GE Fanuc IC693CBL316

Part Number: IC693CBL316

The IC693CBL316 USB Serial Cable is a versatile connection solution designed for industrial applications, specifically for interfacing the RS-232 port of Data Serial Modules (DSM) with a PC. Often referred to as the "Station Manager Cable," this shielded, 3-foot (1-meter) cable features a 6-pin RJ-11 connector on one end and a 9-pin D-shell connector on the other. The cable is protocol dependent and is exclusively used for serial communications, functioning effectively with GE Fanuc PLC and PAC systems. It is compatible with the RX3i CPE 305 programming port and the Ethernet ETM001 module. The RJ-11 connector connects to five pins of the 9-pin D-shell connector, with the 5th pin of the latter facilitating a connection to both the 3rd (green) and 4th (brown) pins of the RJ-11. This cable allows for various functional applications, including monitoring, configuring, firmware updating, and programming, particularly across CPU models such as the IC693CPU351, 352, and 363. It is also suited for use with the IC693DSM302 and IC693DSM314 modules, permitting the loading of motion programs and firmware. Additionally, the cable can connect to the Station Manager port of the IC693CMM321 Ethernet module and the IC693CPU364 CPU module, which includes a built-in Ethernet interface, enhancing data communication capabilities in automation processes.
