Powered by an Intel 80188 microprocessor running at a 10 MHz clock speed, this module offers a solid, cost-effective processing engine for small-to-medium industrial applications. It features 16 Kbytes of battery-backed user program memory, a swift typical scan rate of 0.4 milliseconds per 1K of Boolean logic, and a built-in serial port supporting SNP\/SNP-X slave communication protocols. Weighing approximately 0.35 kg (0.77 lbs), this compact modular CPU easily slides into Slot 1 of any standard 5-slot or 10-slot Series 90-30 CPU baseplate, making system scaling straightforward and efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCore Technical Advantages\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible I\/O Addressing Grid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seamlessly coordinates up to 512 discrete inputs, 512 discrete outputs, 128 words of analog inputs, and 64 words of analog outputs to handle mixed-signal automation cells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOnboard System Diagnostics \u0026amp;

It is fully compatible with both 5-slot (IC693CHS397) and 10-slot (IC693CHS391) CPU baseplates. Fully isolate power to the rack before sliding the module into its alignment tracks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMemory Backup Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Out of the box, user program files are stored in volatile RAM backed up by the power supply battery. For long-term non-volatile storage, consider installing an optional EEPROM or EPROM chip directly into the CPU board socket to prevent code loss during prolonged power outages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComm Interface Wiring:\u003c\/strong\u003e The CPU’s built-in serial port does not reside on the card itself; it is routed to the 15-pin D-shell connector found on the system's Power Supply module. If your project demands multi-point master communication (such as Modbus RTU or CCM), integrate a dedicated CMM (IC693CMM301) or PCM module.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical FAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ1: There are some references listing the operating temperature up to 140°C. Is that correct?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA1: That is actually a classic datasheet unit typo! The true operating temperature range for the IC693CPU331 is 32°F to 140°F, which translates to a standard industrial range of 0°C to 60°C. Operating the module anywhere near 140°C would instantly destroy the circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ2: Can I program or monitor this PLC using standard Modbus RTU out of the box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA2: No, the built-in serial port on the power supply only supports SNP and SNP-X slave protocols. To run Modbus RTU or act as an SNP\/SNP-X Master, you will need to add a Coprocessor\/Communications Control Module (like the IC693CMM301) or a Programmable Coprocessor Module (PCM).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ3: Does the lightweight 0.35 kg construction affect its mechanical resilience in heavy-vibration environments?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA3: Not at all. The 0.35 kg form factor is designed to lock securely into the baseplate rails using positive-locking plastic tabs. This ensures the electrical backplane connections remain highly robust and completely seated, even under continuous industrial vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"General Electric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51050827481220,"sku":"IC693CPU331","price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/7454\/7844\/files\/IC693CPU331-1.jpg?v=1784202009","url":"https:\/\/www.etowonauto.com\/de\/products\/ic693cpu331-ge-fanuc-series-90-30-10mhz-plc-processor","provider":"Etowon Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
