The GE IC697BEM711 is a Bus Expansion Module designed for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC system. It enables high-speed parallel communication between the main CPU rack and multiple expansion racks, allowing distributed I/O architectures in large-scale industrial automation systems. Manufactured by General Electric, this module plays a key role in extending PLC system capacity while maintaining stable and synchronized data transmission.
This module occupies a single slot in the CPU baseplate and supports daisy-chained connections to additional racks using two 25-pin D-shell connectors. With support for up to seven expansion racks and a total cable length of up to 50 feet (15 meters), it provides flexible system scalability for complex control applications.

High system scalability: supports up to 7 expansion racks, enabling large PLC system architectures
Fast data transfer: effective transfer rate up to 500 Kbytes/sec ensures responsive communication
Improved reliability: system fault isolation enhances stability in multi-rack environments
Simplified configuration: no DIP switches required, reducing setup complexity compared with older expansion modules
Operational continuity: hold last state function helps maintain process stability during communication loss
Clear status monitoring: LED indicators provide real-time diagnostics without external tools
Compared with similar products: offers easier configuration, better diagnostics, and higher scalability than basic bus expansion interfaces
Compared with similar bus expansion modules, the IC697BEM711 provides higher scalability, faster communication, improved diagnostic visibility, and simpler configuration, making it more suitable for large and distributed PLC systems.
The IC697BEM711 is fully compatible with GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC systems and is installed in the CPU baseplate, typically in slot 1, to manage communication with expansion racks. It integrates seamlessly with the PLC backplane architecture, enabling synchronized operation between the main processor and distributed I/O racks.
It interoperates with up to seven expansion racks connected via daisy-chain configuration using standard 25-pin D-shell connectors. It also supports the IC697ACC702 I/O bus terminator for stable signal integrity at the final rack, ensuring reliable communication across extended industrial automation systems.
