Applications
The GE IC693CMM304 excels in applications requiring deterministic data exchange between PLCs. It is commonly used in:
- Alspa C80-35 PLC networks for global data sharing among up to 7 modules.
- CNC or Series 90-70 PLC systems interfacing with the proprietary GE Fanuc I/O link.
- Alspa 8000 PLC installations where pre-configured global data sharing is needed.
For genuine GE Fanuc parts and fast quote response, PLC Source PRO supplies the IC693CMM304 with technical support to ensure seamless integration.
Compatibility
The IC693CMM304 is configured as a slave device and can be installed in any Series 90-30 I/O rack. It supports transmission of either 62 or 32 I/O points from the Series 90-30 PLC on the I/O link. The module is software-configured using Windows-based or MS-DOS programming software. It is compatible with Alspa C80-35 and Alspa 8000 PLC CPUs for N80 global data operations.
Installation and Configuration
Install the GE IC693CMM304 in a single slot of a Series 90-30 rack. Ensure the backplane provides 5 Volts DC and can supply 1.3 Amps. Use the appropriate programming software to configure the module as a slave for N80 global data. LED indicators assist with status monitoring during setup and operation.
