Product Overview
The GE IC693DSM302-AE is a high-reliability digital servo motor controller designed for GE’s 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform. Engineered to deliver precise motion control in industrial automation systems, this module serves as a critical component for managing servo motors in applications requiring accurate position, speed, and torque regulation. The GE IC693DSM302-AE integrates advanced signal processing with rugged industrial design, making it ideal for industries such as manufacturing, material handling, and robotics where precision and durability are non-negotiable.
As part of the GE 90-30 series, the GE IC693DSM302-AE supports up to 2 channels of servo motor control, enabling seamless integration with GE’s PLC architecture. It features the ability to process analog input signals (0–10 VDC or 4–20 mA) for command signals and provides pulse-width modulation (PWM) outputs for motor drive interfaces. The module’s compact form factor (100 mm × 150 mm × 75 mm) and lightweight design (0.9 kg) facilitate easy installation in control panels, while its 24 VDC power supply and wide operating temperature range (-25°C to +60°C) ensure reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.
In automation systems, the GE IC693DSM302-AE acts as a bridge between the PLC and servo motors, translating control commands into precise motor movements. Its built-in diagnostic functions monitor motor health, including overcurrent, overvoltage, and thermal conditions, minimizing downtime and enhancing system reliability. By combining high-speed processing with flexible configuration via GE’s VersaPro software, the module empowers engineers to optimize production efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and maintain consistent quality in manufacturing processes.

Main Features and Advantages
Dual-Channel Servo Control: The GE IC693DSM302-AE supports simultaneous control of two servo motors, enabling complex motion profiles in multi-axis applications. This capability reduces the need for additional control modules, simplifying system architecture and lowering costs.
High-Precision Signal Processing: With 12-bit analog-to-digital conversion, the module ensures accurate interpretation of command signals, translating them into precise PWM outputs for motor drives. This precision is critical in applications such as CNC machining or robotic assembly, where sub-millimeter accuracy is essential.
Robust Industrial Design: Built with a rugged metal enclosure and conformal-coated PCBs, the GE IC693DSM302-AE resists dust, moisture, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its wide temperature range and vibration tolerance make it suitable for harsh environments, including automotive manufacturing plants and heavy machinery setups.
Seamless PLC Integration: As part of GE’s 90-30 platform, the module connects directly to the Genius Bus, enabling real-time data exchange with the PLC’s central processor. This integration supports dynamic adjustments to motor parameters (e.g., acceleration, deceleration rates) based on process feedback, enhancing system responsiveness.
Advanced Diagnostics: Integrated self-test functions monitor channel performance, power supply stability, and motor health, providing real-time alerts via front-panel LEDs and the PLC’s HMI. This proactive approach to maintenance reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and ensures continuous operation.
