GE Fanuc IC697CMM731 Series 90-70 Broadband LAN Module
The GE Fanuc IC697CMM731, also cataloged as the IC697CMM731 Broadband LAN Communication Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for broadband LAN network interfacing within GE Series 90-70 PLC platforms. The module manages real-time network traffic across MAP 3.0 channels, transferring industrial data between Series 90-70 PLCs, supervisory computers, and human-machine interfaces. It interfaces directly with the backplane parallel bus to convert internal controller commands into broadband local area network frames without interrupting CPU scan timing.

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & Network Integration
The IC697CMM731 utilizes the high-speed Series 90-70 backplane bus to maintain deterministic data throughput between the main CPU and external broadband LAN networks. Internal microprocessor circuitry executes protocol stack handling locally, preserving high backplane bus communication velocity for local I/O processing while offloading MAP 3.0 frame generation. The module maintains strict firmware flash compatibility across legacy IC697 rack revisions, allowing high-density I/O configurations to transmit telemetry and control flags across broadband networks without causing backplane bus contention.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the IC697CMM731 interface with the main Series 90-70 CPU across the backplane?
A: The module plugs into any standard single slot of an IC697 rack and uses dual-port RAM across the Series 90-70 backplane bus to exchange MAP 3.0 network buffers directly with CPU memory without slowing down controller sweep time.
Q: What network protocols does the IC697CMM731 hardware execute?
A: The module executes the full Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP 3.0) stack over a broadband physical layer, enabling structured device-to-device messaging across distributed industrial networks.
Q: Is extra external power required to operate the IC697CMM731 communication board?
A: No, the module receives all required logic and interface power directly from the backplane bus, powered by the primary IC697 rack power supply unit (such as an IC697PWR711 or IC697PWR748).
Field Installation Guidelines
Insert the IC697CMM731 vertically into a designated slot within an IC697 Series 90-70 rack, ensuring full seating of backplane connectors before tightening the top and bottom retaining screws. Power off the rack prior to module insertion or removal to protect sensitive backplane communication transceivers from voltage spikes.
Route broadband coaxial interface cabling through dedicated, grounded metallic conduits separate from high-voltage AC motor wires and switching inductors. Ground cable shields at a single chassis ground point to prevent ground loops that induce high-frequency signal degradation on MAP 3.0 channels.
