GE Fanuc IC697BEM713 Bus Transmitter Module

Overview

The IC697BEM713 is a bus transmitter module from GE Fanuc’s Series 90-70, designed to expand the local bus in a PLC system. It allows for the integration of additional I/O and option modules, enabling seamless system expansion. This module supports up to seven bus receiver modules, IC697BEM711, and provides connections for programming and expansion. The IC697BEM713 is essential for systems requiring more than the base configuration provided by the CPU alone.

Key Features

• Expansion Support: Connects up to seven IC697BEM711 bus receiver modules.
• Interfaces: One parallel port for programming, one expansion port for system connection.
• Power Requirements: Draws 1.4 Amps at 5V DC.
• Program Storage Time: 20–30 seconds to store a 16Kbyte program.
• Rack Slot: Occupies any slot except Slot 1 (reserved for CPU).
• Maximum Cable Length: 50 feet for both programming and expansion interfaces.
