Description

The GE IC693CPU352 is an advanced CPU module designed for the Series 90-30 PLC. It features a powerful 80386EX processor operating at 25 MHz with 240 Kbytes of user memory. This CPU module supports communication with up to seven I/O expansion baseplates and seven Remote I/O baseplates, maximizing its I/O capacity for large-scale control systems.

Equipped with three serial ports, the module allows flexible communication. The SNP LED indicator and P1/P2 LED indicators on the front panel provide clear status information. Ports 1 and 2 support RTU slave and SNP/SNPX master/slave communication, making the module ideal for serial communication in automation systems.

The floating point math feature, enabled by a built-in co-processor, enhances the controller’s ability to process fractional or decimal data. This is crucial for applications requiring precise data computation and accurate measurements. For example, Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems can benefit from more accurate data readouts, while internal PID controllers can implement precise control for industrial processes.

This module is fully compatible with LogixMaster 90-30, VersaPro, and Proficy Machine Edition software, providing seamless integration into your automation infrastructure.
