PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC693CMM321 is an Ethernet Interface Module for the Series 90-30 PLC platform. This unit connects a Series 90-30 baseplate to an Ethernet network for distributed communication. It allows communication with remote supervisory control stations, human machine interfaces, and host systems. The module supports TCP/IP network protocol handling for industrial control operations.
The module features three distinct physical ports for communication, configuration, and diagnostics. Diagnostic LED indicators display the operating status of the module and network interfaces. Users can install up to two interface modules within a single Series 90-30 baseplate. It occupies a single slot and enables simultaneous communication with multiple network devices.
