GE IC687BEM731

Description

GE IC687BEM731 is a Genius bus controller manufactured by GE Automation and Control.The following is a detailed introduction to the product:

1.Product Overview

GE IC687BEM731 is a bus controller designed for industrial automation and is highly compatible with the 90-70 series or PACSystems RX7i system.It is capable of connecting up to 31 additional devices on a single Genius communication bus,providing powerful data communication and control functions.

2.Main Features

High performance:IC687BEM731 uses a high-performance processor to provide fast and reliable data processing capabilities,which can meet real-time control and monitoring needs.

Strong scalability:The bus controller supports multiple types of device connections,including Genius I/O modules,programmable logic controllers(PLCs),remote substations,etc.,which is convenient for users to flexibly expand according to actual needs.

Multiple communication interfaces:Supports multiple bus types such as daisy chain,shielded twisted pair(STP)cable,Twinax cable and fiber optic cable,as well as serial interface and handheld monitor connection ports,which facilitates data exchange and remote monitoring with other devices.

Built-in diagnostic function:Provides I/O diagnostic function,which can monitor and diagnose the operating status of the equipment in real time,and improve the reliability and stability of the system.

Supports redundant systems:Supports redundant applications to ensure that the system can quickly switch to the backup system when a failure occurs,ensuring the continuity of production.

III.Technical parameters

Backplane power requirements:Has a maximum backplane power requirement of 1.3 amps at a 5 volt DC backplane power supply.

Communication rate:With the maximum number of devices connected to the Genius bus,the communication channel rate is measured at 153.6kbaud.As the bus length increases,the communication rate decreases.

Maximum bus length:The maximum supported bus length is 7500 feet(about 2286 meters),but the communication rate decreases as the bus length increases.

Device number:The device number of the bus controller is usually 31.

IV.Application scenarios

The GE IC687BEM731 bus controller is widely used in various industrial automation control systems,such as mechanical equipment control,building automation,energy management,process control,etc.It is particularly suitable for small automation control systems that require high quality,reliability and scalability.

5.Installation and Configuration

Installation:When installing the IC687BEM731,you need to turn off the rack power,firmly fix the controller to the backplane,and then connect the various bus connections.

Configuration:The IC687BEM731 is configured using the Machine Edition Logic Developer 5.0 software(with the second service pack or higher).At the same time,each device on the Genius bus must be programmed individually through the programming software or by writing configuration COMMREQS.
