Product Overview

The IC693PRG300, also known as the G300 Hand-Held Programmer (HHP), is a portable programming and diagnostic tool for GE Fanuc / Emerson Series 90-30 PLC systems. This 100% brand new, original device enables engineers and maintenance personnel to develop, monitor, and troubleshoot PLC logic directly on-site without requiring a PC. It uses Statement List (STL) programming language, providing a compact and efficient interface for field operations.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

Portable Diagnostic Capability
Enables on-site troubleshooting without a laptop, allowing technicians to force I/O, monitor registers, and adjust parameters directly at the machine.

Instant Communication
Connects immediately to compatible PLC systems without requiring COM port configuration, baud rate setup, or software drivers.

Hot-Pluggable Operation
Supports connection and disconnection while the PLC remains powered, enabling live diagnostics with minimal disruption to operations.

Direct Hardware Interface
Connects via a dedicated 15-pin port on the power supply, receiving both power and communication signaling for a stable, high-priority diagnostic link.

FAQs

Which Series 90-30 CPUs are not compatible with the HHP?
It does not support programming for CPU models 350 and above. Higher-end CPUs require PC-based tools such as Proficy Machine Edition or Logicmaster 90.

Can I use a standard serial cable instead of IC693CBL303?
No. The IC693CBL303 cable is required because it provides both power and proper signal wiring for PLC communication and device detection.

What programming language does the HHP use?
It uses Statement List (STL), a text-based instruction format (e.g., LD, AND, OUT), rather than graphical ladder logic.

Does the HHP store the program internally?
No. The programmer interfaces directly with the PLC memory. Programs reside in the CPU, not in the handheld unit itself.
