Description
The
GE Fanuc IC693CPU363 is a high-performance single-slot CPU module designed for industrial automation, part of the Series 90-30 PLC family. Equipped with a 25 MHz 80386EX processor and 240 KB configurable user memory, the IC693CPU363 delivers advanced control capabilities for complex logic, high-speed data processing, and multi-protocol communication. Its three built-in serial ports (RS232/RS485) and support for protocols like Ethernet, Profibus, and FIP enable seamless integration with HMIs, SCADA systems, and remote I/O modules. Ideal for harsh environments (0–60°C operation), the module features flash memory for firmware updates, battery-backed real-time clock, and floating-point math support (via firmware v9.0+), making it suitable for manufacturing, energy, and process control applications.

IC693CPU363
- Multi-Protocol Connectivity: Three serial ports (2 front-panel, 1 power-supply) support SNP/SNP-X, RTU, and legacy GE protocols, reducing hardware costs.
- Flexible Memory Configuration: 240 KB user memory configurable via LogicMaster (16,384 words) or Control V2.2 (32,640 words) for complex applications.
- High Reliability: Industrial-grade design with wide temperature range and flash memory for firmware updates without EPROM replacement.
- Advanced Functions: Built-in PID, 高速计数器 (HSC), 脉宽调制 (PWM), and periodic subroutines for machine automation.
- Scalability: Supports up to 8 baseplates (2,048 I/O points) for distributed control systems.
- Industries: Manufacturing, packaging, water treatment, and material handling.
- 典型应用案例:
A water treatment plant integrated the IC693CPU363 to manage pump systems and chemical dosing. Its three serial ports enabled simultaneous communication with sensors (RS485), HMIs (RS232), and a SCADA system (Ethernet module). The module’s 240 KB memory stored complex PID algorithms, reducing manual adjustments by 30% and improving process efficiency.
Compared to similar CPUs (e.g., Allen-Bradley Micro830 or Siemens S7-1200):
- Higher I/O Density: 2,048 points vs. ~256 in entry-level models.
- Legacy Compatibility: Seamless integration with GE Fanuc Series 90-30 I/O (e.g., IC693MDL730, IC693PWR330H) and software.
- Multi-Port Architecture: Three serial ports (vs. 1–2 in competitors) for concurrent device connectivity.

IC693CPU363
- Compatibility: Ensure alignment with Series 90-30 baseplates (e.g., IC693CHS392) and I/O modules.
- Memory Requirements: Choose based on application complexity (e.g., 128–32,640 words for register memory).
- Communication Needs: Use optional Ethernet/Profibus modules for networked systems.
- Environment: Verify temperature/humidity conditions (0–60°C operation).
-
Power Stability: Use a regulated +5 VDC supply (890 mA max) to avoid voltage drops.
-
Firmware Updates: Regularly update flash firmware via serial port for protocol support (e.g., floating-point math in v9.0+).
-
Grounding: Connect frame ground to reduce EMI interference.
-
Battery Replacement: Replace the clock battery (GE part 44A725214-001) every 5–7 years.
