The GE Fanuc IC693CPU363 is a high-performance CPU module designed for use with the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC systems. Built on the 80386EX microprocessor architecture, this module operates at a processor speed of 25 MHz, delivering robust processing capabilities for industrial automation applications. The IC693CPU363 can be mounted in one of the CPU slots on a baseplate and can connect to up to seven remote or expansion baseplates. It requires a power supply of +5 VDC and draws a current of 890 mA.

Featuring three serial ports, the first port supports SNP or SNPX slave communication, while the other two handle SNP or SNPX master and slave, as well as RTU slave connectivity. The module is fully compatible with RTU master configurations via an additional PCM module and supports connectivity with various networks, including FIP, Profibus, GBC, GCM, and GCM+ modules through its LAN port, facilitating multidrop communications.

User memory is substantial, totaling 240 kilobytes, with a typical logic scan rate of 0.22 milliseconds per kilobyte. The IC693CPU363 supports 2048 discrete input (%I) and 2048 discrete output (%Q) points. It also includes global memory allocations for discrete global memory (%G) and internal coils (%M), along with temporary coils (%T) and system status referenced (%S). Configuration of memory can seamlessly be performed using either Logicmaster or Control v2.2, allowing for flexibility in scaling memory from 128 words to a maximum of 16,384 or 32,640 words, respectively.

This module maintains operational reliability across ambient temperatures ranging from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius and includes a battery backup for real-time clock functionality. The IC693CPU363 also features 28 words of system registers and has floating-point math capabilities, enhancing its computational power for complex processing tasks. Overall, the GE Fanuc IC693CPU363 is a versatile and critical component in advanced automation systems.
