Description
Product Overview
The GE IC693CPU374 is a single-slot CPU module designed for GE Fanuc Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), offering high-performance processing and advanced communication capabilities. Equipped with a 133 MHz AMD SC520 processor and 240 KB of configurable user memory, the module supports complex control logic and real-time data processing in industrial automation environments. Its dual embedded Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps) enable seamless integration with HMIs, SCADA systems, and cloud platforms, while the RS-485 port (via power supply) supports SNP/SNPX protocols for legacy system connectivity.
Key features include floating-point math hardware for precision calculations, battery-backed real-time clock for time-sensitive operations, and hot-swap capability (with compatible CPUs) for reduced downtime. The non-volatile memory retains configuration data during power outages, while 1,500V RMS isolation ensures immunity to electrical noise. The IC693CPU374 is optimized for CPU baseplate installation (Slot 1 recommended) and supports up to 7 expansion/remote baseplates for scalable I/O configurations.

Main Features and Advantages
High-Speed Processing: The 133 MHz AMD SC520 processor delivers a 0.15 µs/boolean instruction execution time, making it suitable for high-speed control tasks in manufacturing and process industries. Its floating-point math hardware enables precision calculations for analog control and motion applications.
Flexible Communication: The dual Ethernet ports support SRTP, EGD, and Modbus TCP protocols, allowing simultaneous data exchange with multiple devices. The RS-485 port (via power supply) supports SNP/SNPX for integration with legacy Genius I/O systems.
Scalable Memory Configuration: The 240 KB user memory can be allocated dynamically to register memory (128–32,640 words), analog inputs (128–32,640 words), and analog outputs (128–32,640 words), accommodating diverse application requirements.
Industrial-Grade Reliability: Built with IP20-rated protection, the module resists dust and accidental contact. Its -40°C to +85°C storage temperature range ensures long-term reliability in extreme environments, while 1,500V RMS isolation safeguards against voltage spikes.
Cost-Effective Maintenance: The tool-less design and hot-swap capability enable rapid module replacement without system downtime. The LED diagnostics provide immediate feedback on power, communication status, and fault conditions.
Application Areas
Manufacturing Automation: The IC693CPU374 coordinates robotics, conveyor systems, and vision inspection sensors in automotive assembly lines. Its Modbus TCP support enables integration with ERP systems for real-time production monitoring.
Power Generation: Used in thermal and renewable energy plants, the module interfaces with turbine sensors, generator exciters, and grid-connected switchgear. Its remote I/O support enhances grid stability and fault detection in distributed energy systems.
Process Industries: In pharmaceutical and chemical plants, the IC693CPU374 monitors valve actuators, pH sensors, and flow meters for precise batch processing. The bus error logging feature ensures regulatory compliance by tracking deviations in high-purity environments.
Water/Wastewater Management: The module controls pump stations, chlorination systems, and level sensors in water treatment facilities. Its rack addressing flexibility accommodates expanding infrastructure, while the IP20-rated enclosure simplifies maintenance in humid or corrosive environments.
