IC693CPU323 GE 10-Slot Base Turbo CPU

The IC693CPU323 baseplate is a baseplate manufactured by GE Fanuc as part of Series 90-30. It is a 10-slot embedded CPU baseplate. There are several CPU models in the Series 90-30 PLCs that differ in speed, memory capacity, I/O capacity, and in advanced features. The 2 basic available types of CPUs are the modular and embedded CPUs. The embedded CPUs like the CPU in the IC693CPU323 baseplate are low-cost, but they lack the power and the versatility of modular CPUs. The embedded CPUs are part of the embedded IC693CPU323 CPU baseplate in which the memory chips and the CPU are soldered on the backplane board. The embedded CPUs cannot be changed, they do not support expansion or remote racks, and they have no time-of-day clocks since the memory back-up battery is found in the power supply and unplugging the power supply may disconnect the battery from the memory circuits.

The GE Fanuc Series 90-30 IC693CPU323 embedded CPU baseplate has power requirements that include a 5 Volts DC voltage rating and a current rating of 430 milliamps. This baseplate is not well matched with the GE Fanuc CCM and PCM devices, and it is not recommended to use it with these devices. It has an operating temperature range from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. The override features, interrupt features, and the battery-backed clocks are among the features that many CPUs have but that the CPU in the IC693CPU323 embedded CPU baseplate does not have. It has support for the shift registers, however, and the number of timers and counters available is 340. There is one serial port on the GE Fanuc IC693CPU323 baseplate that supports only the SNP slave and the SNP-X slave communication protocols.
