Description
Product Description
The IC693PCM300 is a high-performance programmable coprocessor module engineered for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC platform. It extends the computational capabilities of the standard CPU, enabling the execution of advanced calculations, custom algorithms, and data-intensive tasks without impacting main processor performance.
Powered by an Intel 80386EX processor at 16 MHz, the IC693PCM300 comes with 1 MB of RAM and 128 KB of non-volatile flash memory. It supports both C and BASIC programming languages, allowing engineers to implement user-defined applications, string processing, and complex math functions. The module features dual serial communication ports (RS-232 and RS-485) for flexible connectivity with terminals, CRTs, or external devices.
Designed for industrial reliability, this single-slot coprocessor fits directly into the Series 90-30 backplane and includes LED indicators for module status and operation feedback. Lithium battery support ensures data retention for RAM memory.
