Description
GE IC693MAR590 Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC693MAR590 is a memory cartridge module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems. It serves as a storage device for control programs, configuration data, and user parameters in industrial automation setups. This module ensures that critical information remains intact even when the PLC loses power, making it essential for maintaining system continuity.
The GE IC693MAR590 offers a memory capacity of 1 MB, which is sufficient for storing complex control logic used in medium to large-scale applications. It is compatible with Series 90-30 CPUs such as the IC693CPU350 and IC693CPU374. The module connects directly to the CPU via a dedicated slot, enabling quick data transfer between the cartridge and the processor.
The GE IC693MAR590 is built to withstand industrial conditions. It operates in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C and can handle humidity levels between 5% and 95% without condensation. Its compact design (85 mm × 55 mm × 25 mm) and lightweight structure (0.1 kg) make it easy to install and replace. The module’s non-volatile memory technology ensures that data is retained without the need for a backup battery, reducing maintenance needs. Whether in factories, power plants, or water treatment facilities, the GE IC693MAR590 provides reliable data storage for PLC systems.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing the GE IC693MAR590, power off the Series 90-30 CPU. This prevents damage to the module or CPU. Check that the CPU model is compatible—most Series 90-30 CPUs work, including the IC693CPU350. Align the module with the dedicated slot on the CPU. Slide it in gently until it clicks into place.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the GE IC693MAR590 regularly. Check that it is fully seated in the CPU slot. Dust the module and CPU with a dry cloth every three months. This prevents dust buildup that could affect connections. Avoid touching the module’s contacts. Static electricity can damage the memory. If the module fails to read data, remove it and reinsert it to ensure a tight connection.
Application Areas
In manufacturing: Factories use the GE IC693MAR590 to store control programs for assembly lines. For example, it holds logic that controls robotic arms, conveyor belts, and quality checks. If power is lost, the program reloads quickly when power returns, minimizing downtime.
In power plants: The GE IC693MAR590 stores turbine control programs. These programs regulate speed, pressure, and temperature. The non-volatile memory ensures that critical settings are not lost during grid outages, helping maintain stable power generation.
In water treatment: The module stores programs for pump control and chemical dosing systems. It keeps data on water levels, pH targets, and valve timings. This ensures that treatment processes restart smoothly after power interruptions, keeping water safe.
In food processing: The GE IC693MAR590 holds programs for mixing, cooking, and packaging equipment. It retains recipes and timing settings, ensuring consistent product quality even if the system loses power.
