IC697BEM733 is a Genius Remote I/O Scanner for the GE 90-70 Series that mounts in a remote IC697 rack and interfaces IC697 I/O modules to an IC66* bus. Features include a location distance of 7500 feet or 2275 meters from the controller. It supports both discrete and analog I/O modules as well as PCM, ADS, and analog expander modules. The IC697BEM733 can handle up to 128 input/output bytes per remote drop (comprised of a remote I/O scanner and the corresponding modules). A remote drop can include a maximum of eight racks, which are linked by a bus transmitter and a bus receiver. Racks with 9 or 5 slots are appropriate. The distance from the first rack to the last in a remote drop is no more than 50 feet or 15 meters.

The IC697BEM733 scanner can accommodate numerous combinations of discrete and analog inputs and outputs regardless of the number of racks in the drop. A remote drop can include all available IC697 discrete modules, analog modules, and analog expander modules. Bus Transmitter, Bus Receiver, PCM, and ADS modules can also be located in a remote drop. It is important to note, however, that a remote drop cannot have any I/O module interrupts, bus controllers, communications modules, or other modules dependent upon COMREQ instructions. The IC697BEM733 is designed for use in an IC697 PLC system, but any type of PLC or computer able to control an IC66* bus can function as host. Other possible hosts include IC660 PLCs, IC655 PLCs, and computers equipped with a PCIM, QBIM, or a third-party GENI-based interface.
