GE IC693CSE313
Product Overview
GE IC693CSE313 is a high-performance communication coprocessor module for the General Electric (GE) Fanuc Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Serving as the network hub of the 90-30 PLC system, this module is specifically designed to handle advanced communication tasks, significantly enhancing the system’s data exchange capability and network integration capability. By running C-language programs on it, GE IC693CSE313 can execute complex data processing, protocol conversion, and communication with third-party devices, thereby reducing the load on the main CPU and optimizing the performance and response speed of the entire control system.
Its core value lies in providing unparalleled communication flexibility and powerful local intelligence. The module supports multiple communication protocols, enabling direct data exchange with various intelligent devices, instruments, barcode readers, weighing systems, etc., to achieve seamless information integration. By running user-defined C-language logic on its independent processor, GE IC693CSE313 can perform tasks such as preprocessing, calculation, and decision-making, and only transmit necessary results to the main CPU, which greatly improves system efficiency and the ability to handle complex applications. It is a key component for building high-performance and highly integrated automation solutions, and is widely used in industrial scenarios that require large amounts of data exchange and complex communication.

Key Features and Advantages
- Powerful Independent Processing Capability: GE IC693CSE313 is equipped with an independent 32-bit processor and 512KB memory, which can run complex C-language programs, execute data preprocessing, protocol conversion, and logical decision-making, greatly reducing the load on the main CPU.
- Excellent Communication Flexibility: The module provides two fully configurable serial ports, supporting multiple electrical standards and communication protocols (including Modbus RTU master/slave stations). It can directly communicate with almost all intelligent devices with serial ports, solving the problem of protocol compatibility in system integration.
- High System Integration: It realizes high-speed data exchange with the main CPU through shared memory, achieving seamless integration with the 90-30 system. Users can directly access the PLC’s %I, %Q, %R, %AI, %AQ and other registers in C programs, simplifying programming and data processing.
- Reliable Industrial Design: Adopting industrial-grade components and design, it can operate stably in harsh industrial environments. The comprehensive self-diagnosis function and status indicator lights enable quick and simple troubleshooting, minimizing system downtime.
Application Fields
The GE IC693CSE313 module is specially designed for 90-30 PLC systems that require complex communication and large amounts of data processing. In the water treatment industry, it is used to integrate a variety of intelligent instruments (such as flow meters, water quality analyzers) for data collection and preprocessing; in the manufacturing industry, it is used to connect barcode scanners, vision systems, and robot controllers to achieve real-time collection of production data and collaborative control of equipment; in logistics automation, it is used to control sorting systems and exchange data with upper computer management systems (such as WMS); in energy management, it is used to read data from various intelligent electricity meters and conduct energy consumption analysis. With its powerful communication capability and local intelligence, GE IC693CSE313 solves the most intractable “information island” problem in automation systems, realizing true system integration and information fusion.
Installation and Maintenance
- Preparation Before Installation: Before installing the GE IC693CSE313 module, it is necessary to ensure that the system power supply is completely turned off and the lockout-tagout procedure is implemented. Confirm that there is an available slot in the 90-30 rack, and check whether the backplane connector is clean and undamaged. Prepare appropriate communication cables and configuration tools.
- Maintenance Recommendations: Regularly check the status indicator lights of the GE IC693CSE313 module to ensure normal operation. Keep the communication ports clean to prevent dust and corrosion. Regularly back up the C-language program code. Monitor the memory usage and communication status of the module through programming software. When a communication failure occurs, first check the cable connection and port configuration, and use terminal software to test the port function. It is recommended to regularly verify the programs in the SRAM to prevent data loss.
