        Genius bus operation

        • Device capacity: The controller shares one bus with as many as 31 additional devices.
        • Baud selection: Available rates are 153.6 kbaud standard or extended, 76.8 kbaud, and 38.4 kbaud.
        • Cable reach: The 38.4 kbaud setting supports a bus length up to 7,500 ft.
        • Status: OK and COMM OK indicators separate module state from bus activity.

        Controller data exchange

        • Global data: The controller transmits 128 bytes and can receive 128 bytes from each device.
        • Input data: One bus device can supply up to 128 bytes of input data.
        • Output data: One bus device can receive up to 128 bytes of output data.
        • Memory areas: Mappings may use %G, %I, %Q, %AI, %AQ, and %R references.

        Bus wiring and integration

        • Media: Use supported shielded twisted-pair or Twinax cable.
        • Termination: Both physical ends require a resistor matching the 75, 100, 120, or 150-ohm cable impedance.
        • Compatibility boundary: A system using IC693BEM331 cannot also contain a Genius Communications Module.
        • Backplane load: The module draws less than 300 mA from the 5 VDC supply.

        Supported Genius projects

        • Distributed I/O: Genius I/O blocks can serve machine and process points along the multidrop cable.
        • Remote drops: Series 90-70 remote I/O drops can exchange data with the Series 90-30 controller.
        • Field Control: Field Control stations extend the bus to modular field I/O assemblies.
        • Multi-host networks: Hand-Held Monitors and eligible controllers can share maintenance and control information on the bus.

        Description
        IC693BEM331 is the Series 90-30 Genius Bus Controller that exchanges control and diagnostic data between the PLC CPU and a multidrop Genius network. One bus can include as many as 31 additional devices, including Genius I/O blocks, remote drops, Field Control stations, and other supported controllers.

        IC693BEM331 transfers up to 128 bytes of global data and supports %G, %I, %Q, %AI, %AQ, and %R memory assignments. Selectable bus rates of 153.6 kbaud standard or extended, 76.8 kbaud, and 38.4 kbaud allow the installation to balance cable distance and network capacity.

        For projects that use IC693BEM331, the controller uses shielded twisted-pair or Twinax cable with matching termination at both ends. Its OK and COMM OK indicators, controller status bits, and fault reporting support commissioning and bus troubleshooting without reducing the module to a simple I/O adapter.

        Technical notes
        IC693BEM331 cannot share a system with a Genius Communications Module. Preserve the bus address, baud rate, cable impedance, termination, device order, and configured memory assignments before replacement.
