GE Fanuc IC693CPU372

The GE Fanuc IC693CPU372 is a robust Ethernet communication module specifically designed for the Series 90-30 control system. It supports TCP/IP communication, enabling connectivity with a diverse range of devices and controllers through its enhanced Ethernet interface, which boasts a processor speed of 200 MHz. Utilizing the Series 90, PACSystems, and VersaMax PLCs, the IC693CPU372 Plus can interface seamlessly with host computers running the Host Communications Toolkit or CIMPLICITY software, as well as with systems operating TCP/IP compatible programming software. This module features SRTP server capability, making it responsive to requests from PLC programming applications or other PLCs acting as clients.

The embedded Ethernet interface allows for the installation of up to three additional Series 90-30 Ethernet modules within the PLC backplane, enhancing its flexibility and power. It supports full PLC programming and configuration services and permits remote monitoring via a web browser. The interface includes two auto-sensing 10Base T/100Base TX RJ-45 shielded twisted pair ports, facilitating connection to either a 100BaseTX IEEE 802.3 network or a 10BaseT network. Both ports automatically adjust to the appropriate speed, duplex mode, and cable type without requiring manual configuration. Additionally, the front panel is equipped with an ON/OFF switch, eight LEDs, an Ethernet Restart button, two Ethernet port connectors, and a connector for the Station Manager function.

Technical specifications for the IC693CPU372 include a processor speed of 133 MHz, 2048 user logic memory capacity, 240 KB of register memory, and support for floating-point math in a 32-bit system. The module accommodates 4096 discrete I/O points and 2048 analog inputs alongside 512 analog outputs, with memory storage options including RAM and Flash. It is compatible with the Proficy Logic Developer: Machine Edition software for programming and configuration tasks.
