Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the PLC rack power is disconnected before installing or removing the module to prevent electrical damage.
- Slide the module into an available slot in the Series 90-30 backplane and secure it using the integrated mounting hardware.
- Use a properly shielded 9-pin D-sub cable for the Interbus-S connection to minimize EMI interference.
- Maintain adequate spacing in the enclosure to ensure proper airflow and ventilation, keeping the ambient temperature within the specified 0-60 degC range.
- Verify that the backplane power supply is stable and within the 24 V dc requirement before powering up the system.
FAQ
What is the primary function of the HE693IBS100?
This module acts as an Interbus-S slave device, allowing your GE 90-30 PLC to communicate as a slave node on an existing Interbus-S fieldbus network.
Can I change the baud rate on this module?
No, the baud rate for the HE693IBS100 is fixed at 500 kbit/s.
What kind of environmental protection does this module provide?
The unit features 1500 V ac isolation, which helps protect the PLC backplane from electrical noise and potential surges originating from the fieldbus network.
