Features:
- Embedded Ethernet interface within the Series 90-30 CPU
- PLC control and network communication share one baseplate slot
- BG and later hardware is identified with firmware release 11.10
IC693CPU374 brings Ethernet connectivity directly into the central controller of a modular Series 90-30 system.
Eliminating a separate Ethernet option module preserves a slot for I/O or another application module.
CPU and network settings are managed together when commissioning or replacing the controller.
The General Electric IC693CPU374 Series 90-30 CPU with embedded Ethernet may remain available for quotation and installed-system support from Apter Power.

Integrated Ethernet operation
- Embedded interface: Ethernet hardware is incorporated in the CPU rather than installed as a separate rack module.
- Host access: The controller can exchange application information with compatible Ethernet hosts and programming tools.
- Address setup: The installed project must carry the intended network identity and communication parameters.
- Slot economy: Network connectivity does not consume an additional Series 90-30 I/O position.
CPU and project relationship
- Controller role: The module executes the stored Series 90-30 program and manages configured I/O.
- Modular system: It operates in the Series 90-30 baseplate architecture with compatible local and expansion hardware.
- Version boundary: The BG hardware release is applicable with CPU firmware 11.10.
- Migration check: A replacement project should preserve both PLC configuration and Ethernet parameters.
Commissioning considerations
- Programming support: Engineering software must support the installed CPU and firmware release.
- Network planning: IP settings and connected-host expectations should be captured before exchanging hardware.
- Rack placement: The CPU is installed in the designated processor position of a compatible modular baseplate.
- System restart: After installation, controller status and network communication are checked as separate operating functions.
Supported networked uses
- Cell controllers: A machine cell can connect PLC execution directly to supervisory Ethernet services.
- Data collection: Production information can be made available to compatible host systems without an add-on Ethernet card.
- Retrofit networking: Legacy Series 90-30 racks gain integrated network access while conserving option-module space.
- Distributed equipment: Networked controllers can coordinate information across separate process or material-handling areas.
