GE IC697BEM711N Bus Receiver Module (BRM), Series 90-70

Description

How the Product Works & Fits into a System
The IC697BEM711N functions as a bus receiver module within the GE 90-70 backplane ecosystem, located at the edge of the expansion network between the main rack and additional I/O racks. It interfaces with the CPU rack, handling the signaling and timing required to bring remote I/O onto the same deterministic bus used by the central controller. The BRM is designed to be installed in the first expansion slot and to manage communication with subsequent racks through a standardized, two-connector approach, along with status LEDs that indicate module health, rack activity, and termination presence. In operation, it ensures that the expansion chain maintains a coherent last-state behavior when communications are interrupted, preventing unintended outputs and facilitating safe maintenance. The module’s placement and wiring discipline support a clean, scalable architecture, enabling straightforward expansion of points, channels, and I/O types while preserving software and I/O map consistency with existing GE Fanuc systems.
