The GE Fanuc IC693CMM311E is a communications coprocessor module designed for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLCs. It improves communication capabilities by offloading tasks from the main CPU, enabling more efficient processing and enhancing overall system performance. This module supports multiple communication protocols and can handle various industrial automation communication needs.

Key Features

• Communication Protocols: Supports GE Fanuc CCM, RTU (Modbus), and SNP protocols.
• Serial Ports: Offers two serial ports—one RS-232 and one configurable port that can be set to RS-232 or RS-485.
• Enhanced Communication: Dedicated coprocessor handles communication tasks, freeing up the main CPU for other processes.
• Compatibility: Compatible with Series 90-30 modular CPUs (311, 313, and 323).

Applications

• SCADA Systems: Facilitates communication between PLCs and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for remote control and monitoring.
• Networking: Connects multiple PLCs or other devices in a network for data exchange.
• Data Acquisition: Collects and transfers data from devices to the PLC for processing or storage.
• Modbus Communication: Supports Modbus protocol to interface with devices that use this standard.
