PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC693CPU350 is a Series 90-30 processor module designed for modular control systems. This single-slot module installs directly into the local baseplate alongside system power supplies and I/O modules. It manages up to eight baseplates per system. This includes one CPU baseplate and seven expansion or remote baseplates. The processor module incorporates an 80386EX processor operating at a clock speed of 25 megahertz. It executes boolean logic at a typical scan rate of 0.22 milliseconds per 1K of logic.
The IC693CPU350 provides 32K bytes of user memory with RAM and flash storage support. Memory architecture includes 2048 discrete input points and 2048 discrete output points. It handles 2048 analog input words and 512 analog output words. System resources support over 2000 timers and counters along with floating-point math functions. Serial communication is achieved via the power supply RS-485 port supporting SNP and SNP-X slave protocols.
