Description Reviews

The GE IC697BEM713, also cataloged as the IC697BEM713 Bus Transmitter Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for local backplane bus extension within Series 90-70 platforms. The single-slot interface module transmits high-speed logic and I/O data parallel lines from the primary processor chassis to peripheral racks, ensuring physical synchronization across multi-rack physical assemblies.

Industrial Control and Network Determinism

The IC697BEM713 enforces specific backplane bus communication velocity configurations to expand the control framework without degrading central transaction speed. By establishing dedicated multi-rack routing, the module maintains structured I/O density scaling profiles up to seven auxiliary racks while keeping logic propagation delays beneath sub-millisecond scanning thresholds. Firmware flash compatibility rules require full hardware initialization and downstream polling before the main status register allows the CPU to enter operational RUN status.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this expansion interface support unpowered hot-swapping or physical extraction during operation?

A: No. The IC697BEM713 does not support insertion or removal while the chassis is powered. The main rack power supply must be completely isolated prior to mounting or removing the module to prevent electrical transients from disrupting the VME parallel bus.

Q: What is the cause of the bottom status LED failing to illuminate during initial system boot?

A: The bottom LED tracks expansion bus health. If it remains off, it indicates a link continuity fault, an unpowered downstream rack, or a missing IC697ACC702 terminating resistor at the final physical expansion output port.

Field Installation Guidelines

Bus Termination Requirements: Install an IC697ACC702 terminating resistor directly onto the Expansion Port Out connector of the seventh or final physical Bus Receiver Module in the daisy chain to stabilize the differential signals.
Cable Selection and Routing Restrictions: Use approved low-skew expansion cables (IC600WD005A, IC600WD010A, IC600WD025A, or IC600WD050A). Route these parallel lines completely clear of high-voltage motor starters and AC distribution panels.
Chassis Alignment Constraints: Place the module in any available base rack slot except for Slot 1, which must be strictly reserved for the primary Series 90-70 Central Processing Unit.
