IC697BEM711 Functional Description

The IC697BEM713 is a Series 90-70 Bus Transmitter module, crucial for system expansion by linking additional I/O and option modules to the local bus, where the Central Processing Unit (CPU) resides. This module enables up to seven Bus Receiver Modules (IC697BEM711) to be added, supporting the extension of the system's functionality. When setting up Local Bus expansions, the maximum distance between the IC697BEM713 Bus Transmitter module and the last IC697BEM711 should not exceed 50 feet. Furthermore, the last Bus Receiver Module must be fitted with a terminating resistor (IC697ACC702) to complete the daisy-chain network, ensuring reliable communication.

The IC697BEM713 Bus Transmitter module  includes one parallel port for programming and configuration, along with an expansion port that connects to the first Bus Receiver Module in the network. For proper setup, programming and configuration can be done using MS-DOS or Windows-based software. This module occupies a single chassis slot, excluding slot 1, which is reserved for the CPU. It draws 1.4A of current and can handle an effective data rate of 500 Kbytes/sec. The IC697BEM713 Bus Transmitter module has a program storage duration of 20-30 seconds for a 16KB program.

Designed to comply with ME standard C.1, the IC697BEM713 Bus Transmitter module works with various compatible expansion cables, including IC600WD005A, IC600WD010A, IC600WD025A, and IC600WD050A, which support different cable lengths ranging from 5 feet to 50 feet. Additionally, this module comes equipped with three LEDs to indicate system status, with specific lights showing power-up completion, expansion bus status, and PLC-programmer communication.

In summary, the IC697BEM713 Bus Transmitter module is a vital component for expanding a Series 90-70 PLC system, offering flexibility, compatibility, and reliable performance in large-scale automation setups.
