function of the IC697BEM713?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The module expands Series 90-70 PLC capacity by connecting additional racks through Bus Receiver Modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can the IC697BEM713 replace a CPU module?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. The module only provides bus expansion functions and requires an existing IC697 CPU system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why does my PLC fail to detect expansion racks after installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Field experience shows missing termination resistors, incorrect cable wiring, and rack addressing errors are common causes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many expansion racks can one IC697BEM713 support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: One transmitter module supports up
