Communication Module GE Fanuc IC693PBM200

GE Fanuc IC693PBM200 Profibus DP Master Communication Module

The IC693PBM200 is a Profibus DP Master Module for the Series 90-30 PLC. Originally from GE Fanuc and now under Emerson Automation, this module connects the PLC to up to 125 Profibus DP slave devices. Each slave can send 244 Bytes input and receive 244 Bytes output. It features one RS232 service port for configuration and firmware updates.
