GE Fanuc IC693CPU323 Series 90-30 10-Slot Baseplate with Integrated Turbo CPU

Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC693CPU323 provides a compact and powerful "all-in-one" solution for the Series 90-30 PLC platform. Unlike standard modular configurations, this unit integrates a high-speed Turbo CPU directly into a 10-slot baseplate. This architecture simplifies system design by combining the processor and the chassis into a single hardware footprint. It handles up to 320 discrete I/O points, making it the ideal choice for mid-sized automation projects requiring high-speed logic execution and significant expansion capacity. We offer this module in 100% Brand New condition, providing a factory-fresh replacement for legacy system maintenance.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Turbo-Charged Processing Speed: The integrated Turbo CPU executes logic at a rapid 0.6ms scan rate. This ensures high-speed response times for synchronized machine movements and complex safety interlocking, outperforming standard 90-30 CPU models.

• Streamlined Rack Architecture: By embedding the CPU into the baseplate, the IC693CPU323 frees up physical space and reduces internal bus connections. This integrated design eliminates the need for a separate CPU module slot, allowing for a more compact enclosure layout without sacrificing I/O density.

• Massive Expansion Potential: The 10-slot configuration accommodates a wide variety of discrete, analog, and communication modules. Engineers can scale the system to meet evolving process demands simply by adding I/O cards to the available backplane slots.

• Simplified Power Management: The unit draws only 430mA from the 5VDC supply. This low current requirement leaves significant power overhead for the remaining slots, allowing you to use standard Series 90-30 power supplies even with power-hungry analog or high-speed counter modules.

FAQs

• Can I replace the CPU module on the IC693CPU323?

  No. The IC693CPU323 features an integrated CPU that is built directly into the baseplate hardware. If your application requires a modular CPU that can be upgraded independently, you should utilize a standard baseplate like the IC693CHS391 with a separate plug-in CPU module.

• What is the primary benefit of the "Turbo" designation?

  The "Turbo" CPU utilizes an optimized instruction set and faster internal clock speeds. This allows it to process the same amount of Boolean logic significantly faster than entry-level Series 90-30 CPUs, effectively reducing overall machine cycle times.

• How do I backup the user program on this integrated unit?

  The IC693CPU323 utilizes internal RAM backed by a lithium battery (located on the power supply module) for volatile storage. For permanent storage, you can download the 12K program to the internal Flash memory, ensuring the PLC recovers instantly after a long-term power loss.

• Is this a refurbished or used baseplate?

  Absolutely not. We guarantee this IC693CPU323 is 100% Brand New. This is especially important for integrated units, as the backplane connectors and the onboard processor have zero hours of operational wear, ensuring the highest possible reliability for your facility.
