GE IC697CMM742 modular

The GE Fanuc IC697CMM742 TCP/IP Ethernet (Type 2) Interface Module is an Ethernet interface module that is designed for the GE Series 90-30 PLC systems. The IC697CMM742 Module is designed for the high-performance IC697 PLC CPUs that are versions 6.00 and later. The IC697CMM742 TCP/IP Ethernet (Type 2) Interface Module is installed on the GE Series 90-70 PLC rack, and it requires +5 Volts DC and +12 Volts DC voltage from the PLC power for operation. It also draws 2 Amps of maximum backplane current at +5 Volts DC and 0.5 Amps of currents at +12 Volts DC. The IC697CMM742 Module supports the IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control Class I LAN and the IEEE 802.3 media (CSMA/CD Medium Access Control 10Mbps) LAN, which is capable of operating directly on the 10BaseT and 10Base2 media via the 10BaseT and 10Base2 network ports on the module.

The IC697CMM742 Module has 3 network ports (a 10Base-T RJ-45 port, a 10Base2 BNC port, and the AUI port) that help to establish communication between the IC967 PLCs and Ethernet Local Access Network (LAN). The 15-pin RJ-45 network port and AUI port offers a choice of a 10BaseT, 10Base5, 10BaseF, 10Broad36, or 10Base2 medium with a user-supplied 802.3 LAN-compatible transceiver. The IC697CMM742 Module also has an RJ-11 Serial RS-232 local station manager port and a 15-Pin D-Type RS-485 software port. The 6-pin RJ-11 Serial RS-232 port is used for connecting a single terminal or a terminal emulator to access the station manager software over the Ethernet/IP network, while the 15-Pin D-type Serial software load port is used for connecting a PC running on the Logic Developer or VersaPro programming software to the module for a firmware update. The IC697CMM742 Module has 4 diagnostics and network LEDs which are the “MODULE OK,” “STATUS OK,” “SERIAL ACTIVE,” and “LAN ONLINE” LEDs that shows the module’s operation and network status updates.
