GE Fanuc IC687BEM744 FIP Bus Controller
The GE Fanuc IC687BEM744 is a half-slot FIP (Factory Instrumentation Protocol) bus controller module designed for GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC systems. Operating on a 2.5 MHz WorldFIP network, it provides high-speed communication and data exchange between the central PLC rack and up to 128 distributed field devices.
Network Architecture and Interface
The module incorporates two FIP bus channels accessible via two 9-pin fieldbus connectors, enabling redundant bus network configurations. For local maintenance and configuration, it includes an RS-485 serial communication port with a 15-pin connector. Operational status and network diagnostics are provided by six front-panel LEDs alongside a dedicated hardware restart pushbutton.
