GE Fanuc IC697BEM731M Genius Bus Controller The GE Fanuc IC697BEM731 is a high-performance Genius Bus Controller (GBC) module designed for the Series 90-70 PLC platform. It functions as the master controller for a Genius I/O serial bus, enabling robust communication and control over distributed I/O devices. This module is engineered for demanding industrial environments requiring reliable, deterministic I/O scanning and diagnostics. Key Features & Specifications Module Type: Genius Bus Controller (GBC) Platform: GE Fanuc Series 90-70 Bus Protocol: Genius I/O Function: Acts as the bus master, controlling all communication and I/O scanning on the Genius bus. Device Support: Manages up to 31 Genius I/O devices (slaves) on a single bus network. Communication Rate: Standard 153.6 Kbaud. Also supports extended distance mode at 76.8 Kbaud. Diagnostics: Comprehensive onboard diagnostics reported to the CPU, with front-panel LEDs for Bus Status (BUS OK), Module Status (MOD OK), and Serial Port Activity (I/O ENBL). Configuration: Configured using GE's programming software (such as Proficy Machine Edition). All bus parameters and I/O device configurations are stored in the PLC's CPU. Form Factor: Single-slot VME-style module for the IC697 PLC rack. Connector: Standard 15-pin D-sub female connector for the Genius bus cable connection. Technical Details The IC697BEM731 offloads I/O scanning from the main PLC processor, providing deterministic updates and freeing up the CPU for logic execution. It cyclically polls each configured device (I/O blocks, remote drops, other PLCs) on the bus, exchanging discrete and analog I/O data. The module supports global data broadcasts and provides advanced fault reporting, allowing for quick identification of network or device issues. Power Consumption: 1.2 Amps at +5 VDC from the PLC backplane. Bus Length: Up to 7,500 feet (2,286 meters) at 153.6 Kbaud. Up to 11,000 feet (3,353 meters) at 76.8 Kbaud (extended mode). Data Exchange: Manages I/O data transfer between the bus devices and the PLC's %I, %Q, %AI, and %AQ memory tables. Applications This module is the ideal solution for integrating distributed I/O systems in complex automation environments. It is commonly used in applications requiring a robust and intelligent I/O network to connect remote panels, operator stations, and device-level blocks back to a central Series 90-70 controller. Connecting multiple remote I/O racks. Integrating smart devices like motor starters and drives. Building distributed control systems across a large plant floor. Upgrading or maintaining existing GE Fanuc control systems utilizing the Genius I/O protocol.

GE Fanuc IC697BEM711C Bus Expansion Receiver The IC697BEM711 is a Bus Expansion Receiver module for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC platform. Its function is to logically extend the PLC's backplane, enabling a remote or expansion rack to function as an integral part of the main system. It operates as one half of a transmitter/receiver pair to create a single, contiguous backplane across multiple chassis. Core Functionality System Expansion: Allows a Series 90-70 PLC system to be expanded beyond a single rack. The CPU in the main rack can seamlessly address modules in the expansion rack as if they were local. Receiver Role: Acts as the dedicated receiver in the expansion link. It must be paired with a corresponding Bus Expansion Transmitter module (e.g., IC697BEM701) located in the main PLC rack. High-Speed Parallel Link: Extends the VME backplane's high-speed parallel bus over a dedicated bus expansion cable, ensuring minimal latency between racks. Transparent Operation: The bus extension is transparent to the CPU and other modules in the system. No special programming or communication logic is required to access modules in the expansion rack. Technical Specifications Module Type: Bus Expansion Receiver Platform: GE Fanuc Series 90-70 Backplane Requirement: Installs in any VME standard IC697 chassis. Power Consumption: 1.5 Amps @ +5 VDC Bus Cable Interface: Multi-pin D-sub connector for the bus expansion cable. LED Status Indicators: Front-panel LEDs provide status for Module OK and Bus Active, allowing for visual diagnosis of the expansion link's integrity. System Architecture and Use Case The IC697BEM711 is exclusively used in multi-rack Series 90-70 configurations where the total number of required modules exceeds the capacity of a single rack. A typical system consists of: A Main Rack containing the CPU and a Bus Expansion Transmitter module. A dedicated Bus Expansion Cable connecting the two modules. An Expansion Rack containing the IC697BEM711 Receiver module, a power supply, and additional I/O or option modules. This configuration creates a larger logical system, essential for complex automation tasks requiring a high density of I/O or special-purpose modules.
