The GE Fanuc IC693BEM332 module is a Genius I/O bus interface module that can connect to remote field devices via Factory Instrumentation Protocol (FIP). The interface module has a transmission speed of 2.5 MHz and draws 5 volts DC power from the 90-30 Series PLC series backplane connection with a rated current of 300 mA. The GE Fanuc IC693BEM332 FIP I/O interface module acts as the primary controller module in industrial networks with factory instrumentation protocols and also acts as the primary communication gateway between field devices and programmable logic controllers. The front of the GE Fanuc IC693BEM332 FIP I/O interface module provides two D-type 9-pin serial connectors for supporting RS-482 and RS-422 serial communication protocols.
The GE Fanuc IC693BEM332 FIP I/O interface module can be configured using a handheld device or proprietary computer software sold separately. It is not intended to supply power to any field devices connected to its FIP serial bus, so it is the user's responsibility to use external power for these devices. Due to its open construction, the GE Fanuc IC693BEM332 FIP I/O interface module has a rather low IP rating, so it is also the user's responsibility to install the module in a location where it can operate without getting damp or being exposed to extreme temperatures. It is highly recommended to install the device in a closed panel to avoid the moisture and dirt common in industrial environments.
