GE Fanuc IC693TCM303

The GE Fanuc IC693TCM303 Temperature Control Module (TCM) is designed to provide precise temperature management across up to eight channels. This advanced module operates effectively in both closed loop and open loop configurations, handling a range of thermocouple types, including Thermocouple J and Thermocouple L with a temperature range of 0°C to 750°C. It features a high-resolution capability of 12 bits, enabling temperature readings with a precision of 0.5°C, and it can also manage Thermocouple R over different temperature ranges, specifically 0°C to 600°C for the IC693TCM302 and up to 1050°C for the IC693TCM303.

The IC693TCM303 incorporates two plug-in connectors, allowing seamless connections to external power sources for output relays, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), and field devices such as thermocouples. Captive screw terminals on these connectors facilitate easy field wiring. Clear labeling on the front cover indicates the signal name for each terminal, enhancing operational clarity. Input connections are located on the left-hand side, while output connections are positioned on the right-hand side of the module.

This module is equipped with LED indicators that provide real-time feedback on its operational status, displaying conditions such as External Power (P), Run (R), Fault (F), Short (S), and the Output Status for each channel (1-8). The IC693TCM303 represents an upgraded version of the IC693TCM302, with enhancements in both temperature range and resolution. Technical specifications include a module type focused on thermocouple input, an output voltage range of 18 to 30 VDC, a load current rating of 100 mA per point, and an internal power consumption of 150 mA at 5 VDC. The IC693TCM303 is a robust choice for industrial applications requiring precise temperature control and monitoring.
