NEW OLD STOCK! GE FANUC I/0 LINK INTERFACE IC693BEM320E

GE Fanuc I/O Link Interface Module IC693BEM320E

The GE Fanuc IC693BEM320E is an I/O Link Interface Module designed to facilitate high-speed serial communication between a Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a Fanuc I/O Link network. This module operates exclusively as a slave device, enabling the PLC to transmit either 32 or 64 I/O points to the I/O Link system.

Key Features

• Slave Configuration: Functions solely as a slave module within the I/O Link network.
• Flexible I/O Capacity: Configurable to handle 32 or 64 I/O points, selectable via an internal jumper setting.
• Dual Communication Ports: Equipped with two serial ports supporting RS-485 and RS-422 connections for versatile communication options.
• Status Indicators: Features two LED indicators labeled “OK” and “RDY” to provide real-time status updates.
• Universal Compatibility: Compatible with any Series 90-30 PLC model, allowing for multiple modules within a single system, subject to baseplate current limitations.

Applications

The IC693BEM320E is ideal for industrial automation systems requiring efficient and reliable communication between a Series 90-30 PLC and a Fanuc I/O Link network. Its high-speed data exchange capabilities make it suitable for distributed control applications, enhancing system responsiveness and performance.

Installation and Configuration

Installation involves inserting the module into an available slot on the Series 90-30 PLC backplane. Configuration is achieved by setting the internal jumper to select the desired I/O point capacity (32 or 64 points). It’s essential to ensure that the total current draw of all installed modules does not exceed the baseplate’s current limits.

By integrating the GE Fanuc IC693BEM320E into your automation setup, you can achieve seamless and efficient communication within your industrial control systems, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
