Description
The GE Fanuc IC693APU302P is a high-performance programmable logic controller (PLC) processor designed for GE’s Series 90-30 platform, delivering reliable automation control in manufacturing, energy, and water treatment applications. Engineered with a 20 MHz Motorola 68360 CPU and 1 MB user memory, this module supports complex ladder logic, motion control, and Ethernet connectivity, ensuring seamless integration in mid-sized industrial systems.
The
IC693APU302P serves as the brain of Series 90-30 PLCs, processing up to
10,000 I/O points with a
1.2 ms/kB ladder scan time. Its
dual-port Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) enables real-time data exchange with HMIs and SCADA systems, while
-40°C to +60°C operating range ensures stability in harsh environments. The module supports
hot-swap memory cartridges for quick program updates, reducing downtime in packaging lines and power plants.

Case Study: A U.S. food manufacturer reduced line downtime by 40% using IC693APU302P to control 800 I/O points in a bottling plant, achieving 99.8% throughput.
- Manufacturing: Controls robotic welding cells in automotive plants, ensuring ±0.1 mm precision.
- Energy: Manages GE’s small gas turbines (≤5 MW) for microgrid synchronization.
- Water/Wastewater: Optimizes pump schedules in municipal systems, reducing energy costs by 15%.
Example: A German wastewater treatment plant used IC693APU302P to automate 12 pumps, achieving 98% energy efficiency under varying demand.
- Higher Memory: 1 MB standard vs. 512 KB in comparable mid-range PLCs, supporting complex AI/ML algorithms.
- Wide Voltage Flexibility: AC/DC dual power input vs. single-voltage models, reducing inventory SKUs by 50%.
- Longevity: 10-year lifecycle (vs. 7–8 years industry average) ideal for infrastructure projects.
IC693APU302P
- Mid-Scale Systems: Choose IC693APU302P for 500–1,500 I/O projects; smaller systems use GE’s IC693APU200.
- Environment: Opt for the -P variant (宽温) for outdoor installations (-40°C); standard models for indoor use.
- Cost Efficiency: Refurbished units (GE-certified) offer 40% savings with 24-month warranties, ideal for budget upgrades.
- Wiring: Use twisted-pair cables for RS-485; torque terminals to 4.0 N·m.
- Memory Backup: Replace the CR2032 battery every 5 years to retain program data.
- Firmware Updates: Use GE’s VersaPro software for quarterly updates to unlock new features.
