Product Overview
The GE Fanuc IC693BEM340 is a dedicated communication module designed to connect Series 90-30 PLC systems to a WorldFIP (Factory Instrumentation Protocol) network. It enables the controller to operate as a primary or secondary station on the FIP bus, supporting deterministic, high-speed data exchange with distributed field devices. By offloading network management from the main CPU, the module ensures stable real-time performance in complex industrial automation environments.

Designed for high electromagnetic interference (EMI) environments, maintaining stable communication even near heavy machinery and variable frequency drives.
Enhanced System Scalability
Supports multi-drop network configurations, allowing engineers to expand FIP networks without modifying core PLC logic.
FAQs
Does the IC693BEM340 require special configuration software?
Yes. Network setup is typically performed using GE Fanuc software such as Proficy Machine Edition with FIP configuration tools.
Can multiple FIP modules be used in one Series 90-30 rack?
Yes, provided the system has sufficient power and memory resources to support additional communication modules.
What type of cable is required for the FIP network?
Shielded twisted-pair cable compliant with WorldFIP industrial network standards is required to ensure signal integrity.
