Description
Overview
The IC693CPU350 CPU 350 Processor Module is a compact, single‑slot controller designed for GE Fanuc Series 90‑30 PLC systems. It provides reliable execution of automation logic, communication handling, and system coordination for discrete and process‑control applications. Its architecture is optimized for stable, real‑time operation in industrial environments where deterministic performance is essential.
Functional Characteristics
At the core of the IC693CPU350 is an Intel 80386EX processor operating at 25 MHz, offering dependable processing capability for medium‑sized control programs. The module includes 32 KB of user memory (RAM and Flash), supporting program storage, data retention, and configuration flexibility.
Communication is provided through an integrated RS‑485 serial port, enabling connectivity with HMIs, programming devices, and other Series 90‑30 components. The controller supports a broad range of timers, counters, and logic instructions, making it suitable for complex automation tasks.
Power consumption is low—only 5 VDC at approximately 670 mA—allowing efficient operation within compact control racks.
Performance and System Capacity
The IC693CPU350 supports:
-
Boolean execution speed of approximately 0.9 ms per 1K instructions
-
Up to 20 DSM314 modules (actual capacity depends on memory usage and system configuration)
-
Over 2000 timers/counters
-
Program and configuration storage in shared memory
Performance may vary depending on datagram usage, C‑block allocation, and simultaneous program/configuration storage. Separating these functions can improve overall system responsiveness.
