PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC693CPU323 is a Series 90-30 baseplate featuring an embedded turbo CPU. The controller runs on an 80188 microprocessor with a 10 MHz clock speed. It provides 10 standard I/O module slots and one dedicated power supply slot. The embedded processor executes Boolean logic at a typical scan rate of 0.6 milliseconds per 1K. It includes 12 Kbytes of user memory for logic programming and system registers. Memory is battery-backed via the connected power supply module.
The baseplate supports up to 320 discrete I/O points alongside 64 analog input words and 32 analog output words. It manages 340 internal timers and counters while supporting shift register instructions. A built-in serial port on the power supply interface supports SNP slave and SNP-X slave protocols. The unit requires 430 milliamps from the +5VDC bus power supply. The baseplate is non-expandable and does not interface with expansion or remote racks. Direct panel mounting holes provide secure physical installation.
