IC693CPU364 GE Fanuc Processor Module with Ethernet

The IC693CPU364 represents a significant upgrade within the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 product line. This controller stands out because it includes an embedded Ethernet interface. Many other CPU modules in this series lack this feature. Consequently, the IC693CPU364 offers seamless network integration for modern industrial environments. Its 80386EX microprocessor runs at 25 MHz. Furthermore, it delivers a typical scan rate of 0.22 ms per 1K of Boolean logic. This speed ensures responsive and precise control for demanding applications.

Embedded Ethernet for Modern Connectivity

The most notable feature of this module is its built-in Ethernet port. Specifically, it supports both AAUI and 10BaseT interfaces. This integrated Ethernet allows direct connection to plant-wide networks. Therefore, you can program, monitor, and troubleshoot the IC693CPU364 remotely. Additionally, this Ethernet port enables data exchange with SCADA systems, HMIs, and other networked devices. For programming, you can use LogicMaster90, VersaPro, Control, or CIMPLICITY Machine Edition Logic Developer through this Ethernet connection.

Additional Communication Options

Besides Ethernet, the IC693CPU364 provides other communication methods. It includes a serial port accessible through the power supply module. This RS485 port is located on the leftmost slot of the baseplate. You can find it behind the swing door of the power supply. This serial port serves as a backup communication path. For instance, you can use it with a hand-held programmer or a PC running legacy software. Having both Ethernet and serial options gives you flexibility in system design.

Memory Capacity and I/O Support

The GE Fanuc IC693CPU364 offers 240KB of user memory. This memory is configurable based on your %R, %AI, and %AQ register settings. Specifically, it supports up to 2048 discrete inputs and 2048 discrete outputs. The module also provides 1280 bits of internal discrete global memory. Moreover, it includes 4096 internal coils and 256 bits of temporary output coils. For analog I/O, you can configure inputs and outputs in 128-word increments. With Logicmaster software, the range extends from 128 to 16,384 words. Using Control version 2.2, it expands further to 32,640 words.

System Expansion Capabilities

The IC693CPU364 controls up to eight baseplates. This includes one local baseplate where the CPU resides. Additionally, it supports seven remote or expansion baseplates. This capacity allows you to build extensive distributed I/O systems. A 25-pin D-type expansion connector on the right side of the CPU baseplate facilitates this connection. Consequently, you can locate I/O modules far from the processor. This flexibility simplifies cabinet layout and reduces wiring costs.

Installation and Power Requirements

Installing the IC693CPU364 requires attention to slot positioning. You must install it in slot 1 of a modular CPU baseplate. This slot is specifically designed for CPU modules. Modular CPU baseplates support both expansion and remote baseplates. The module draws 1.51 Amps from the +5 VDC power supply. Therefore, ensure your power supply can handle this load. The operating temperature range is 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. Storage temperature ranges from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius.

Advanced Features and Firmware Support

Starting with firmware Release 9.0, the IC693CPU364 supports floating point math. This capability enables more sophisticated calculations. Additionally, the module includes Flash memory for storing CPU firmware. This allows easy firmware updates. The module also supports the periodic subroutine feature. This ensures time-critical tasks execute at precise intervals.
