I/O modules

This single slot CPU module executes user logic for GE Series 90-30 PLC systems. It provides high-speed processing for demanding industrial automation applications. Therefore, this component suits complex control tasks in manufacturing and process industries.

Physical Dimensions and Weight Specifications

The GE IC693CPU352 occupies one standard slot in the Series 90-30 rack. Its housing measures 130 mm in depth for backplane connectivity. The module weighs approximately 0.38 kg for straightforward handling. Consequently, technicians can install this unit without additional rack reinforcement.

Interface Types and Connection Layout

The GE IC693CPU352 provides one RS-232 port for local programming access. A second RS-485 port supports connection to remote I/O stations. The front panel carries a built-in RS-422 port for operator interface communication. Hence, users can program and monitor this CPU with standard cables.

Component Count and Onboard Memory

This single slot CPU contains one main board with a 32-bit processor. The board holds 32 KB of battery-backed RAM for user programs. You will also find 32 KB of flash memory for non-volatile storage. An onboard real-time clock maintains timestamp data during power cycles.

Energy Storage and Power Consumption

The GE IC693CPU352 draws 250 mA from the 5V backplane supply. A lithium battery retains RAM data for 1,000 days without external power. This battery maintains user programs during prolonged facility shutdowns. Therefore, the CPU eliminates the need for frequent reprogramming after outages.

Processing Speed and I/O Capacity

The processor executes 0.45 microseconds per basic logic instruction. It handles up to 512 digital I/O points within a single scan. Users can store up to 1,280 function blocks in the RAM memory. This capacity supports mid-sized automation systems for production lines.
