GE IC697BEM713

The GE IC697BEM713 module is a key component in the GE Fanuc series of 90-70 controllers, which is mainly used to expand the I/O capacity of PLC systems. As a bus transmission module, it can connect multiple PLC racks, so as to achieve the control of larger scale I/O points.

Main function

System expansion: When the number of I/O points in a single PLC rack is insufficient, the system can be extended through the BTM module to connect more I/O modules.
High-performance parallel programming: The BTM module supports high-performance parallel p

rogramming functions, which improves the response speed and efficiency of the system.
Data transmission: Data transmission is carried out between each PLC rack to realize the sharing and exchange of system information.
Product parameters and specifications
Number of PLC racks supported: Multiple PLC racks can be connected, depending on the system configuration.
Communication interface: PLC frame is connected through high-speed serial communication interface.
Programming mode: Support high-performance parallel programming.
Installation mode: It is installed in the main CPU rack, usually next to the second slot of the CPU module.
Application field
Industrial automation: Widely used in various industrial automation systems, such as:
Factory automation
Process industry
Logistics automation
Process control: Used in process control systems that require a large number of I/O points.
Working principle
The BTM module communicates with the main CPU rack and extension rack via a high-speed serial communication interface for data transmission and control. It acts as a bridge, connecting multiple PLC racks together to form a unified control system.

Matters needing attention
Installation position: The BTM module is usually installed on the main CPU rack. For details, see the product documentation.
Wiring: Correctly connect the communication cables between the module and the PLC frame according to the product instructions.
Configuration: The corresponding configuration is required in the PLC programming software to use the BTM module correctly.
Maintenance: Periodically check the working status of the module to ensure reliable connection.
Sum up
GE IC697BEM713 module is an important extension module in GE Fanuc PLC system, which can realize the control of larger scale I/O points. It is widely used in the field of industrial automation.
