Mechanical Data

‑ Weight：approx 0.34 kg ‑ Dimension：Series‑90‑30 standard single‑slot module form‑factor ‑ Handling note：ESD‑sensitive communication circuit, anti‑static wrist‑strap mandatory during handling; strictly comply with DeviceNet cabling specification

Main Functions

1. Acts as DeviceNet network master for Series‑90‑30 PLC, manages bus scheduling, realizes bidirectional data exchange between PLC and field‑side DeviceNet slave devices.
2. Supports multiple I/O connection modes and explicit message, completes real‑time acquisition and control for remote I/O, frequency converters, servo drives, field sensors and valve islands.
3. Rich network diagnosis function: slave offline alarm, bus error statistics, communication fault status, upload fault information to PLC CPU.
4. RS‑232 service port supports module firmware upgrade and local debugging without DeviceNet network.
5. LED status indication on front panel:   ‑ Green OK：Module power‑on and self‑test pass   ‑ NET：DeviceNet network link status indicator   ‑ I/O：Bus I/O data activity indicator   ‑ FAULT：Module / network / slave fault alarm

Installation & Wiring Requirements

1. Cut off Series‑90‑30 PLC rack power and DeviceNet external bus power before replacement. Hot‑swap is forbidden. Strict anti‑static protection when handling module.
2. Insert IC693DNM200‑BC fully into PLC backplane slot and lock latch.
3. DeviceNet field wiring strictly follow ODVA DeviceNet specification and GE hardware manual; use certified DeviceNet shielded cable; install 121Ω terminating resistor at both physical ends of trunk cable; separate bus cable from high‑power cables, connect shielding to protective ground terminal.
4. Complete protective grounding according to GE system specification.
5. After replacement：power‑on PLC and DeviceNet bus power; verify OK / NET / FAULT LED status; download DeviceNet hardware configuration; perform network scan, slave identification and full I/O communication test.
6. Replacement note: Verify CPU firmware compatibility; BC revision fixes partial known bugs of AB version; confirm baud‑rate match and terminating resistor installation; full DeviceNet network commissioning test mandatory before unit put‑into‑service.
