Product Overview
The IC693BEM320 is a slave-only I/O Link Interface Module for GE Fanuc Series 90‑30 and 90‑70 PLC systems. It enables high-speed serial communication between PLCs and up to 64 I/O points using GE Fanuc’s proprietary I/O LINK protocol. Designed for distributed control and CNC integration, this module ensures reliable data exchange in demanding industrial automation environments.
The IC693BEM320 supports flexible wiring through dual serial ports (RS-485 and RS-422), jumper-selectable I/O capacities (32 or 64 points), and robust diagnostics with LED indicators for quick status verification. Its compact design allows easy integration into standard Series 90‑30 PLC racks.
Functional Description
Configured strictly as a slave device, the IC693BEM320 allows a PLC to act as a remote I/O station for master controllers, transmitting I/O data to Fanuc CNC systems or Series 90‑70 PLCs. Multiple modules can be networked, supporting up to 16 slaves per master. Electrical isolation between the module bus and PLC backplane ensures signal integrity, while the module draws 5 VDC directly from the PLC backplane.
LED indicators provide visual feedback on module power and operational readiness. Configuration of I/O mode and capacity is achieved via internal jumper settings under the front cover.
