More Information

Overview Manuals Applications Communication Configuration Compatibility

Features:

  • Interfaces a Series 90-30 PLC to a 1.0 MHz FIP I/O network.
  • Provides two nine-pin bus connectors for simplex or redundant media.
  • Includes an RS-485 serial port for configuration and firmware loading.
The catalog number designates the 1.0 MHz Series 90-30 FIP Bus Controller rather than the separate Genius controller model.

It coordinates remote I/O data, network configuration and diagnostic reporting across the FIP fieldbus.

The installed CPU release, rack location, operating mode and network speed must satisfy the manual before the module is commissioned.

Availability is subject to Apter Power inventory and sourcing confirmation.
Verified resources for GE Fanuc IC693BEM340:Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • Connects Field Control I/O stations to a Series 90-30 controller over FIP.
  • Supports remote Series 90-30 I/O drops and compatible Series 90-70 PLC nodes.
  • Provides a redundant fieldbus path for control systems that use dual FIP media.
  • The controller operates on the documented 1.0 MHz FIP network used by IC693BEM340.
  • Two nine-pin D-sub bus connectors support one or two FIP media channels.
  • A front fifteen-pin RS-485 port is reserved for configuration and firmware-loading functions.
  • The module supports the manual-defined operating modes, including later mode 30 firmware capability.
  • Configuration can be entered with supported Series 90-30 programming tools or the FBCLOAD utility.
  • CPU and software revision requirements must be checked against the installed module firmware.
  • The module plugs into a Series 90-30 CPU or I/O rack, with the main rack preferred for performance.
  • Field Control stations, remote drops and supported FIP devices can share the connected network.
  • IC693BEM341 is the 2.5 MHz counterpart and must not be substituted on a 1.0 MHz network without redesign.
Description
GE Fanuc IC693BEM340 is the rack-mounted FIP Bus Controller for Series 90-30 PLC systems. It links the controller to Factory Instrumentation Protocol devices through two front-panel fieldbus connectors and an onboard RS-485 service port. Two nine-pin FIP connectors serve the network media, while the front fifteen-pin RS-485 service port is reserved for maintenance and firmware loading.

The module manages cyclic I/O exchange, configuration data and fault reporting for Field Control stations, remote I/O drops, compatible Series 90-70 nodes and generic FIP devices. Redundant media can be implemented by using both FIP channels. Six LEDs separate module health, run state and carrier/transmit activity for the two network channels, helping technicians localize media or controller faults.

Selection must not be confused with the IC693BEM331 Genius Bus Controller. Confirm the 1.0 MHz network, CPU firmware, configuration mode, software revision, rack slot and fieldbus connector wiring before installation. The controller is intended for supported Series 90-30 CPU and I/O racks, with operating modes determined by CPU and module firmware rather than hardware switches.

Technical notes
IC693BEM340 is a FIP controller, not a Genius module; power must be off before installation and the unused FIP connector requires its protective cap.
