Description

Product Description

The IC693APU305 is a high-performance I/O processor module designed for GE Fanuc Series 90‑30 PLCs, providing independent, fast I/O processing for demanding industrial applications. With a dedicated processor onboard, this module offloads high-speed input/output operations from the main CPU, delivering deterministic timing for pulse counting, motion control, event capture, and synchronized processes.

This module enables rapid response control without waiting for the CPU scan cycle, making it ideal for packaging, labeling, material handling, and high-frequency monitoring tasks.

Key Features

• Dedicated I/O processor for independent input/output logic execution

• High-speed digital input and output processing with microsecond-level refresh

• 32-bit total counts register for pulse and event tracking

• Configurable outputs with fuse protection and positive logic signaling

• Six green LEDs for module, output, and configuration status

• Optically and galvanically isolated I/O for noise and surge immunity

• Compact design compatible with any Series 90‑30 baseplate slot

• Compatible with Logicmaster 90‑30, VersaPro, and HHP programming
