The IC697CMM742 is an Ethernet communication interface module that is compatible with Emerson Automation's Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) family, formerly manufactured by GE Fanuc. The module supports Ethernet connectivity, allowing the host processor to perform data exchange over Ethernet. The module has a variety of communication interfaces, such as one (1) site manager (RS-232) serial port; One (1) software load (RS-485) serial port; One (1) AUI network port; One (1) 10BaseT network port and one (1) 10Base2 network port. It also comes with a restart function for re-initializing module communication. The IC697CMM742 provides connectivity by supporting various communication protocols, such as data exchange using configuration-based and logic-based Ethernet Global Data (EGD), and TCP/IP communication services using SRTP. The module also supports downloading and uploading of user programs, troubleshooting of user programs and hardware. The module can also be used to communicate with Human machine interface (HMI) and supervisory Control and Data acquisition (SCADA) networks. The IC697CMM742 is equipped with LED status indicators that can be used for local monitoring and troubleshooting of the module in the event of an error. These LED indicators include module normal, LAN online, serial activity and normal status. When powering an external AUI transceiver, the backplane current consumption of this communication module is 2.0A@5 VDC) and 0.5 Amps@12 VDC. In addition, the module operates at 0 C to +55C (32F to 131F). The module also comes with a replaceable 1.0A fuse for module protection in the AUI transceiver port.
The GE Fanuc IC697CMM742 interface is an Ethernet interface device manufactured for GE series 90-70 PLC systems. The Ethernet interface with 3 network ports can be used to connect its host PLC, Ethernet LAN. The three ports are AUI network port, 10BaseT network port and 10Base2 network port. The AUI network port is a standard network port with 15 pins that can be connected to different devices with transceivers. The IC697CMM742 Ethernet interface comes with pre-installed firmware, which makes the interface easy to install. The firmware itself is easy to upgrade through a PC, which can be connected to the interface through the RS-485 serial port. There is a button on the interface that can be used to restart it. The GE Fanuc 90-70 Series IC697CMM742 Ethernet interface is designed to provide TCP/IP communication for its host PLC systems. It is installed in the PLC system hosting it by plugging into a slot in the PLC CPU rack and then configuring the IC641 PLC programming software. Up to four Ethernet interfaces, such as the IC697CMM742 Ethernet interface, can be installed in the same PLC CPU rack. An interface can only use 1 of its 3 network ports at a time, and it will automatically choose which network port to use at a given time. The IC697CMM742 Ethernet interface has four leds for interface status updates, including MODULE OK, LED, LAN ONLINE, LED, Serial activity, LED, and Status LED.
