Product Role & System Fit
The IC687BEM731F-A from GE’s Series 90-70 lineup serves as an Ethernet communication module that enables PLCs to integrate seamlessly into high-speed industrial networks. Acting as a gateway between controllers and external devices, it allows data exchange across production cells, supervisory systems, and enterprise-level networks.
Engineers familiar with the Series 90-70 platform recognize how this Ethernet module transforms system capability. By providing reliable TCP/IP connectivity, the GE IC687BEM731F-A bridges traditional control hardware with modern SCADA and MES infrastructures. This makes it an essential component for plants seeking data transparency and remote access capabilities without sacrificing the rugged dependability of a proven PLC architecture.
In practical setups, the module connects the main processor to field I/O, HMI panels, engineering workstations, or even cloud gateways. It supports deterministic communication — meaning signals and control messages arrive on time, every time. Whether you’re synchronizing conveyor belts, updating production counts, or exchanging process data with an ERP system, the IC687BEM731F-A keeps data flowing accurately and efficiently.
One of the key benefits of the IC687BEM731F-A is its drop-in compatibility with existing Series 90-70 systems. There’s no need for control code reengineering — just add the module to the rack, configure IP settings through the programming software, and the PLC gains Ethernet capabilities instantly. It integrates effortlessly, maintaining the modular philosophy that GE Fanuc designed the 90-70 series around.
