FIP Fieldbus Controller - IC697BEM741-BE

Description

FIP Fieldbus Controller Model / Part No :- IC697BEM741-BE Label :- 44A735979-001R01 Class -I, Groups- ABCD, Div - 2 IC697BEM741 is an FIP Bus Controller (FBC) manufactured by GE Fanuc. This part permits the IC697 PLC to connect to a 1 Mbit FIP or WorldFIP Fieldbus network. It can scan FIP I/O from IC693 FIP Remote I/O Scanners, FIP IC670 modules, and generic FIP devices associated with the GE Fanuc 90-70 IC697BEM741. Highlights of the IC697BEM741 include a 2-channel bus controller that occupies a single slot in a standard or VME Integrator rack. The FBC is configured with Logicmaster 90-70 or control programming software configuration functionality. I/O devices on the FIP bus are scanned simultaneously by the bus controller, and I/O data is transferred to the CPU one time per scan. A maximum of 31 various bus controllers can be included in an IC697 PLC system. Of these, four can be FIP bus controllers. A FIP bus can serve remote drops (aka IC693 I/O racks which are interfaced to the bus through remote I/O scanner modules). Each remote drop may consist of any c of discrete and analog I/O modules; Field Control Stations, (aka Field Control I/O modules that are interfaced to the bus via a FIP Bus Interface Unit); and Generic Devices, including computers that are interfaced to the bus by a 3rd party FIP module. An FIP bus is mostly used for I/O control and can be utilized to store configuration data to remote devices and report faults.
