- 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.
