 BTM/RCM Cable

The GE IC697CBL803, also cataloged as the IC697CBL803 BTM/RCM Cable, operates as a terminated I/O communication cable for linking Bus Transmitter Module to Redundancy Communications Module at the end of a Series 90-70 expansion bus.

Hardware Specifications

Terminated I/O Bus Function

Unit weight is approximately 0.45 kg with a cable length of 3 feet (0.9 meters). The IC697CBL803 carries I/O communication signals between remote and local racks in Series 90-70 redundant systems. Built-in termination resistor allows replacement of the RCM without interrupting the running system. Connects the last Bus Receiver to the Redundancy Communications Module at the end of the parallel I/O bus link. Supports a maximum of six expansion racks. Not for general PLC programming connections.

Field Installation Guidelines

Install the terminated cable at the end of the parallel I/O bus link. Connect from the last Bus Receiver Module to the Redundancy Communications Module. The built-in termination allows hot replacement of the RCM. Verify the cable is used only for remote I/O bus connections, not programming. Confirm the RCM is positioned at the end of the expansion bus before connecting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the purpose of the built-in termination in IC697CBL803?
A: The terminated cable allows replacement of the RCM without interrupting the running system, especially when expansion racks are included.

Q: Can IC697CBL803 be used for PLC programming connections?
A: No. It is designed specifically for remote I/O bus connections at the end of a Series 90-70 expansion bus.

Q: Where is IC697CBL803 connected in the system?
A: It connects from the last Bus Receiver Module to the Redundancy Communications Module at the end of the parallel I/O bus link.
