PRODUCT OVERVIEW
IC693BEM331 serves as a communication and I/O control interface within Series 90-30 PLC installations where Genius bus connectivity is required. The module links PLC processing with Genius blocks, remote I/O racks, Field Control I/O stations, and other Genius bus participants, creating a practical architecture for distributed monitoring and control. IC693BEM331 can support applications where field signals are geographically distributed or where multiple I/O devices need coordinated communication with a central PLC. Genius bus operation also supports global data and datagram communications, giving IC693BEM331 a role beyond basic I/O scanning in larger automation architectures.

KEY FEATURE
Genius Bus Integration
IC693BEM331 provides a direct interface between a Series 90-30 PLC and a Genius I/O serial bus, allowing PLC systems to exchange control and I/O information with Genius field devices.
Multi-Device Data Handling
IC693BEM331 supports control data for up to 31 Genius bus devices, with up to 128 bytes of transmitted or received data for applicable data paths. Multiple GBC modules can also be installed in a compatible Series 90-30 PLC system.
Flexible Bus Communication
IC693BEM331 supports configurable Genius bus communication at 153.6 Kbaud standard, 153.6 Kbaud extended, 76.8 Kbaud, or 38.4 Kbaud. Bus operation can extend to 7,500 feet at 38.4 Kbaud, depending on cable selection and installation conditions.
Everything You Need to Know
What does IC693BEM331 do in a Series 90-30 PLC system?
IC693BEM331 connects a Series 90-30 PLC with a Genius I/O serial bus. The module manages data exchange between the PLC CPU and Genius bus devices, including input data, output data, global data, and communication functions.
How many Genius devices can IC693BEM331 communicate with?
IC693BEM331 can handle control data for up to 31 other devices on the Genius bus. Genius bus device types can include Genius I/O blocks, remote drops, Field Control I/O stations, and other compatible communication devices.
What amount of data can IC693BEM331 transmit?
IC693BEM331 can transmit up to 128 bytes of global data per GBC. Output data can reach up to 128 bytes transmitted to each of up to 31 other devices.
Why would IC693BEM331 be selected for distributed I/O control?
IC693BEM331 allows a Series 90-30 PLC to communicate with distributed Genius I/O devices rather than limiting I/O control to modules installed directly in the local PLC rack. Genius blocks, Series 90-70 remote drops, and Field Control I/O stations can participate on the bus.
