IC693CPU366 GE Fanuc Processor with Profibus Master
The IC693CPU366 distinguishes itself within the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 family through its integrated Profibus master capability. This feature allows the module to act as a central controller on Profibus networks. Consequently, it can send and receive data seamlessly from distributed devices. The processor core is an 80386EX microprocessor running at 25 MHz. Furthermore, it provides 240KB of register memory for your logic and data storage. The typical scan rate remains fast and reliable for most industrial applications.
Profibus Master Integration
The embedded Profibus master is the standout feature of the IC693CPU366. Connection to Profibus networks uses a 9-pin female RS-485 port. This interface supports multiple data rates for flexible network configuration. Specifically, it handles 9.6 kbps, 19.2 kbps, 500 kbps, 1.5 Mbps, 3 Mbps, 6 Mbps, and 12 Mbps. Therefore, you can adapt the communication speed to match your specific requirements. This Profibus master enables direct communication with remote I/O devices, drives, and other Profibus-compatible equipment. As a result, you can build a distributed control architecture without additional gateway modules.
Serial Communication and Programming
In addition to Profibus, the IC693CPU366 includes a serial RS-232 port. This port is accessible through a 9-pin male connector. You can use it primarily for firmware upgrades. Moreover, it serves as an alternative programming path. For software, the module works with Machine Edition Logic Developer PLC version 5.0 SP1 or later. If you prefer C programming, the PLC C toolkit version 4 or later is also compatible. This flexibility accommodates different developer preferences.
Memory and I/O Capacity
The GE Fanuc IC693CPU366 supports a total of 4096 discrete I/O points. This capacity suits medium to large-scale control systems. The module provides 240 kilobytes of register memory. Additionally, floating point math is supported through the firmware. This enables complex calculations for process control and data analysis. The memory configuration is optimized for efficient execution of user programs.
Power and Environmental Specifications
The IC693CPU366 draws 940 milliamps from the +5 VDC supply. Ensure your power supply can accommodate this load. The operating temperature range is 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. Storage temperature extends from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. Battery life is rated at 10 months at 25 degrees Celsius. At 60 degrees Celsius, it decreases to 5.5 months. Therefore, consider ambient temperature when planning maintenance schedules.
Installation and System Integration
Install the IC693CPU366 in Slot 1 of a modular CPU baseplate. This slot is specifically designed for CPU modules. The module consists of a CPU, memory, and associated integrated circuits mounted on a circuit board. This plug-in design simplifies installation and replacement. The modular CPU baseplate supports expansion and remote baseplates. Consequently, you can scale your system as needed.
Advanced Features
Floating point math support is a valuable feature for advanced applications. It enables precise calculations in process control, motion control, and data processing. The module also benefits from the robust 80386EX architecture. This microprocessor provides reliable performance in industrial environments. Furthermore, the integrated Profibus master reduces hardware costs and simplifies network design.
