PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697BEM763 is an I/O interface module for the Series 90-70 PLC platform. It expands control architecture connectivity by supporting up to six remote or local racks. Each connected rack accommodates up to 256 I/O points across installed modules. In a complete hardware setup, the module coordinates up to 2000 total system I/O points.
The IC697BEM763 requires an operating current draw of 1.3 A from the backplane power supply. Standard operating temperatures range from 0 °C to 60 °C in industrial automation environments. Storage temperature tolerance spans from -40 °C to 85 °C during transport and warehousing. Operating relative humidity ratings cover 5% to 95% under non-condensing conditions up to 1000 meters altitude. The module weighs approximately 1.75 lbs or 0.79 kg.
