GE FANUC IC693PCM301 , Programmable Coprocessor Module , Series
90-30
Product Information
General: The IC693PCM301 is a Programmable Coprocessor Module (PCM)
manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc. It is a
high-functioning microcomputer that is compatible with the Series
90-30 Modular CPUs (Programmable Logic Controller system). The
programming languages supported by the IC693PCM301 include Modbus
RTU, GE Fanuc CCM protocols, MegaBasic and C. This version of the
PCM has a total memory of 192K and a user MegaBasic memory of 47K.
Any CPU baseplate slot can host a IC693PCM301 with the exception of
the CPU module's slot 1. Furthermore, a PCM doesn't function within
the Expansion, Remote racks, or the Embedded CPU (CPU311, 313, or
323) rack.
Specific: The IC693PCM301 can be programmed to operate as a one or two
independent CCM ports, a CCM port, and a MegaBasic application
using one serial port or a MegaBasic application using one or both
serial ports. These modules are used for communicating with
programming terminals, CRTs, bar code readers, scales, printers,
ASCII devices, RTU master devices, etc.
Ports: The two ports available on the IC693PCM301 are accessed by a common
connector at the front of the model. IC693CBL305 Wye cables split
out the two PCM port connections from the single connector on the
faceplate. The module has three LED indicator lights. While one
flashes to convey the condition of the module, the other two LED
lights function to indicate activity in the respective ports. The
latter group of indicators are subject to configuration by the
user.
Restart Pusbutton: The restart pushbutton of the IC693PCM301 allows the user to change
the mode of the module between "Run" and "Program".
IC690CBL701/702/705 cables provide a direct RS-232 connection
between the PCM and various programmers’ serial ports. These cables
are not supplied with the PCM modules.
Memory: The RAM memory backup is handled by a lithium battery that is
mounted on the inner side of the module's faceplate. It requires
connection prior to instalment. The battery is to remain connected
as long as the program in RAM memory is to be stored. It is
advisable to disconnect and remove the battery during long term
storage.
