Overview Manuals Specifications Application Scenarios Compatibility Programming

Features:

  • Executes PLC control logic through a 25 MHz 80386EX processor with a typical Boolean scan rate of 0.22 ms per 1K of logic.
  • Supports extensive control references together with RAM and Flash storage, floating-point mathematics, more than 2,000 timers and counters, shift registers, overrides, and periodic subroutine interrupts.
  • Provides flexible system expansion and communications through eight-baseplate architecture and optional Ethernet, FIP, Profibus, GBC, GCM, and GCM+ connectivity.
GE IC693CPU350 serves as the central logic-processing component in a Series 90-30 PLC architecture where machine states, field signals, control sequences, and internal references must be processed within one controller. The single-slot format allows the CPU to occupy the main baseplate while additional expansion or remote baseplates increase system capacity. Industrial machines with numerous digital devices can make use of the large %I and %Q reference ranges. Analog process values can also be organized through dedicated %AI and %AQ memory areas. Such architecture gives engineers a structured platform for combining sequence control with process-related information.

IC693CPU350 also provides functions that extend beyond basic Boolean processing. Internal coils, temporary coils, global memory, registers, timers, counters, system status references, and shift registers can all participate in application logic. A battery-backed clock supports applications involving time-dependent operations or event records. Firmware-based floating-point capability enables mathematical operations when integer logic alone cannot satisfy application requirements. Periodic subroutines can be used when sections of logic need execution at defined intervals.

Communication options make GE IC693CPU350 applicable to automation installations where the PLC must exchange information with other controllers, network interfaces, or supervisory equipment. Multidrop LAN capability can be supplemented with Ethernet, FIP, Profibus, GBC, GCM, and GCM+ modules according to the system architecture. PCM and CCM compatibility provides additional integration possibilities for existing Series 90-30 installations. Flash storage also supports program and configuration management during maintenance or firmware servicing. Combined processing, memory, expansion, and communication capabilities make the CPU suitable for maintaining and extending established GE PLC control platforms.

The IC693CPU350 General Electric CPU Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
GE IC693CPU350 is a single-slot CPU module built around an 80386EX processor operating at 25 MHz. The module provides a typical execution rate of 0.22 milliseconds per 1K of Boolean logic, allowing control programs to be processed efficiently in industrial automation systems. IC693CPU350 operates from the PLC power supply and requires 670 mA from the +5 VDC supply. A system can contain up to eight baseplates, including one CPU baseplate and as many as seven expansion or remote baseplates. The specified ambient operating temperature range is 0°C to 60°C.

Program and operating information in GE IC693CPU350 can be maintained through RAM and Flash memory. Maximum user program memory is fixed at 32 KB and is not configurable. The memory architecture provides 9,999 words of %R register memory, 2,048 words of %AI analog input references, and 512 words of %AQ analog output references. IC693CPU350 also supports 28 system register words, more than 2,000 timers and counters, and shift register functions, giving control programs access to several forms of operational and process data.

For discrete control applications, IC693CPU350 supports up to 2,048 %I discrete input points and 2,048 %Q discrete output points. Additional internal control resources include 1,280 bits of %G discrete global memory, 4,096 %M internal coils, and 256 %T temporary output coils. System status information is organized across 128 bits represented by %S, %SA, %SB, and %SC references, with 32 bits assigned to each group. Override functionality and periodic subroutine interrupts further extend the CPU's control capabilities.

Communication flexibility allows GE IC693CPU350 to operate in systems requiring multidrop LAN connections and optional industrial networking modules. Supported communication options include Ethernet, FIP, Profibus, GBC, GCM, and GCM+ modules. PCM and CCM compatibility is also provided. A battery-backed clock maintains time-related information, while firmware release 9.0 and later adds firmware-based floating-point mathematics for applications requiring more advanced numerical calculations.

Firmware and configuration management form another important part of IC693CPU350 operation. CPU firmware resides in Flash memory, while program and configuration information can also be backed up and restored through Flash or PLC programming software. Firmware upgrades require serial downloading through a compatible computer connection, and GE documentation identifies the IC690ACC901 Mini Converter kit for RS-232/RS-485 communication. Later firmware revisions added capabilities including floating-point functions, the Sequential Event Recorder, break-free SNP operation, local logic program support, the Drum Sequencer function block, and automatic reboot options following fatal faults.
