GE IC693DNM200-CD Data Highway Plus Network Module
Product Overview
The GE IC693DNM200-CD is a Data Highway Plus (DH+) network module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems, a widely used platform in industrial automation. This module enables communication between the PLC and other devices on a DH+ network, such as HMIs, other PLCs, and data collection systems. It acts as a bridge, allowing data to flow smoothly between components, which is critical for coordinating tasks in large industrial setups.
As part of the IC693 Series, the GE IC693DNM200-CD supports the DH+ protocol, a reliable industrial network standard. It operates at a data transfer rate of 57.6 kbps, ensuring that commands and status updates move quickly enough for real-time control. The module fits into the Series 90-30 backplane racks, such as the IC693CHS393, and works with CPUs like the IC693CPU364 to extend the PLC’s connectivity.
Built to handle tough industrial environments, the GE IC693DNM200-CD operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and humidity up to 95% (non-condensing). This makes it suitable for factories, automotive plants, and power generation facilities. Even though GE has discontinued production, the GE IC693DNM200-CD remains essential for maintaining legacy DH+ networks, helping businesses avoid the cost of upgrading entire systems while keeping their automation infrastructure running.

Main features and advantages
DH+ network compatibility: The IC693DNM200-CD is designed to work with the DH+ protocol, a proven standard in industrial networks. This means it can connect the Series 90-30 PLC to a wide range of devices that use DH+, such as HMIs for operator control or other PLCs in a factory-wide system.
Reliable data transfer: Operating at 57.6 kbps, the module ensures that data moves quickly enough for real-time tasks. For example, it can send a command from the PLC to a conveyor belt motor to slow down as soon as a sensor detects a jam, preventing damage.
Easy integration: The IC693DNM200-CD fits directly into Series 90-30 backplane racks, like the IC693CHS393. It does not require special tools to install—simply slide it into an empty slot and secure it. This makes adding network capability to an existing PLC system straightforward.
Tough design: Built to handle industrial conditions, the IC693DNM200-CD works in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C. It also resists humidity and dust, so it remains reliable in factories, outdoor installations, or dirty environments like foundries.
Legacy system support: Many older industrial systems still use DH+ networks. The IC693DNM200-CD allows these systems to keep running without needing expensive upgrades. It works with existing DH+ cables and devices, saving businesses time and money.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Check that the IC693DNM200-CD is compatible with your Series 90-30 backplane rack (e.g., IC693CHS393) and PLC CPU (e.g., IC693CPU364). Ensure there is an empty slot in the rack. Power off the PLC system before installation. Slide the module into the slot until it clicks into place. Connect the DH+ cable (e.g., IC693CBL324) to the module’s network port. Power the system back on and check that the module’s status light is green, indicating it is working.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the IC693DNM200-CD regularly for dust or loose connections. Wipe dust off with a dry cloth to prevent overheating. Check the DH+ cable connections to make sure they are tight—loose cables can cause data delays or drops. If the module’s status light turns red, power off the system, remove the module, and reinsert it to fix possible loose connections. Store a spare IC693DNM200-CD in a dry, cool area (10–30°C) so it can be swapped in quickly if needed, minimizing downtime.
Application fields
The GE IC693DNM200-CD is used in industries where DH+ networks are part of the automation setup:
- Automotive manufacturing: In car plants, the module connects Series 90-30 PLCs to HMIs on the production line. This allows operators to monitor robot movements or adjust assembly steps in real time, ensuring cars are built correctly and efficiently.
- Food and beverage processing: In bottling plants, the IC693DNM200-CD links the PLC to a central data system. This system tracks production numbers, like how many bottles are filled per hour, and sends alerts if a machine slows down.
- Power generation: In power plants, the module connects the PLC to other control systems via DH+. For example, it can send data from turbine sensors to a central HMI, letting operators monitor performance and spot issues early.
- Material handling: In warehouses, the IC693DNM200-CD enables the PLC to communicate with conveyor belt controllers and barcode scanners. This coordination ensures that packages are sorted correctly and sent to the right shipping area.
