Product Description
The IC687BEM731 is a Genius Bus Controller manufactured by GE Automation and Controls and is compatible with Series 90-70 or PACSystems RX7i systems. The IC687BEM731 is capable of interfacing with up to 31 additional devices on a single Genius communications bus. This device occupies a single slot on a PLC backplane.
Through the Genius bus, the IC687BEM731 is compatible with several types of devices, including Genius I/O blocks, various other programmable logic controllers, Remote Drops for Series 90-70 systems, Versamax I/O stations, Field Control stations, and several other host devices requiring datagrams and Global data for communications.
Select features of this device include I/O diagnostics, support for redundant systems, datagrams and Global data transmissions, a connection port for a portable monitor, and a serial interface port. With the maximum number of devices connected to the Genius bus, communication channel rates are measured at 153.6 kbaud. The maximum bus length supported is 7500 feet; however, communication rates decrease as bus length increases. The following bus types are supported by the IC687BEM731: Daisy-chain, shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, Twinax cables, and possibly fiber optic cables.
The IC687BEM731 can be installed at any location on the Genius bus; however, performance is improved if the device placement matches the programmed device number. Device numbers for bus controllers are typically 31. To install this device, power down the rack, securely fasten the controller to the backplane, and attach the various bus connections.
To configure the IC687BEM731, use the Machine Edition Logic Developer 5.0 software with the second service pack or later. Note: Each device on the Genius bus must be programmed separately either by programming software or Write Configuration COMMREQS.

The IC687BEM731 Genius Bus Controller, like every VME module, is designed to occupy a single slot in any VME-based rack or any standard width backplane.
The GE Fanuc IC687BEM731 Genius Bus Controller’s standard features include built-in I/O device diagnostics, redundant application support, datagrams and global data communication (GBC) support, simplified configuration and control processes via a handheld monitor, and seamless configuration via a user program (Machine Edition Logic Developer service pack 5.0 or later). The IC687BEM731 Genius Bus Controller has 1.3 Amps of maximum backplane power requirements at a 5 Volts DC backplane supply. The IC687BEM731 Genius Bus Controller has configurable baud rates (153.6, 38.4, or 6.8 KiloBaud) over a maximum bus length of 7,500 feet. The IC687BEM731 Genius Bus Controller has a serial bus connector and a handheld monitor control on the front side, and directly above these connectors are 3 status and diagnostic LEDs that show the bus and module status.
Technical Information
|
Bus Type |
Daisy-chained bus cable; single twisted pair plus shield or Twinax. Fiber optics cable and modems can also be used |
|
Bus Termination |
75, 100, 120, or 150 ohm resistor at both ends of electrical bus cable. |
|
Data Encoding |
Each bit is encoded into three dipulses, majority-voted at the receiver to correct any single dipulse errors. A dipulse is an AC code consisting of a positive then negative excursion of voltage. Dipulses are individually sampled to reject low and high frequency interference. |
|
ModulationTechnique |
Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) 0 to 460.8 KHz max. (153.6 Kilobaud) |
|
Isolation |
2000 volts Hi-Pot, 1500 volts transient common mode rejection. |
|
Signal/noiseRatio |
60 db |
