FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IC693CPU363 is a Single Slot CPU Module manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark II Series used in GE Speedtronic Control Systems. This module features three communication ports and offers flexible protocol support, including SNP/SNP-X Master CCM as well as RTU Slave functionality. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with a variety of industrial automation systems, enabling reliable and efficient data communication. The module provides user-programmable memory, with the actual available capacity depending on the configuration of memory types such as R (Register), AQ (Analog Output), and AI (Analog Input). The total programmable memory can reach up to 240KB, allowing ample space for application-specific logic and data handling.

DISCRETE I/O MODULE CONNECTION METHODS:

For modules with 16 points or less, the standard method is to use the removable terminal board that comes with these modules. The removable terminal board makes it easy to prewire field wiring to the user-supplied input and output devices and to replace modules in the field without disturbing existing field wiring.

Some discrete 16-point I/O modules can be used with an optional Terminal Block Quick Connect (TBQC) assembly. This assembly contains a module faceplate with a built-in connector that replaces the removeable terminal board. The assembly also contains a DIN-rail mounted terminal block and a cable to connect the module to the terminal block. The advantage of this method is that it saves about two hours of wiring time per module compared with hand wiring from a module’s removable terminal board to a user-supplied, panel-mounted terminal block or strip.

CONNECTIONS TO I/O MODULE TERMINAL BOARDS:

Series 90-30 PLC I/O terminal boards have either 10 or 20 screw terminals that will accept from two AWG #22 (0.36 mm2) to two AWG #16 (1.3 mm2), or one AWG #14 (2.1 mm2) copper 90C (194F) wire(s). Each terminal can accept solid or stranded wires, but the wires in any given terminal should be the same type (both solid or both stranded) to ensure a good connection. Wires are routed to and from the terminals out of the bottom of the terminal board cavity. The suggested torque for the I/O terminal board connection screws is from 9.6 in-lbs to 11.5 in-lbs (1.1 - 1.3 Newton-meters). For 24-volt DC input modules, an internal 24-volt power connection is provided on the terminal board to supply a limited number of input devices.

TERMINAL BLOCK QUICK CONNECT INSTALLATION FOR 16-POINT DISCRETE MODULES:

• Remove the standard terminal board from the module.
• Install the TBQC faceplate (it has a 24-pin connector).
• Mount the TBQC terminal block. It has a 24-pin connector and a terminal strip, and mounts on a standard 35 mm DIN-rail.
• Connect a TBQC cable between the TBQC faceplate connector on the module and the connector on the TBQC terminal block.
• Wire I/O devices to the terminal block.
