GE IC693364 Series 90-30 CPU Module

Description

How the Product Works & Fits into a System
The IC693364 serves as a single-slot processor module within the GE Series 90-30 PLC architecture. It executes control logic, coordinates I/O operations, and interfaces with embedded communications to connect with backplane devices and external networks. In practice, this CPU sits in a dedicated slot that shares backplane power, bus cycles, and peripheral interfaces with neighboring modules, enabling a compact, scalable control cabinet. It exposes serial or Ethernet connectivity for programming, monitoring, and non-volatile storage access, while leveraging floating-point capabilities if present in the specific revision. The module’s role is to deliver reliable computation and data handling for all control tasks running on the 90-30 system, from simple sequencing to more elaborate control loops, while preserving compatibility with existing software libraries and I/O mappings. The IC693364 is positioned to ease maintenance and future-proof expansion: technicians can swap in a higher-capability processor without rearchitecting the entire control stack, ensuring a smoother upgrade path within the GE Fanuc family.
