This Turbo CPU module combines a 10-slot base rack with an integrated high-speed processor. It provides a compact control solution for mid-range automation applications. The IC693CPU323 delivers enhanced execution speed for complex logic and math operations.
Core Processing Specifications
The module features an accelerated 32-bit processor with turbo execution capability. It executes Boolean instructions in just 0.2 microseconds per operation. Furthermore, the unit supports up to 512 local I/O points within its integrated 10-slot rack. The processor handles ladder logic, structured text, and function block programming languages. It also manages PID loops for closed-loop process control applications.
Rack Configuration and Power Supply
The base rack accommodates up to 10 Series 90-30 I/O modules in a single chassis. Each slot provides both power and communication connections to the backplane. Additionally, the IC693CPU323 includes a built-in 30 W power supply for all installed modules. This supply delivers 5 V DC at 6 A and 24 V DC at 0.5 A for field power. The rack also features four mounting holes for secure panel installation.
Memory Architecture and Program Storage
The CPU contains 12 KB of user program memory for application logic storage. It also includes 8 KB of register memory for data tables and variables. Furthermore, the IC693CPU323 offers non-volatile flash memory for program backup without a battery. A replaceable lithium battery maintains RAM data for up to 600 hours. This battery preserves critical process values during temporary power loss.
Connectivity and Diagnostic Features
The front panel provides a 15-pin D-sub connector for the RS-485 programming port. This port supports data rates up to 19.2 kbps for engineering access. Additionally, the IC693CPU323 includes a second RS-232 port for operator interface connection. A three-position key switch enables RUN, STOP, and REMOTE operating modes. Two LED indicators display CPU status and fault conditions clearly.
Mechanical Specifications and Environmental Ratings
The integrated assembly measures 38.0 x 18.5 x 8.5 centimeters and weighs approximately 3.2 kilograms. Its 10-slot rack design includes a metal chassis for electromagnetic shielding. The operating temperature range spans 0°C to +55°C with 90% non-condensing humidity tolerance. Moreover, the IC693CPU323 meets CE, UL, and CSA safety certifications.
