GE Fanuc IC698CMX016 Serial Communication Module

In stock

Product Overview:
The GE Fanuc IC698CMX016 is a dual-port serial communication module for the Series 90-70 PLC, providing 2 independent RS-232/RS-485 ports (COM1 and COM2). This module enables the 90-70 PLC to communicate with third-party devices such as variable frequency drives (VFDs), flow meters, barcode scanners, weighing scales, and RTUs. It is the standard communication interface for implementing Modbus RTUGE SRTP, and ASCII protocol connections in industrial automation networks.

Technical Specifications:
Series: GE Fanuc 90-70 Genius I/O
Number of Ports2 independent serial ports (COM1 + COM2)

Baud Rate300 to 115,200 bps (Software configurable)
Data Bits7 or 8 bits
Stop Bits1 or 2 bits
ParityNone, Even, or Odd
Supported ProtocolsModbus RTU (Master/Slave), GE SRTP, ASCII, DF1
Backplane BusVMEbus
Operating Temperature0°C to +60°C
Isolation Voltage: Port-to-backplane > 500V DC

Functional Features:
Dual Independent Ports: COM1 and COM2 operate simultaneously with different devices without mutual interference.
Master/Slave Switching: Each port can be independently configured as Modbus master or slave.
Full Modbus RTU Support: Built-in Modbus RTU protocol stack handles frame parsing without CPU involvement.
256-Byte FIFO Buffer: Each port has a 256-byte transmit/receive buffer to prevent data loss during burst traffic.
Timeout Detection: Automatic detection of communication timeout and frame errors.
Hot Swap Capable: Supports live insertion and removal when configured in the CPU program.

Performance Parameters:
Maximum Distance (RS-485)1,200 meters at 9,600 bps
Isolation Voltage> 500V DC
MTBF> 100,000 hours
