Description
GE IC693ACC310A Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC693ACC310A is a blank filler module engineered for GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC systems, designed to occupy unused I/O slots in baseplates and protect against dust, debris, and environmental contaminants. As a critical component for maintaining system integrity, this module ensures proper airflow, mechanical stability, and long-term reliability in industrial automation setups.
Constructed with a durable flame-retardant plastic casing, the GE IC693ACC310A withstands harsh industrial environments while maintaining a compact form factor (5.1 cm × 12.7 cm × 12.7 cm) and lightweight design (0.1 kg) for easy integration into control panels 16. Its snap-fit mechanism allows tool-free installation into vacant slots of IC693CHS397, IC693CHS391, and other Series 90-30 racks, ensuring secure alignment without backplane connectivity 2. Unlike active modules, the GE IC693ACC310A lacks electronic circuitry, eliminating power consumption and simplifying maintenance.
Compatible with IC693CPU311, IC693CPU323, and other Series 90-30 CPUs, the GE IC693ACC310A supports hot-swap capability, enabling installation or removal without powering down the system—a critical feature for minimizing downtime during expansions or reconfigurations 2. Its universal rack compatibility across local, expansion, and remote backplanes makes it ideal for large-scale industrial applications requiring standardized slot protection.

Main Features and Advantages
Dust and Debris Protection:
The GE IC693ACC310A acts as a physical barrier, sealing vacant I/O slots to prevent dust, oil, and moisture from infiltrating the backplane connectors. This is critical in manufacturing plants and oil refineries, where contaminants can degrade electronic components over time 17.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing GE IC693ACC310A, ensure the target baseplate is powered off and grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge. Align the module with the vacant slot, pressing firmly until the top and bottom latches engage. Verify proper seating by gently tugging the module—no movement should occur.
Maintenance suggestions: Perform quarterly visual inspections to ensure GE IC693ACC310A remains securely seated and free of debris. Clean the module’s surface with a dry cloth to remove dust buildup, particularly in high-contamination environments. While no internal components require calibration, check for cracks or warping in the casing annually, replacing the module if physical damage is detected.
