Product Overview
The GE Fanuc IC693CPU363 serves as the high-performance communication hub and primary processor for the Series 90-30 PLC platform. Built on a 32-bit 80386EX architecture running at 25 MHz, this module distinguishes itself by integrating a 10Base-T Ethernet port directly onto the CPU faceplate. It executes complex control logic with a fast scan rate of 0.22 ms per 1K logic, while simultaneously managing up to 4,096 I/O points. This single-slot solution eliminates the need for separate Ethernet modules, making it the ideal choice for networked industrial automation environments requiring high-speed data exchange and robust logic execution.

Engineering Advantages
The IC693CPU363 provides specific hardware solutions for modernizing legacy PLC systems and improving network transparency:
-
Integrated TCP/IP Architecture: The built-in Ethernet port allows direct connection to HMI, SCADA, and enterprise networks without occupying additional rack slots. This simplifies the hardware configuration and reduces the total cost of ownership for networked systems.
-
Complex Computational Support: Featuring built-in floating-point math capabilities, this CPU handles advanced algorithms for PID control and flow calculations. This ensures high-precision control in process industries like chemical treatment and power generation.
-
Deterministic Interrupt Handling: The module supports the periodic subroutine feature, allowing engineers to execute time-critical logic at fixed intervals. This is essential for applications requiring consistent timing, such as high-speed packaging or synchronized motor control.
-
Robust Data Retention: By combining RAM and Flash memory, the IC693CPU363 offers a dual-layered storage strategy. Flash memory provides a permanent, non-volatile backup for user programs, preventing data loss during extended power outages or battery failures.
FAQs
-
Is this GE IC693CPU363 unit 100% Brand New and Original?
Yes. We supply the IC693CPU363 in 100% Brand New and Original condition, complete with factory-sealed packaging. Every unit carries a 12-month factory warranty to ensure long-term reliability in your production environment.
-
Does this CPU require a separate Ethernet interface module?
No. Unlike standard Series 90-30 CPUs, the IC693CPU363 features an integrated 10Base-T Ethernet port. This allows for direct networking capabilities right out of the box, saving both space and cost.
-
Can I use this CPU to expand an existing Series 90-30 system?
Absolutely. The IC693CPU363 is fully compatible with standard Series 90-30 baseplates and supports up to 7 expansion or remote racks. This allows you to manage thousands of I/O points across a distributed factory footprint.
-
What is the typical scan rate for this processor?
The IC693CPU363 executes Boolean logic at a typical rate of 0.22 ms per 1,000 lines. This high-speed performance ensures that the controller can respond to field changes in real-time, even in complex applications.
