More Information

Overview Manuals Bus Migration Redundancy Review Diagnostic Return Application
  • Series 90-70 controller interface for an installed Genius I/O bus
  • Front diagnostics and Hand-Held Monitor connection support bus servicing
  • Bus address, baud rate, termination and field wiring must be preserved

IC697BEM731 connects a Series 90-70 PLC rack to an installed Genius I/O bus and manages communication with the devices assigned to that bus.

Replacement selection must use the complete catalog number, hardware revision, rack assignment and Genius bus connection arrangement rather than the appearance of the front panel alone.

Before removal, record the bus configuration, identify incoming and outgoing wiring, confirm termination and retain the PLC hardware configuration for post-installation diagnostics.

Availability, condition, price, and shipping time for IC697BEM731 are confirmed during quotation.

  • Export the complete Genius device and reference map
  • Record controller address, baud rate and cable type
  • Photograph terminal polarity, shields and end termination
  • Identify single or dual bus topology
  • Confirm block and CPU redundancy dependencies
  • Prove the controlled switchover path after service
  • Compare active-device count with the baseline
  • Review bus scan time and PLC fault entries
  • Exercise global data and selected field I/O
  • Distributed Genius I/O control
  • Peer and global-data exchange on a Genius bus
  • Redundant Genius cable or CPU architectures
Description
IC697BEM731 controls one Genius I/O channel with as many as thirty drops. The module supports redundant blocks, dual bus paths and peer communications when the surrounding system is engineered for those modes.

Bus address, baud rate, cable type and termination are system-wide settings. A mismatch at one controller can prevent the entire channel from communicating.

Before replacement, record the device number, reference mapping, global-data configuration, cable impedance and the status of every bus device. Commission by comparing the live bus map and PLC fault table.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
What must match before GE IC697BEM731 is approved as a replacement?
Confirm hardware revision, firmware, device address, baud rate, slot, global-data layout, bus redundancy mode and the exact terminal and cable arrangement.
Why can a Genius channel fail after installing GE IC697BEM731 even when the LEDs look normal?
A mismatched baud rate, duplicate device address, incorrect termination, reversed Serial 1/Serial 2 conductors or broken shield path can block communications without obvious hardware damage.
How should bus termination be selected for GE IC697BEM731?
Use a resistor matching the installed cable impedance at both physical ends of the electrical bus. Do not choose 75, 100, 120 or 150 ohms by module preference.
Can GE IC697BEM731 be substituted with an earlier hardware revision?
Only after checking CPU, block and software compatibility. Later applications may require a minimum controller hardware or firmware level that an earlier spare does not meet.
What data should be archived before changing GE IC697BEM731?
Save the PLC project, bus device map, reference addresses, global-data definitions, datagram logic, fault table, device numbers and cable/termination drawings.
Does GE IC697BEM731 include the removable terminal assembly and terminator?
Do not assume so. Confirm the quotation and photographs for the terminal block, mating plug and end-of-bus resistor before scheduling the outage.
How should GE IC697BEM731 be tested after commissioning?
Verify every active device, bus scan time, global-data exchange, redundancy switchover if used, alarm-processor entries and controlled I/O operation before restoring automatic control.
