The GE Fanuc IC693BEM334 Genius Bus controller is a solid state module used in the GE Fanuc series 90-30 or 90-70 programmable Logic controllers (PLCS) that provides a gateway for connection to the Genius I/O bus. It serves as the connection point and communication interface for Genius I/O hosts, sending and receiving discrete, analog, or dedicated signals to 90-30 or 90-70 series PLCS to control industrial machinery or application processes. Up to 31 GE Fanuc IC693BEM334 Genius Bus controllers can be connected to a single 90-30 or 90-70 series PLC, each forming an independent Genius Bus network or branch. The network or branch is able to communicate with the PLC, but not with other similar networks or branches.
The GE Fanuc IC693BEM334 Genius Bus controller supports multiple types of field devices, including 115 volt AC I/O blocks, DC I/O blocks, relay output blocks, RTD input blocks, and high-speed counter blocks. The input cables of the GE Fanuc IC693BEM334 Genius Bus controller are connected to a detachable terminal board secured to the front of the module. The user configuration of the module is done via a handheld display or HHM, which provides the human-machine interface for the machine language. Depending on the length of the Genius network, terminal resistors of 75, 100, 120, or 150 ohms may be required. An important consideration in installing the GE Fanuc IC693BEM334 Genius Bus controller is to place it in a temperature and humidity controlled environment to guarantee optimal system operation.
