Description
Product Description
The IC693DNM200 is a DeviceNet Master/Scanner module designed for the GE Fanuc Series 90‑30 PLC family, providing Class 2 Master functionality. It allows a PLC to communicate with up to 63 DeviceNet slave devices, including drives, motor starters, remote I/O blocks, and sensors, effectively integrating distributed field devices as if they were local I/O.
The module handles all DeviceNet network traffic automatically, scans slave devices, and maps input/output data directly into the PLC memory tables, simplifying programming and reducing wiring complexity. The IC693DNM200 installs in a single Series 90‑30 rack slot (all except slots 0 and 1) and includes a 5‑pin DeviceNet terminal block for network connections and an RS‑232 service port for configuration, diagnostics, and firmware updates.
LED indicators display module, network, and I/O activity for quick troubleshooting. With support for Poll, Strobe, Cyclic, and Change-of-State messaging, this module provides flexible and high-speed communication for large DeviceNet networks.
