GE IC693CPU350 Series 90-30 Processor Module

Overview

The GE IC693CPU350 is a high-performance processor module from the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 product line. This single-slot CPU module delivers efficient processing power, operating at 25 MHz with a typical scan rate of 0.22 ms per 1K of logic (Boolean contacts). As a reliable and scalable solution, the IC693CPU350 can control up to eight baseplates, including the local baseplate where the CPU is installed.

This module is ideal for medium to large-scale applications that require high-speed processing and versatile I/O support. Moreover, it integrates seamlessly with other GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLCs, providing a comprehensive automation solution.

Key Features

• Efficient Memory and Processing: The IC693CPU350 offers 32K bytes of user memory, which is sufficient for handling moderate to complex control tasks. It uses an 80386EX processor with a 25 MHz clock speed, delivering fast processing for Boolean logic.
• RS-485 Communication Interface: Instead of a dedicated communication port, this module relies on the RS-485 communication port embedded in the power supply. This connection supports seamless integration with devices such as programming workstations, Hand-Held Programmers (HHP), and other RS-485 compatible devices.
• I/O Flexibility: The module supports up to 2048 discrete inputs, 2048 discrete outputs, 2048 analog input words, and 512 analog output words. This extensive I/O capacity makes the IC693CPU350 ideal for medium to large applications with demanding control needs.
• Software Compatibility: For configuration and programming, the IC693CPU350 is compatible with various software platforms, including LogicMaster90, Control, VersaPro, and CIMPLICITY Machine Edition Logic Developer. Legacy Hand-Held Programmers (HHP) are also supported for program uploads.
