Specifications

Description

The IC693CPU372 Central Processing Unit belongs to GE Fanuc Series 90-30 line of CPUs. It is a single-slot CPU module with an embedded Ethernet interface. It is based on a 386EX processor that can provide fast computation and increased functionality. The IC693CPU372 Central Processing Unit can handle up to 4096 I/O discrete points, 2048 analog input points, and 512 analog output points. This module is compatible with a range of field busses and device networks such as the Genius, Profibus-DP, DeviceNet, Interbus-S, and CsCAN networks. Its internal power requirement is 1.4 Amps at 5 Volts DC. It has 0.15 microseconds of rated execution time per Boolean instruction.

The IC693CPU372 Central Processing Unit is embedded into the backplane. It has built-in 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, one RS-485 port, an STRP channel, and web diagnostic facilities. This CPU module supports a variety of communication option modules including the Serial-SNP, SNPX, RTU and CCM, LAN-Genius, and Ethernet Modbus TCP Client/Server modules. It comes with a battery-backed clock. It does not support a hand-held programmer module. The type of memory storage available in this IC693CPU372 module is RAM or Flash memory. Its processor speed is 133 megahertz and the processor is an AMD SC520 processor. There are 8 total baseplates per system with 1 CPU baseplate and 7 expansion baseplates. It has communication and programmable coprocessor compatibility. The configuration and programming of the CPU module can be done through the Proficy Machine Edition Logic Developer software package. The CPU supports hardware floating-point math and can be used for entry-level applications with low I/O counts.

Applications

Automotive powertrain plant: Manages the interlocking logic between multiple robots and achieves high-speed data synchronization with the host computer.

Fine chemical and pharmaceutical plants: Handles multi-loop PID control (such as temperature, pressure, and proportioning control) to ensure precise repeatability of production processes.

Large-scale water conservancy and power monitoring: Serves as the core node of a distributed control system, enabling microsecond-level data sharing among multiple PLCs via EGD (Ethernet Global Data).

Paper and high-speed packaging lines: Handles high-speed counting and cutting logic requiring extremely short scan cycles.

CPU Operational Notes

1 Battery backup limitations

The expected life of a standard Series 90-30 3-volt lithium battery used to back up a CPU372 is 1.2 months when used continuously. If a longer battery backup period is required, the external battery module (IC693ACC302) is available. The extended battery module provides a nominal battery backup period of 15 months for the CPU372. See GFK-2124 for additional information.

2 Overrides not stored to flash or EZ Program Store Device

When storing reference data to flash or the EZ Program Store Device, overrides are not stored. This means that after the reference data is read back from flash or the EZ Program Store Device and subsequently the PLC is put into Run Mode, the logic may execute differently. Therefore, overrides should not be used if reference data is stored to flash or to the EZ Program Store Device. If overrides are used, particular care should be taken to prevent loading reference data from flash at power up. If this precaution is not observed, unexpected operation may occur upon power cycle.

3 Writing flash using a serial programmer

When writing very large programs to flash memory, you may need to increase the request timeout value in the programming software to avoid receiving a request timeout message. An upper bound of 25 seconds is typically satisfactory. For further details, see the “Ethernet Operational Notes” item “Store of Program or Reference Tables to Flash may Cause Loss of Ethernet Communications”

FAQ

Q: What is an IC693CPU372?

A: The IC693CPU372 is a single-slot Central Processing Unit with an embedded Ethernet interface. It serves as the "brains" of the PLC where most calculations take place.

Q: What is the processor speed for IC693CPU372?

A: 133 MHz

Q: What is the total user memory for IC693CPU372?

A: 120 KB

Q: Is there anything recommended for this processor?

A: Yes, because the built-in battery lasts only 1.2 months during a continuous power outage, an IC693ACC302 external battery is recommended.

Q: Are there built-in serial ports on IC693CPU372?

A: No

Q: Does IC693CPU372 support the Hand Held Programmer?

A: No
