IC693CPU372 GE Fanuc 90-30 Processor Module

IC693CPU372 GE Fanuc Processor with Dual Ethernet

The IC693CPU372 represents a significant advancement in the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 product line. This module combines powerful processing with advanced networking capabilities. Its AMD SC520 processor runs at 133 MHz. Consequently, it achieves a typical scan rate of just 0.15 ms per 1K of Boolean logic. This speed makes it suitable for demanding control applications. Furthermore, the module supports hardware-based floating point math through a built-in co-processor. This feature enables complex calculations without slowing down logic execution.

Dual Ethernet for Flexible Networking

The most distinctive feature of the IC693CPU372 is its dual Ethernet ports. Both ports share the same IP address and function as an internal Ethernet switch. Therefore, you can create daisy-chain connections for efficient networking. This design also supports Device Level Ring (DLR) topology for redundant network paths. Each port supports auto-sensing for 10/100 Mbps speeds. As a result, you do not need to manually configure network speed settings. The Ethernet interface supports Industrial Ethernet and Modbus TCP/IP protocols. Additionally, it handles Ethernet Global Data (EGD), SRTP, and SRTP client functions.

Communication Protocols and Services

The GE Fanuc IC693CPU372 supports full PLC programming and configuration services. You can use it for periodic data exchange over Ethernet networks. The module supports up to three additional Series 90-30 Ethernet modules. This expands your system's communication capacity. A built-in web server allows remote configuration and monitoring. Consequently, you can perform simple setup tasks from any networked computer. The module supports both TCP/IP and Modbus TCP Server/Client protocols. This versatility ensures compatibility with various industrial systems.

Memory and I/O Capacity

The IC693CPU372 provides 240KB of user memory. This memory is battery-backed RAM. Additionally, you can add optional non-volatile Flash memory. Flash memory retains data without battery power. The module supports 2048 discrete inputs and 2048 discrete outputs. For analog signals, it handles up to 32,640 input words and 32,640 output words. Timers and counters exceed 2000. Shift registers are also supported. Furthermore, hardware floating point math ensures accurate calculations. This I/O capacity suits most medium to large-scale automation projects.

System Expansion Capabilities

The IC693CPU372 supports extensive system expansion. You can connect up to seven expansion baseplates. Additionally, it supports seven remote I/O baseplates. This capacity allows distributed control across large facilities. The module is compatible with VersaMax PLCs, PACSystems, and Series 90 controllers. This cross-platform compatibility provides flexibility in system design. The module occupies a single slot in a standard Series 90-30 baseplate.

Power Requirements and Environmental Specs

The IC693CPU372 requires 7.4 Watts at 5 Volts DC. This translates to approximately 1.48 Amps. Ensure your power supply can handle this load. The module includes a backup battery for memory retention. The operating temperature range is 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. Storage temperature ranges from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. These environmental ratings are typical for industrial automation equipment.

Programming and Configuration

You can program the IC693CPU372 using Proficy Machine Edition software. Specifically, use the PLC Logic Developer component within this suite. The module also supports configuration through its built-in web server. This provides flexibility for different user preferences. The module supports 32-bit system architecture. It includes LED status indicators for quick diagnostics. A Station Manager function connector is also provided.

Advanced Features

The IC693CPU372 includes several advanced features. Hardware floating point math enhances calculation speed. The internal Ethernet switch simplifies network cabling. DLR topology support improves network reliability. Auto-sensing ports eliminate manual configuration. The built-in web server enables remote access. These features make this module a versatile choice for modern automation.
