MeloAuto-Trusted PLC & DCS Parts Supplier
The GE IC693CMM321-CC connects Series 90-30 PLCs to Ethernet networks. You can install this module directly into any standard 90-30 rack slot. It enables high-speed data exchange with HMIs, SCADA systems, and other PLCs. This unit supports factory-wide automation and remote monitoring applications.
Technical Specifications and Hardware Layout
This Ethernet interface module measures 127 mm in height. Its width reaches 55 mm, and the depth equals 140 mm. The GE IC693CMM321-CC weighs approximately 0.36 kilograms. A single internal PCB holds all communication and processing circuits. The module contains no energy storage capacitors or batteries. One RJ45 port provides the 10Base-T or 100Base-TX Ethernet connection. A 48-pin edge connector interfaces directly with the 90-30 backplane. Three status LEDs indicate power, link activity, and data traffic.

Communication Performance and Capabilities
The GE IC693CMM321-CC supports auto-negotiating 10 or 100 Mbit/s speeds. It handles up to 16 simultaneous client connections for data access. This module uses SRTP for programming and HMI communication. Consequently, you can program the PLC remotely over the plant network. The module also supports Modbus TCP for third-party device integration. Ethernet Global Data allows peer-to-peer exchange between up to 64 PLCs. A built-in web server provides diagnostic pages for easy troubleshooting.
Installation and Configuration Guidelines
You must insert this module into any standard 90-30 rack slot. Transitioning to configuration, assign an IP address using the PLC programming software. The module supports both DHCP and static IP addressing methods. Three front LEDs show power, link status, and Ethernet activity clearly. Use shielded Category 5e or higher cables for reliable communication. The operating temperature range spans from 0°C to 60°C reliably.
