GE IC693BEM331 Genius Bus Controller

Overview
IC693BEM331 is a Genius Bus Controller (GBC) for GE Series 90-30 PLCs. It serves as the communication interface between the PLC and the Genius I/O serial bus. The bus controller can serve a variety of devices: Genius modules, providing interfaces for a variety of discrete, analog and special-purpose field devices. The controller can also manage up to 31 Genius devices, each supporting 128 bytes of input/output data, and can connect Genius I/O modules, remote substations, Field Control stations and multi-host systems.
🚀Function & Features
- IC693BEM331 can serve Genius modules, remote substations, field control I/O stations, Genius handheld monitors, and multiple hosts.
- The bus can be used for I/O control, enhanced by communication commands in the program, or it can be used entirely for I/O control, connecting many I/O devices without additional communication.
- IC693BEM331 can receive and transmit up to 128 bytes of control data for up to 31 devices on the Genius I/O bus.
- IC693BEM331 supports Genius I/O modules and standard Series 90 - 70 I/O modules. The number of I/O circuits that can be serviced on the bus is limited by the device type and CPU memory. For Genius I/O modules that have both inputs and outputs, their references in memory have specific rules, and unused references cannot be assigned arbitrarily.
