Description

Product Description

The IC693CPU352 is a single-slot CPU module for the GE Fanuc Series 90‑30 PLC platform, designed for medium-to-large automation systems requiring high-speed logic, floating-point calculations, and extensive I/O support. Utilizing an Intel 80386EX processor at 25 MHz, this module offers fast scan rates, flexible memory configuration, and multiple serial communication options. Its compact single-slot design maximizes available rack space for I/O or expansion modules.
