GE IC697BEM733 Genius Remote I/O Scanner

Overview

The IC697BEM733 is a Genius Remote I/O Scanner for GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC systems. It connects the IC697 rack to a Genius I/O network, enabling remote control of distributed I/O modules. This module supports discrete and analog I/O, PCM, ADS, and expander modules. It ensures reliable performance for large-scale industrial automation systems. Its design allows easy installation into 5-slot or 9-slot IC697 racks. Users can control up to 32 devices per bus with extended communication distances. The module features multiple LED indicators for operational status.
