GE IC693CPU331X Central Processing Unit

High-Performance Logic Controller for Series 90-30

The GE IC693CPU331X executes ladder logic and Boolean instructions efficiently. This CPU module supports up to 16k bytes of user program memory. It also manages 2k bytes of register memory for data storage. Consequently, you can control medium-sized automation tasks without external expansion.

Technical Architecture and Capabilities

This processor includes one built-in RS-232 programming port. The GE IC693CPU331X also features a second RS-485 port for general-purpose communications. Users get 1024 discrete inputs plus 1024 discrete outputs. Additionally, the module handles 128 analog inputs and 128 analog outputs. This I/O capacity suits packaging lines or material handling systems.

The unit stores no battery-backed energy for program retention. Instead, it uses EEPROM technology to preserve the user logic. Therefore, you do not need scheduled battery replacements. The GE IC693CPU331X weighs exactly 0.41 kg. Its dimensions measure 140 mm in height by 32 mm in width by 127 mm in depth.

Scan Performance and Expansion Features

This CPU completes a typical 1k logic scan in 1.4 milliseconds. Consequently, it responds quickly to field inputs. The GE IC693CPU331X supports up to 8 additional modules in a single rack. You can also add remote I/O drops for larger systems. The processor includes three diagnostic LEDs for power, run, and fault status.

Environmental and Compliance Data

Furthermore, this unit operates reliably from 0°C to 60°C ambient temperature. It withstands 5% to 95% relative humidity without condensation. The GE IC693CPU331X meets UL 508 and CE standards for industrial control equipment. Therefore, it suits factory floors or machine control cabinets.
