Backplane Bus Interfacing and Deterministic Networks

The IC697BEM733 transfers scan data across the Series 90-70 backplane while executing Genius bus protocol handling for the remote drop chassis. High backplane bus communication velocity allows local rack expansion modules to update CPU tables with deterministic timing profiles. Configurable baud rates (38.4 Kbaud to 153.6 Kbaud) adapt execution cycles to line lengths up to 7500 feet (2275 meters). Built-in firmware flash compatibility preserves system messaging integrity across CPU platforms, Handheld Monitors (IC660HHM501G), and PCIM/QBIM computer interface cards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the backplane current requirements for the IC697BEM733 module?

A: The module draws a typical operating current of 800 mA at 5 VDC from the backplane bus, with a maximum rating of 1.3 A.

Q: What physical cable types and termination values are specified for the IC66 serial bus?

A: The bus utilizes a daisy-chained single shielded twisted-pair or Twinax cable, terminated at both physical ends with 75, 100, 120, or 150 Ohm resistors matching the cable impedance.

Q: How many remote racks can be managed within a single drop station under the scanner?

A: A single remote drop can link up to 8 IC697 PLC racks (5-slot or 9-slot) interconnected via bus transmitter and bus receiver modules over a maximum rack-to-rack distance of 15 meters (50 feet).

Field Installation Guidelines

Shut off main rack supply power before inserting the IC697BEM733 module into the remote Series 90-70 baseplate slot.
Fasten an ESD grounding strap to an unpainted metal surface of the enclosure frame before handling the circuit board.
Align the card with the card guide rails and slide it fully into the backplane connector until properly seated.
Connect the IC66 bus signal wires to the terminal connector, ensuring proper polarity and landing shield drain wires at the designated ground terminal.
Install matching termination resistors (75 to 150 Ohms based on cable type) at both physical endpoints of the Genius bus network.
