Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and Serial Interface Properties

The IC693BEM320 interfaces directly with the Series 90-30 backplane to exchange discrete input and output states with the central processing unit. Functioning strictly as a slave node, the module processes high-speed data transmission over dual RS-485/RS-422 serial links without imposing processing overhead on the master controller. Internal logic maps up to 64 discrete I/O points into the PLC memory table while maintaining firmware flash compatibility and deterministic data polling across the backplane bus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the IC693BEM320 be configured to act as a master node on the I/O Link network?

A: No. The IC693BEM320 operates exclusively as a slave device on the I/O Link network and requires an external master controller to initiate communication frames.

Q: How many discrete I/O points can be controlled through a single IC693BEM320 module?

A: The module supports software configuration for either 32 or 64 discrete I/O points allocated within the Series 90-30 CPU reference memory.

Q: What physical media interface is utilized by the module's communication ports?

A: The module provides two integrated serial ports configured for differential RS-485/RS-422 hardware signaling standards.

Field Installation Guidelines

Disconnect main system power from the Series 90-30 baseplate prior to inserting or removing the IC693BEM320 module to prevent backplane arcing.
Hook the bottom pivot tab of the IC693BEM320 into the desired baseplate slot and push the module firmly against the backplane connector until the top latch engages.
Wire the RS-485/RS-422 serial cables to the designated port terminals, ensuring correct polarity for differential signal lines (+ and -).
Ground cable shielding to the nearest chassis ground terminal using a short, low-impedance conductor to suppress high-frequency noise.
Apply power to the rack and verify module status via the CPU configuration software to confirm slave network address alignment.
