Product Overview
The GE IC693CPU364 is a high-performance central processing unit (CPU) module. It is designed for GE’s Series 90-30 programmable logic controller (PLC) systems. These systems are widely used in industrial automation. The GE IC693CPU364 serves as the core of the PLC system. It processes data from connected sensors and devices. It then issues commands to actuators, motors, and other equipment.
This module is part of the IC693 Series. It offers enhanced capabilities compared to earlier models in the series. The GE IC693CPU364 features a 33 MHz processor. It has 128 KB of user memory. This allows it to handle more complex automation tasks. These tasks include controlling multi-stage production lines, managing process variables, and coordinating multiple machines.
The IC693CPU364 is built to operate in harsh industrial environments. It functions in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C. It also tolerates humidity levels up to 95% (non-condensing). This makes it suitable for use in factories, power plants, and chemical processing facilities. Even though GE has discontinued production of the GE IC693CPU364, it remains a critical component for maintaining legacy automation systems. It allows businesses to extend the life of their existing infrastructure without the need for full system replacements.
