Description

The GE Fanuc IC693CPU341 is a single-slot central processing unit module designed for the Series 90-30 programmable logic controller platform. Driven by an 80C188XL processor operating at a clock speed of 20 MegaHertz, this module provides reliable execution of user logic configurations with a typical scan rate of 0.3 milliseconds per 1K of boolean logic. The architecture supports standard system memory structures alongside flexible volatile and non-volatile storage deployment options across multiple baseplate variants. Equipped with integrated communication path channeling through the power supply interface, it serves as a core processing hub tailored for standard machine automation, distributed assembly architecture, and high-speed process monitoring applications.

Features

  • Versatile Storage Implementation: Accommodates standard RAM memory architecture supplemented by option-specific EPROM or EEPROM configurations in historical models.
  • Enhanced Memory Safeguards: Provides transition support for volatile RAM backup alongside direct non-volatile storage utilizing specialized Flash memory structures from hardware iteration J and firmware version 4.61 onward.
  • Integrated Serial Connectivity: Features one built-in physical communication port utilizing the dedicated linkage channel residing directly on the standard PLC power supply framework.
  • Native Slave Protocols: Deliver operational support for standard SNP and SNP-X serial communication slave interactions right out of the box.
  • Extensive Option Capabilities: Interfaces directly with modular coprocessors including PCM and CMM assemblies to establish native RTU master/slave, CCM, and SNP/SNP-X master network control loops.
  • Advanced Logical Controls: Furnishes active run-time control mechanisms including real-time logical overrides, discrete software interrupts, and a fully battery-backed real-time system clock.

Applications

  • Multi-Baseplate Automation Layouts: Centralized coordination across expanded physical I/O control structures spanning up to five total baseplate sub-assemblies.
  • Industrial Network Communications: High-density data concentration and routing across multi-drop local area networks, open Ethernet loops, Profibus segments, and FIP bus installations using auxiliary option modules.
  • Discrete Manufacturing Controls: High-speed tracking and component execution across automated packaging lines, multi-tier conveyer paths, and localized machine tool cells.

Installation Guidelines

CRITICAL WARNING:

Isolate and disconnect all active input power sources routing to the main PLC baseplate assembly before inserting, extracting, or shifting any module component. Failure to completely de-energize the system power supply rack prior to hardware handling can initiate severe electrical arcing, disrupt internal register memory arrays, or cause permanent functional destruction of the CPU circuitry.

1
Baseplate Slot Selection and Alignment: Identify the unique, dedicated CPU slot on the primary Series 90-30 baseplate card (typically located immediately to the right of the rack power supply unit). Align the top and bottom structural guide ribs of the module plastic housing with the corresponding structural card tracks.
2
Mechanical Seating and Connector Engagement: Press the module firmly straight back into the slot location until the rear connector seating blocks snap securely into the backplane pin group. Ensure that the top and bottom mechanical retention levers actuate and lock flat into place.
3
Serial Communication Loop Verification: Secure the serial peripheral cable directly to the built-in communication port interface located on the power supply chassis. Ensure that the connection screws are fully snugged manually to establish a stable ground loop for SNP communication.
4
Initial Diagnostics and Boot Testing: Apply system power to the rack. Monitor the localized status indicators on the CPU faceplate to verify that the self-test sequence initializes successfully and enters a stable running mode without invoking the system fault contact.

FAQ

What is the difference in memory storage handling between various hardware versions of this module?

Early versions utilize RAM combined with optional EPROM or EEPROM configurations. From hardware version revision J and firmware release 4.61 onward, the architecture shifts to support only volatile RAM and optional non-volatile Flash memory configurations.

How are the native communications expanded beyond standard slave protocols?

The module natively supports SNP/SNP-X slave protocols via the power supply port. To run as an SNP/SNP-X master, or to obtain CCM or RTU slave communication, a dedicated CMM option module must be added; RTU master operation requires an auxiliary PCM option module.

What are the specific tracking constraints of the system status reference allocation?

The system allocates 128 total bits for status monitoring, which are divided into four separate blocks named %S, %SA, %SB, and %SC, with each individual block containing exactly 32 bits.

Can user-defined logical rungs read or modify values inside the %SR registry table?

No, the 16 words designated as System Registers are reserved for system-level reference table viewing parameters only and cannot be queried or targeted inside a user logic program.
