IC693BEM330 FIP remote I/O scanner

IC693BEM330 FIP remote I/O scanner
The IC693BEM330 is a remote I/O scanner module that supports the Factory Instrument Protocol (FIP). The module belongs to the 90-30 series of Programmable Logic controllers (PLCS), formerly manufactured by GE Fanuc and now owned by Emerson Automation. It is mainly used to implement distributed I/O architecture, enabling users to communicate with I/O modules away from the host controller. The module supports FIP I/O protocol and supports 1 MHz data transfer rate. It comes with two (2) FIP channels provided by a 9-pin Type D housing female connector. It also has a synchronization connector for terminating the FIP synchronization cable. It required the use of the accompanying Molex connector, catalog number #39-01-4031. The module has LED status indicators, such as CD1 and CD2, that describe the carrier detection status on each channel. EN1 and EN2 are transmission indicators that indicate active data exchange on the communication port. IC693BEM330 Compatibility is not limited to 90-30 series PLCS, as it also supports 90-70 series platforms, field control stations via FIP bus interface units (BIUs), remote I/O points, and general-purpose devices such as general-purpose devices that support FIP communication protocols and third-party devices.

The IC693BEM330 can be used to control FIP I/O nesting, scan and maintain discrete I/O timing, map I/O data to FIP application variables, detect system failures and generate reports, maintain network configurations after power outages, provide flicker and pulse outputs, input filtering, and flutter detection. The module is configured using compatible DOS or Windows-based programming software or via a handheld programmer.

GE Fanuc IC693BEM330 Remote I/O scanner module in GE Series 90-30 PLC series system. This module provides a way to connect various GE Fanuc intelligent platform modules. The scanner module can only be plugged into slot 1 of any 90-30 series PLC and its function is to send and receive data connected to other modules of the Factory Instrument Protocol (FIP) communication network. Up to 19 I/O modules can be connected to the GE Fanuc IC693BEM330 Remote I/O scanner module using 2 substrates, each with 10 slots, which can be interconnected by using extension cords up to 50 feet (15.2 m).
