Engineering Advantages

  • Integrated Communication Backbone: The dual auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports support TCP/IP protocols natively. This allows direct integration into factory LANs for HMI/SCADA data exchange and remote programming without occupying additional I/O slots.

  • Rapid Logic Execution: Utilizing a 133 MHz processor, this CPU achieves a typical scan rate of 0.15 ms per 1K of logic. This deterministic performance ensures high-speed response times for complex motion control and synchronization tasks.

  • Vast Analog Scaling: The module handles a maximum of 32,640 analog inputs and outputs. This makes the IC693CPU372-AE ideal for process control industries where extensive PID loops and sensor monitoring are required.

  • Modular Scalability: Engineers can expand the system using up to seven expansion or remote baseplates. This flexibility allows the CPU to manage centralized or distributed I/O architectures across large machinery or plant sections.

  • Native Floating-Point Support: Hardware-based floating-point math enables the CPU to perform complex engineering calculations and scaling without taxing the primary logic scan, maintaining high stability during intensive processing.

FAQs

  • What is the difference between the IC693CPU372 and the -AE version?

    The "-AE" suffix indicates a specific hardware and firmware revision level. While functionally identical in core logic, the -AE version often includes updated components and firmware enhancements to ensure compatibility with the latest Series 90-30 and PACSystems accessories.

  • Does this CPU module require a specific baseplate?

    Yes. The IC693CPU372-AE must be installed in Slot 1 of a Series 90-30 Universal Baseplate. It consumes a single slot and draws its power directly from the backplane power supply module.

  • Can I use the dual Ethernet ports as a switch?

    The dual RJ-45 ports facilitate easy daisy-chaining or multi-network connections. They support auto-sensing 10BaseT and 100BaseTX, allowing the CPU to adapt to existing network speeds automatically.

  • What software is used to program the IC693CPU372-AE?

    You can configure and program this CPU using GE’s Proficy Machine Edition (PME) or legacy Logicmaster 90-30 software. The module supports remote programming via the integrated Ethernet ports for simplified maintenance.
