MORE INFORMATION

Overview Manuals Technical notes System Security & Setup Functions

Features:

  • Thirty Drops per channe
  • IC66* (IC660 or IC661) I/O Diagnostics
  • Redundant blocks, cables and CPUs supported
  • Global Communications
  • Hand Held Monitor Port
  • IC66* LAN Communications
  • Soft configuration by CPU
  • Operation augmented by IC697 PLC Alarm Processor function
The IC66* Bus Controller (GBC/NBC) is available as asingle channel controller. It occupies a single IC66*PLC slot. The bus controller is configured by the MSDOS or Windows programming software configurator function. IC66* Input/Output blocks arescanned asynchronously by the bus controller and I/Odata is transferred to the CPU once per scan over thebackplane of the IC697 PLC rack.

The IC697BEM731 GE Bus Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
GE IC697BEM731 Bus Controller Manuals, Datasheets, Drivers, Link Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
The bus controller also supports directed communications initiated by a PLC CPU Communication ServiceRequest. In addition, it may be configured to performglobal communications.Faults reported by the bus controller are managed bythe PLC Alarm Processor Function which time stampsand queues faults in a table.For applications requiring peer to peer informationtransfer, the Bus Controller can serve as a communications node linking other devices (Bus Controllers,PCIMs, and other IC66* devices) via the IC66* bus.Such a network can provide communications between multiple PLCs and host computers.
Soft Configuration: The module is configured via MS-DOS or Windows-based software, which is then stored in the CPU. The CPU updates the module's configuration upon power-up, preventing unauthorized physical tampering with settings.
Bus Protection: Bus Terminator plugs (75 ohm or 150 ohm) are required for installation to ensure signal integrity and protect against communication errors on the Genius network.
