This single-slot module serves as the critical parallel interface that allows expansion from a main PLC rack to a maximum of seven additional IC697 expansion racks. Operating with high-speed parallel data transfer, the IC697BEM711 ensures seamless multi-rack communication over an inter-rack cable length of up to 50 feet (15 meters).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquipped with dual connectors for upstream CPU connection and daisy-chained rack configurations, the module must be installed strictly in slot 1 of each expansion rack. It features three diagnostic green LEDs that provide immediate visual confirmation of module status, rack activity, and the proper termination plug presence. Fully software-configurable via programming software, the IC697BEM711 supports advanced industrial control strategies including hold-last-state output behavior during communication faults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed parallel bus expansion interface for General Electric Series 90-70 systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports expansion up to seven additional PLC racks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports hold-last-state output functionality upon CPU communication loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in system fault isolation for rapid diagnostics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree status LED indicators for module health, rack activity, and bus terminator presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoftware-configurable with no hardwired DIP switches required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes mechanical keying to prevent incorrect slot insertion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge-scale industrial automation and discrete manufacturing lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMulti-rack PLC architecture expansion in processing plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLegacy General Electric Series 90-70 system upgrades and maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDistributed control rooms requiring reliable high-speed rack-to-rack data exchange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGeneral Electric\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCatalog Number \/ Model\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIC697BEM711\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct Platform\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSeries 90-70\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eModule Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBus Receiver Module\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCurrent Required from 5V Bus\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.8 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaximum Cable Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e50 feet (15 meters) total\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEffective Data Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e500 Kbytes\/sec\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eElectrical Isolation\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNon-isolated differential communication\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVME Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDesigned to support VME standard C.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSlot Requirement\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSingle slot (Slot 1 of expansion rack only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConnections \/ Interfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpansion Port In (Towards CPU):\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects upstream to a BTM (Bus Transmitter Module) or preceding BEM 711 module.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpansion Port Out (Away from CPU):\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects downstream to subsequent expansion racks;
