GE Fanuc Series 90-30 IC693CPU360 CPU Module

Description

The IC693CPU360 is a high-performance, single-slot Central Processing Unit (CPU) module for the GE Fanuc (now Emerson) Series 90-30 PLC system. Based on the 32-bit 80386EX microprocessor, it is designed for mid-to-high-end automation tasks requiring fast logic execution, extensive memory, and large I/O counts.

Specifications

• Part Number: IC693CPU360
• Processor: 80386EX running at 25 MHz.
  
• User Memory: 240 KB (Configurable user program memory).
  
• Scan Rate: 0.22 ms per 1K of Boolean logic.
  
• I/O Capacity: Supports up to 4,096 total discrete I/O points.
  
• Baseplate Support: Manages up to 8 baseplates (1 CPU baseplate + 7 expansion/remote baseplates).
  
• Register Memory (%R): Configurable up to 32,640 words (depending on firmware and software version).
  
• Analog I/O: Supports up to 2,048 %AI and 512 %AQ channels.
• Power Consumption: 670 mA from +5 VDC backplane.
  
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F).
  

Features

• Floating Point Math: Supports hardware-independent floating-point calculations for complex mathematical scaling and PID control.
  
• Battery-Backed RAM: Uses a lithium battery (typically located in the power supply module) to retain user programs and data during power loss.
• Communication: While it lacks a built-in Ethernet port, it features one serial port (via the power supply connector) supporting SNP/SNP-X protocols. It can be expanded with dedicated CMM (Communications Control) or Ethernet modules.+1
  
• Firmware Upgradability: Compatible with firmware version 10.60 and later, allowing for feature updates and improved memory management.
  
• Flexible Programming: Programmable via Proficy Machine Edition, VersaPro, or Logicmaster 90 software.
• Diagnostic LEDs: Front-panel indicators for OK, RUN, and I/O Force provide immediate visual feedback on the controller's health and operational status.
