GE IC693CPU363-DL Single slot CPU module

GE    IC693CPU363-DL

       The GE Fanuc IC693CPU363 is a Module of GE Fanuc series 90-30 PLC systems. It connects to one of the CPU slots on a baseplate. This CPU is of type 80386X and has a speed of 25Mz. It gives the baseplate the ability to connect to up to seven remote or expansion baseplates. The power required for it to work is +5VDC and 890mA current. It has a battery to back up a clock and can be overridden. When it operates, its temperature can vary from 0 to 60 degrees in ambient mode.

FAQ

Q1: What is GE's legacy in the industrial automation industry?

A1: GE (General Electric), founded by Thomas Edison in 1889, was a global leader in PLC systems, including the famous Series 90-70, PACSystems RX3i/RXi, and VersaMax I/O platforms. While GE's industrial automation division was acquired by Emerson in 2019, these products remain widely used in factories worldwide .

Q2: Does GE support hot-swapping of I/O modules?

A2: Yes, most GE PACSystems and VersaMax I/O modules support hot insertion (hot-swapping) when used with compatible Network Interface Units. This allows module replacement without powering down the entire system. However, always verify your specific NIU configuration before performing hot-swap .

Q3: What is the most common failure mode in GE PLC modules?

A3: Power supply aging (capacitor failure) and communication faults (Ethernet/Profibus dropouts).

Q4: What is GE's proprietary communication protocol for PLCs?

A4:  GE developed SRTP (Service Request Transport Protocol) for Ethernet communication with PLCs, succeeding the serial SNP/SNPX protocols. It uses default port 18245 .
