Product description

The IC693CPU364 is a single socket CPU (from GE Fanuc Series 90-30) with an embedded Ethernet cable and a built-in serial port. This unit is the “brain” of the PLC and is where most calculations take place. See the unit specifications on the IC693CPU364 website page. The standard application of IC693CPU364 is to connect the 9-pin serial port of the computer to the standard Ethernet interface of IC693CPU364 through IC693CBL316. Note that the Ethernet interface of the IC693CPU364 is Ethernet Global Data (EGD). The benefit of this built-in Ethernet interface is that you do not need to use a separate Ethernet module on your device, such as the CMM321. In fact, you can save the PLC slot according to the built-in features of the Ethernet port on the IC693CPU364.

EGD also allows the CPU364 to handle specialized parameters that the HHP configuration mode cannot. Unlike the CMM321, the CPU364 does not require an external transceiver. The CPU364 has a built-in transceiver that can be connected via a 10BASE-T port. However, the CPU364 does offer some additional features that allow you to add an external transceiver. This can be done by bypassing the AAUI port of the internal transceiver. Another benefit of the built-in Ethernet interface is that it can communicate without the use of a PLC backplane, resulting in faster communication speeds than a separate CPU and Ethernet module. Some basic things to note about the IC693CPU364 is that when using the CPU364, you must connect to the frame ground at the slot where it is installed. You can find a ground cable on the device for this purpose.

The CPU364 uses the flash firmware standard and has neither EPROM nor EEPROM. The IC693CPU364 is rated at 1A and uses GE Fanuc Fuse 44A725214-001. The CPU364 has a maximum CPU capacity of 25 MHz and uses an 80386EX processor. There are 2048 input points, 2048 output points. Register memory can be configured between 128 and 32640 words. The CPU364 has firmware based floating point math.

In firmware version 9.1, CPU364 added EGD and configurable name resolution. The CPU364 has four LED lights, an Ethernet restart button, a standard CPU key switch, three port connectors, and a shielded ground strip. The four LED indicators are related to the Ethernet port and PS port. Three indicators are for Ethernet: EOK, LAN, and STAT, and one indicator is for the PS port. The Ethernet restart button has four uses:

LED test

restart

Restart and enter the software loading state

Restart and enter the maintenance state
