Remanufactured GE-Emerson IC697BEM763 DLAN Drive Interface Module

The GE-Emerson IC697BEM763 HDLAN Drive Interface Module provides automation between series 90-70 PLC systems and GE Drive Systems DLAN / DLAN+ LAN protocols. The module allows drives such as AC2000, DC300, and DC2000 to be controlled from Series 90-70 programs. The GE Drive system only communicates using DLAN or DLAN+ local area network protocols.

The module operates either as a DLAN or DLAN+ controller. In a situation where the application requires both DLAN and DLAN+ devices, two DLAN Interface modules must be used. In a single-rack system, the module resides in the same rack as the PLC processor. In a multi-rack system, the module can reside either in the CPU rack or the expansion racks.

During installation, the CPU power supply unit and the module must reside in designated slots within each rack. The CPU module must reside in slot 1 of rack 0. When the DLAN Drive Interface Module system includes a BTM, it can be allocated in any slot as long as it is not on the right side of an empty slot. If the PLC system has more than one rack, the module must be located in slot 1 of each expansion slot. 

The module can be placed in any unused slot in the appropriate rack. However, all of the slots between the module and the PLC CPU must be occupied, otherwise the module cannot communicate across the backplane to the PLC CPU.
