Core Function and System Role
The GE IC693CPU311 serves as an integrated CPU and baseplate unit for PLC systems. This unit, originally from GE Fanuc, now belongs to the Emerson Automation portfolio. It combines a central processor, memory, and a five-slot backplane into one compact assembly. Consequently, it forms the foundational controller for small to medium-sized automation projects.
Processing Power and I/O Capacity
The embedded 80188 CPU operates at a clock speed of 10 MHz. Furthermore, it delivers a Boolean execution speed of 18 ms per 1K of ladder logic. This baseplate supports a significant I/O capacity for its class, handling up to 160 discrete points. It also manages 64 analog input words and 32 analog output words efficiently.
