GE Fanuc IC693PCM301

The IC693PCM301 is a high-performance Programmable Coprocessor Module (PCM) designed by GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc., and is fully compatible with the Series 90-30 Modular PLCs. This microcomputer supports various programming languages, including Modbus RTU, GE Fanuc CCM protocols, MegaBasic, and C. It possesses a total memory capacity of 192 KB, with 47 KB dedicated to user MegaBasic applications, making it suitable for a range of automation tasks and process control. The IC693PCM301 can be installed in any CPU baseplate slot except slot 1 of the CPU module, and it is not designed for use in expansion racks, remote racks, or integrated CPU racks such as the CPU311, 313, or 323.

This module provides versatile settings, allowing it to operate as one or two independent CCM ports or as a combination of a CCM port and a MegaBasic application using one or both serial ports. It facilitates communication with various devices, including programming terminals, bar code readers, scales, printers, and remote terminal units (RTUs). The IC693PCM301 features a front connector with two accessible ports, with cable management supported by IC693CBL305 Wye cables, which split the connections from the single connector. Indicator functionality is enhanced with three LED lights: one indicates module status while the other two reflect activity on the respective ports, subject to user configuration.

Additionally, the IC693PCM301 includes a restart pushbutton to switch between "Run" and "Program" modes. This module's RAM memory is backed up by a lithium battery mounted on the inside of the faceplate, which should remain connected to preserve data in RAM and should be detached during long-term storage to prevent battery depletion. For connectivity to various programming devices, IC690CBL701/702/705 cables are recommended, though they are not included with the module.

Technical specifications include a current rating of 425 mA at 5 VDC and an operating temperature range from 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The IC693PCM301 is engineered for efficiency and stability in automation environments, making it a valuable addition to any Series 90-30 PLC system.
