The IC693BEM341 is a Factory Instrumentation Protocol (FIP) compatible module that belongs to Emerson Automation's Series 90-30 Programmable Logic controller (PLC) family and was previously manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation. This module is an upgrade over the previous bus controller, as the IC693BEM341 has a data rate of 2.5 MHz. The IC693BEM341 is equipped with three (3) built-in communication interfaces, in particular two (2) 9-pin D-shell FIP bus connectors and one (1) RS485 communication interface for software upgrades via firmware modifications. The module is also equipped with six (6) LED status indicators, such as channel 1 module normal, operation, carrier detection; Carrier detection of channel 2; Indicates that channel 1 is Transmit Enable and channel 2 is Transmit Enabled. The FIB bus controller module is designed to connect with various devices such as 90-70 PLC series through the FIB bus to FIP bus interface. Field control station through the field control I/O module through the field bus interface unit (BIU); Remote I/O discarding via FIP Remote I/O scanner modules and generic devices using FIP interface modules. The IC693BEM341 requires version 90 or later of the 30-8.0 series CPU. For configuration, the module requires the use of a handheld programmer (HHP), Windows programming software IC641CTLxxx version 2.0 or later, or the FBCLOAD configuration utility to download the valid configuration to the module. Additional features of the module include the ability to display firmware versions, time stamps of up to 1024 Booleans, and mode 30, which includes redundancy, slave I/O device management, time stamps, message services, MIPS synchronous exchange, and external configuration reception.
The IC693BEM341 controller is a FIP bus controller designed and manufactured by GE Fanuc. This part belongs to the GE series 90-30. This particular controller model is an updated version of the old Bus controller, which includes different innovative features. When this model is compared to older models such as the GE 340 controller, they are functionally identical, with only increased network speed in the new IC693BEM341 model. The GE Fanuc IC693BEM341 FIP bus controller is a 2.5 MHZ version of the bus controller. It is also available with firmware version 3.01. This bus controller requires any IC693 PLC CPU version 8.10 or higher. Another configuration requirement for this fieldbus controller is that it requires a handheld programmer or HHP. This HHP has a programming software developed by Windows, which should be version 2.0 or later. The FBCLOAD configuration utility must be used to configure the controller so that it can function properly with the network. The GE Fanuc IC693BEM341 FIP Bus controller supports configuration mode 30. This mode is an extension of the previous bus controller version of Configuration Mode 11, which adds different features such as redundancy, management, and monitoring from devices including I/O nesting, drives, PLCS, and control stations.
