Chapter 1 Introduction
System Overview
The Series 90–70 I/O Link Interface Module (IC697BEM721) is used to interface a Series
90–70 PLC to GE Fanuc and Fanuc products which may also be placed on the
proprietary Fanuc I/O Link. The Fanuc I/O Link is a serial interface that provides
high–speed exchange of I/O data between a master device and up to 16 slaves.

Up to four I/O Link Interface Modules can be installed in a Series 90–70 PLC. They can
be located in the CPU rack and in expansion racks. Each I/O Link Interface Module can
be used in either master or slave mode.
Two I/O Link Interface Modules are shown in the example system illustrated
above––one in the CPU rack and the other in an expansion rack. Each module is set up
as a master with its own I/O Link. In this example, both of the I/O Link Interface
Modules exchange data with Power Mate CNCs. Usually, when there are multiple I/O
Link Modules in the same PLC, they are on separate I/O Links as shown here. However,
it is possible to have more than one I/O Link Interface Module in the Series 90–70
connected to the same link, if that suits the needs of the application.
