Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC693CPU360 serves as a high-performance central processing unit for the Series 90-30 PLC platform. Built on a 25 MHz 80386EX microprocessor, this single-slot module delivers the processing power required for complex logic execution, high-speed data processing, and advanced communication management. It acts as the core intelligence for large-scale automation systems requiring extensive I/O expansion across multiple racks. We supply this module as 100% Brand New original equipment to ensure maximum reliability and longevity for your industrial control systems.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Massive System Scalability: The IC693CPU360 supports up to 8 baseplates, allowing the CPU to coordinate a massive I/O count across a distributed footprint. This scalability is ideal for large control systems in plant-wide applications with hundreds of digital and analog points.

• Efficient Single-Slot Design: Despite its high performance, the module occupies only the dedicated CPU slot, freeing up the remaining universal slots for I/O and communication modules. This maximizes rack efficiency and reduces hardware costs.

• Deterministic Logic Execution: The 25 MHz processor ensures rapid scan rates (0.22ms/1K logic), providing instant response to field changes. This is crucial for high-speed applications like packaging, motion control, and safety interlocking.

• Robust Data Preservation: The module is equipped with a high-capacity lithium battery that backs up the internal clock and user program memory, ensuring no data loss during power interruptions. The system restarts in the correct state without manual intervention.

• Advanced Communication Backbone: The CPU natively supports SNP and SNP-X protocols for local HMI and programming connections. It can also seamlessly integrate with Ethernet and Genius bus modules, positioning the PLC as a data hub in modern factory networks.

FAQs

Can I upgrade an existing IC693CPU311 system with the CPU360?

Yes, the IC693CPU360 fits into the same dedicated CPU slot as lower-tier models. With 240K memory and support for 8 baseplates, it provides a significant performance upgrade for systems that have outgrown their original CPUs.

Is this a brand new or refurbished part?

We guarantee that this IC693CPU360 is 100% Brand New. It ships in the original factory-sealed packaging with zero operational hours on the processor.

Does this module require a separate power supply?

The CPU module draws power directly from the baseplate backplane, which must be powered by the Series 90-30 power supply module (e.g., IC693PWR321) installed in the leftmost slot.

How do I replace the battery without losing my program?

Replace the battery while the PLC remains powered on to preserve the RAM contents. If power is off, complete the battery replacement within a few minutes to ensure the internal capacitor preserves the memory.
