Product FAQ – IC697BEM731F
IC697BEM731F
Q1: What are the primary functions of the IC697BEM731F?
A: It provides Ethernet connectivity for the 90-70 series PLC racks, enabling data exchange with external systems via standard network protocols.
Q2: Can it replace a CPU module?
A: No-it is not a CPU. This module solely implements the interface connection between the CPU rack and Ethernet, does not execute control logic, and does not substitute for processor functions.
Q3: Which protocols does it support?
A: It typically supports the TCP/IP protocol and can be configured to support industrial protocols like Modbus TCP. The specific protocol stack supported depends on system configuration and engineering settings.
Q5: Can it be applied to modern automation networks?
A: Yes-By providing standard Ethernet connectivity, the 90-70 series PLCs can interface with contemporary HMIs, SCADA systems, and TCP/IP infrastructure.
