The GE Fanuc Emerson IC687BEM713 is a bus transmitter module within the Rx7i PACsystem series. Functionally, it facilitates FIP bus expansion and redundancy, demanding the integration of two redundant system modules for optimal performance. It occupies a half-slot space, specifically designed for a single VME format.
This module operates on a bus voltage rated at 5 V DC, drawing a current of 1.4 A. In terms of programming, it employs a parallel port interface, achieving a data transfer rate of 500 kBytes/s. For program storage, the module performs with a 16 KB program store time ranging from 20 to 30 seconds, making it efficient for handling operations.
Connectivity is supported through RS-485 and RS-232 ports, integrating easily with various devices. It supports a maximum of seven expansion racks in total, thus enhancing the system's capability. The expansion data rate also matches the programmer data rate at 500 kBytes/s, and the system is limited to an expansion cable length of 50 ft (15 m). Furthermore, the isolation for expansion is classified as non-isolated differential, indicating the type of signal transmission and its resilience to noise. Overall, the IC687BEM713 module is integral to creating robust and flexible communication networks in automation systems.
