GE Fanuc IC693DSM324

Part Number: IC693DSM324

The GE Fanuc IC693DSM324 is an advanced motion controller designed for use within the PACsystems RX3i platform. This module excels at executing high-speed mathematical operations and logic decisions, enhancing the performance capabilities of the control system. It necessitates a CPU firmware version of 10 or later from the 90-30 series, with a power requirement of 5V DC and a current draw of 860 mA, along with additional encoder current. To mitigate the risk of PLC module faults, the Load parameter COMM_REQ function is implemented within the IC693DSM324. The path generator of this module is engineered to operate at velocities exceeding the programmed settings. Note that it does not support external decoders. In the event of an amplifier failure, a servo jump occurs, necessitating a re-enable of the servo; however, this can be avoided by utilizing cycle v24, which provides direct control over the servo amplifier. Additionally, the IC693DSM324 allows for jog operations that may extend beyond programmed end-of-travel (EOT) limits, requiring careful consideration to ensure the EOT limit is less than the respective position limit to successfully halt jog operations. This module can halt both programmed and follower motions by controlling the corresponding %Q bits. When disabling the master axes, it is advisable to abort the CAM operation if executing in absolute mode. The IC693DSM324 is particularly well-suited for applications involving mechanical cams, equipped with an electronic CAM follower, and it adeptly manages digital servos across the αi and βi series.
