The IC697BEM763 module is an interface module manufactured by GE Fanuc. It is an industrial automation device used with GE series 90-70 PLCS and VME racks. It is a programmable controller device with a single slot module and provides an enhanced interface between the LAN and the PLC system. The module allows the DC300, AC2000 and DC2000 drives to be configured and controlled via a PLC application. The interface module is equipped with an 80C186 microprocessor with a clock speed of 12 Mhz. The IC697BEM763 module uses 3 status leds to handle different events. Module OK LED Displays the current operating status of the interface module. This LED indicator flashes during the diagnosis process. The other leds are "Command Out LED" and "Data In LED". The "Command Out LED" lights up during the self-test and blinks when the PLC sends the command to the network to go offline. When a Data message is received from the network, the "Data In LED" blinks.
GE Fanuc 90-70 Series IC697BEM763 modules are fully compliant with FCC and VME standards. The module operates in a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius with a non-condensing ambient relative humidity of 5 to 95 percent. The IC697BEM763 module comes with a restart button that will stop DLAN communication and perform internal tests on the module. The 8-pin DLAN network connector in the module provides connectivity from the DLAN module to the network. The IC697BEM763 module supports DLAN and DLAN+ network protocols. DLAN protocol is a multipoint serial protocol, while DLAN+ protocol is a high-speed protocol based on ARCnet network.
