Product Overview
The GE IC693CPU350 is a central processing unit (CPU) module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 programmable logic controller (PLC) systems. It serves as the core component of automation systems, responsible for executing control programs, processing data from input modules, and sending commands to output modules. This functionality makes it essential for managing industrial processes in various settings.
The GE IC693CPU350 operates with a 32-bit microprocessor. It offers sufficient processing power to handle medium-complexity control tasks. These tasks include sequence control, timing, and simple arithmetic operations. The module is part of GE’s Series 90-30 family, which is widely used in industrial automation due to its reliability and compatibility with a range of I/O modules.
The GE IC693CPU350 features 512 KB of user memory for storing control programs and data. This memory capacity is suitable for most medium-scale applications. It connects to other Series 90-30 modules via a backplane, enabling seamless communication within the PLC system. The module also includes status indicators on its front panel. These indicators show power status, program execution, and error conditions, facilitating quick troubleshooting.
Built to withstand industrial environments, the GE IC693CPU350 operates in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C. It can also function in humidity levels between 5% and 95% without condensation. This durability ensures consistent performance in factories, power plants, and other harsh industrial settings.
