Description
GE IC693CPU323T Series 90-30 CPU Module
Product Overview
The GE IC693CPU323T is a central processing unit (CPU) module. It is designed for use in GE’s Series 90-30 programmable logic controller (PLC) systems. These systems are widely used in industrial automation. The GE IC693CPU323T serves as the “brain” of the PLC system. It processes data from connected sensors and devices. It then sends commands to actuators, motors, and other equipment.
This module is part of the IC693 Series. It builds on the functionality of the IC693CPU323 with enhanced features. These features include improved memory retention and better compatibility with newer Series 90-30 I/O modules. The GE IC693CPU323T has a 10 MHz processor. It can handle a range of automation tasks. These tasks include controlling conveyor belts, managing pump systems, and monitoring production lines.
The IC693CPU323T is built to operate in harsh industrial environments. It works in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C. It also handles humidity levels up to 95% (non-condensing). This makes it suitable for use in factories, power plants, and water treatment facilities. Even though GE has discontinued production of the GE IC693CPU323T, it remains a critical component for maintaining legacy automation systems. It allows businesses to avoid the high costs of full system upgrades.

Main features and advantages
Processing capability: The IC693CPU323T has a 10 MHz processor. This processor can handle basic to moderate automation tasks. It processes 1K of boolean logic in 0.6 milliseconds. This speed ensures quick responses to changes in sensor inputs. For example, it can adjust a conveyor belt’s speed immediately if a sensor detects a jam.
Memory and storage: The module has 12 KB of user program memory. This memory is enough to store logic for controlling small to medium-sized systems. It also includes non-volatile memory. This memory retains program data during power outages. This eliminates the need to reload programs after a power failure.
Compatibility: The IC693CPU323T works with all Series 90-30 I/O modules. These modules include digital inputs, analog outputs, and communication cards. This compatibility allows users to expand their systems. They can add new functions without replacing the CPU.
Durability: The IC693CPU323T is built to withstand tough industrial conditions. It operates in a wide temperature range. It resists humidity and dust. This durability reduces the risk of system failures. It makes the module reliable in environments like food processing plants and foundries.
Ease of integration: The module fits into standard Series 90-30 backplane racks. These racks include the IC693CHS393. It connects to other components through simple wiring. This makes installation and replacement straightforward. Technicians with basic PLC knowledge can handle these tasks.
Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Check that the IC693CPU323T is compatible with the existing Series 90-30 backplane rack. Ensure the rack has an available slot. Power off the PLC system before installation. Insert the IC693CPU323T into the slot. Push it firmly until it locks into place. Connect the power supply cable to the backplane. Ensure all connections are secure. Power on the system and verify the module’s status light turns green. This indicates proper installation.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the IC693CPU323T regularly. Check for dust buildup on the module’s surface. Use a dry cloth to wipe away dust. This prevents overheating. Monitor the status light during operation. A red light indicates a problem. Common issues include loose connections or memory errors. Reseat the module to fix loose connections. For memory errors, reload the program from a backup. Store spare IC693CPU323T modules in a dry, cool area. This ensures they are ready for quick replacement if needed.
