The IC693CPU363 is manufactured by GE Fanuc. This module is a controller

from the Series 90-30 of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). 

This controller is responsible for executing the user program stored within its user memory

as well as managed communication exchanges between compatible devices such as programming workstations,

Human Machine Interface (HMI), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Databases and other 3rd party hardware and devices.

The IC693CPU363 features a 80386EX processor with clock speed of 25 MHz and typical scan rate of 0.22 ms per 1K of logic for Boolean contacts.

The embedded memory of this controller amounts to 240KB which is internally partitioned

to accommodate different registers and internal functions.

It has Two (2) serial ports, One (1) port having a physical interface of RJ45 while the other port having a 15-pin sub-D connector,

both supporting RS232 and RS485 communication standards.

It also has a tertiary RS485 port which is situated on the power supply.

All these ports allow download, upload of user program, perform commissioning tasks and fine tuning of the program.

These ports operate independently and may be configured for simultaneous operation to accommodate

other data exchange functions such as communication with visualization components.

Other communication protocols supported by the IC693CPU363 are Ethernet, FIP, Profibus, GBC, GCM, GCM+ option modules.

Once programmed by the VMEbus host, the

VMIVME-2540 ICC performs these functions

automatically. The on-board CPU maintains data structures

in shared local memory for buffering measurements and

queueing control commands. Measurement functions are

also supported by a Continuous Measurement Mode in

which measurements are made repeatedly without host CPU

involvement. I/O connections are routed through

high-density connectors located on the front panel with

support for differential and single-ended signal levels. The

user data exchange interface for measurement and

generation modes complies with ANSI/IEEE Standard

754-1985 for 32-bit floating-point arithmetic. Integer modes

operate with two’s complement signed arithmetic and with unsigned arithmetic.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION— The VMIVME-2540 ICC is comprised of three sections: the

VMEbus slave DTB interface which arbitrates for the local

CPU resources, the CPU with firmware and support logic,

and the circuitry which implements the measurement and control functions.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW — The VMIVME-2540

Intelligent Counter/Controller (ICC) is a VMEbus slave I/O

Measurement Functions

Event counting

Frequency measurement

Period/pulse-width measurement

Quadrature position measurement

Generation Functions

Pulse train/square wave generation

Timer/periodic interrupt generation

Frequency division

Quadrature position control

The PACSystems* RX3i CPU can be used to perform real time control

of machines, processes, and material handling systems. The CPU

communicates with the programmer and HMI devices via a serial

port using SNP Slave protocol. It communicates with I/O and smart

option modules over a dual backplane bus that provides:

▪ High-speed PCI backplane for fast throughput of new advanced I/O.

▪ Serial backplane for easy migration of existing Series 90*-30 I/O.
