GE IC693CMM302 Enhanced Genius Communications Module

GE IC693CMM302 Enhanced Genius Communications Module

Basic Overview

Manufacturer: Formerly for GE Fanuc Automation, now part of Emerson Automation.

Module Type: Communication module that is part of the 90-30 Series family of programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

Key Features: Features enhanced Genius communication capabilities.

Technical Specifications and Features

Communication capability:

Capable of global data communication between up to 32 devices, including PLCs and other devices connected to the Genius bus.

Each controller can be configured with up to two IC693CMM302 modules, thereby supporting communication with up to 62 devices.

Data Transmission:

Allows each IC128CMM128 to send 693 bytes of transmitted and 302 bytes of received global data.

Supports PLC registers such as Global Registers (%G), Discrete Inputs (%I), Discrete Outputs (%Q), Analogue Inputs (%AI), Analogue Outputs (%AQ) and Register Memory (%R).

Protocol Support: Provides Genius protocol connectivity and supports multiple communication protocols for easy connection and communication with other devices and systems.

Diagnostic Functions: Supports software-based diagnostics such as status bits and 90-70 PLC series fault reports, which help to quickly locate and solve problems.

Environmental and Mechanical Characteristics

Operating Temperature: 0°C to +60°C (+32°F to +140°F).

Storage temperature: -25°C to +70°C (-13°F to +158°F).

Humidity: 5% to 95% (non-condensing).

Mechanical ratings: Includes 0.2’ displacement 5Hz to 10Hz and 1G 10Hz to 200Hz operating vibration, and 5G 10ms duration operating shock.

Applications and Installations

Primary Use: Mainly used for exchanging global data, but also handles data monitoring from industrial or personal computers, point-to-point and master-slave communications between bus devices, and data monitoring from Genius I/O modules (note that the communication module cannot control these I/O modules).

Installation Recommendations: It is recommended to be mounted on the CPU baseboard of the host PLC system for most efficient operation, but it can also be mounted on a remote baseboard of the same system or on an expansion baseboard. However, it cannot be installed in a PLC with a conventional Genius communication module or GCM.

Compatibility

In addition to Series 90-30 PLCs, the module can be used with Series 90-70, Series VI PLCs, and Genius Handheld Monitors (HHMs) for local configuration.
