GE IC693372-AE CPU Module

Description

How the Product Works & Fits into a System
The IC693372-AE functions as a single-slot CPU module within the GE Series 90-30 architecture, coordinating logic execution, memory management, and communication with attached I/O modules. It slots into the backplane alongside discrete I/O, analog I/O, and expansion modules, sharing a common power and bus infrastructure to keep cabinet wiring compact and maintainable. The module typically communicates with the host controller or operator interfaces via established 90-30 backplane protocols and, where configured, through optional Ethernet or serial interfaces for remote diagnostics and programming. Its placement is strategic: near the I/O rack and sensors it manages, enabling low-latency control and straightforward maintenance. The IC693372-AE is designed to preserve compatibility with existing software constructs while offering the reliability and stability necessary for longer asset lifecycles in process control environments and manufacturing cells.
