PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697BEM713 is a Series 90-70 bus transmitter module. This unit installs in a local chassis with the central processing unit. It allows expansion to up to seven IC697BEM711 bus receiver modules across additional racks. The module provides communication between the main rack and remote expansion chassis.
The IC697BEM713 operates from a 5 VDC system backplane voltage while drawing 1.4 A current. It features one top parallel programmer port and one bottom expansion port. The data transfer rate reaches 500 kilobytes per second across a maximum distance of 50 feet. Three front-panel green LEDs provide direct visual operational status for diagnostic checks.
