Description
The GE IC693CPU363 is a single-slot CPU module from the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 programmable logic controller family, designed for reliable industrial automation and control applications.
Key specifications and features include:
- Processor: 80386EX running at 25 MHz.
- Memory: 240 KB user memory, configurable for register (%R), analog inputs (%AI), and analog outputs (%AQ).
- I/O Points: Supports up to 2048 discrete inputs and 2048 discrete outputs.
- Boolean Execution Speed: Approximately 0.22 milliseconds per 1KB of logic.
- Communication Ports: Three ports total.
- Port 1 (power connector) supports SNP or SNPX slave.
- Ports 2 and 3 support SNP/SNPX master/slave and RTU slave protocols.
- Protocols Supported: SNP, SNPX, RTU; RTU master support requires additional modules (PCM).
- User Memory: Up to 240 KB, configurable per application needs.
- Operating Temperature: 0 to 60°C (32 to 140°F).
