GE IC693CMM321 Ethernet Interface Module

GE IC693CMM321 Ethernet Interface Module

Basic Specifications

Model Number: IC693CMM321

Manufacturer: GE Fanuc

Series: 90-30 Series

Power: 24 V DC

Dimensions: Typically around 85 mm x 28 mm x 17 mm (though some sources may list different dimensions)

Weight: Approximately 0.1 kg (though some sources may list a heavier weight)

Connectivity and Ports

Ethernet Port: One AAUI port for network connectivity.

RS-232 Serial Port: One RJ-11 serial port used as the Station Manager port.

RS-485 Serial Port: One 15-pin D-sub serial port used as the Software Loader port.

Features and Functionalities

LED Indicators: The module is equipped with LED indicators (OK, LAN, SER, and STAT) that allow users to monitor the operation of each port and the overall status of the module.

Server Connections: Supports up to 16 server connections.

Communication Protocols: Supports SRTP (Service Request Transport Protocol), a common Ethernet-based communication protocol used in GE PLCs for data interaction between PLCs or between PLCs and configuration software, HMIs, etc.

Interfacing: Can be interfaced with various programming software such as Logicmaster 90-30 version 6.01 or higher, Control version 2.01 or higher, or VersaPro version 1.0 or higher for configuration and programming.

Compatibility and Usage

CPU Compatibility: Ideally used with CPU versions 6.50 or higher to access all features. It can still be used with CPU versions 5.03 to 6.04, but with limited Ethernet operation to one SRTP server connection.

Installation: The module is installed in a modular fashion within the PLC rack.

Applications: Suitable for industrial automation environments requiring robust Ethernet communication capabilities.

Additional Notes

Maintenance and Troubleshooting: The module's LED indicators and built-in diagnostics facilitate easy maintenance and troubleshooting.

Safety and Reliability: GE Fanuc modules are known for their reliability and integration into safe PLC/DCS and safety networks, offering benefits such as integrated and flexible mechanical control, easy fault diagnosis, convenient maintenance, and cost reduction.
