GE IC693CPU363 Single‑Slot High‑Performance CPU Module for Series 90‑30 PLC Systems

Product Overview

The IC693CPU363 is a single‑slot modular CPU module from GE Fanuc (now part of Schneider Electric) for the Series 90‑30 PLC platform, powered by a 25 MHz 80386EX 32‑bit processor. It has 240 KB user program memory, a 0.22 ms/1K Boolean scan rate, and supports up to 8 baseplates (1 CPU + 7 expansion/remote). The module provides 2048 discrete I/O points each, 2048 analog input words, 512 analog output words, and 32‑bit floating‑point math. It features three serial ports (2 onboard + 1 via power supply) with SNP/SNP‑X master/slave and RTU slave protocols, enabling seamless programming, diagnostics, and HMI/SCADA integration. Compatible with PCM/CCM specialty modules, it serves as a scalable core for medium‑to‑large automation systems requiring high processing performance and flexible expansion. RAM is backed by a battery for program/data retention during power loss.
