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.

- 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.
