The GE IC693CMM311 enhances the connectivity of your Series 90-30 PLC system. This dedicated communication coprocessor module provides two configurable serial ports for versatile device networking. Consequently, it offloads communication tasks from the main CPU, thereby improving overall system performance and responsiveness.
Core Communication Capabilities and Protocols
This module features two independent serial communication ports with flexible electrical standards. Port 1 operates as a standard RS-232 interface, while Port 2 supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 standards. Therefore, you can connect to a wide array of devices including HMIs, drives, bar code readers, and other PLCs. The module natively supports the SNP (Serial Network Protocol), Modbus RTU, and native CCM protocols.
