The IC693BEM340 FIP Bus controller module was designed and manufactured by GE Fanuc as an interface between the 90-30 series I/O network and the system's central PLC. It is designed to be installed in the same rack as the programmable logic controller and can also be powered by the same power source. The use of the GE Fanuc IC693BEM340 FIP bus controller module can not only communicate the I/O network with the system's central PLC, but also provide a secure storage space for the configuration data of field devices and can be used as a centralized troubleshooting platform. There are 6 leds near the top of the front of the module, 2 serial ports for FIP (Factory Instrumentation Protocol) network connection, and an additional RS-485 serial port for configuration.
The IC693BEM340 module's support for FIP networks is important because Factory Instrumentation Protocol is an international communication system that attempts to standardize electronic industrial networking systems. It allows the exchange of I/O data between the PLC and a large number of field devices such as limit switches, solenoid valves, motor starters, and pressure sensors. The GE Fanuc IC693BEM340 FIP Bus controller module is the core part of any automatic control platform that uses the FIP network, where the 90-30 PLC series serves as the main processing hardware for industrial applications such as motion control, product packaging and bulk handling machinery. The GE Fanuc IC693BEM340 FIP bus controller module has a maximum current consumption of 1.2 amps and can operate in a temperature range of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius (32 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit).
