GE Fanuc IC693CPU351 Central Processing Unit – Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller
When a CPU module fails on the production floor, the entire line stops. Conveyors freeze, robotic arms halt mid-cycle, and every idle minute translates directly into lost revenue and missed delivery commitments. In high-stakes industrial environments — automotive assembly, food processing, water treatment, or discrete manufacturing — the GE Fanuc IC693CPU351 is not simply a component; it is the brain that keeps operations alive. Without it, your Series 90-30 system is inoperable.
The IC693CPU351 occupies a critical mid-range position within GE Fanuc’s legendary Series 90-30 PLC family — a platform that has powered industrial automation globally for decades. Offering expanded memory, faster scan times, and robust I/O handling compared to entry-level CPUs in the same series, the IC693CPU351 became the preferred choice for system integrators and OEMs requiring reliable, deterministic control without the overhead of high-end rack systems. Its installed base spans tens of thousands of machines worldwide, making it one of the most sought-after legacy CPU modules in the industrial MRO market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the IC693CPU351 still in production by GE Fanuc?
A: The IC693CPU351 has been discontinued by GE (now part of Emerson / Movicon ecosystem under the GE Vernova brand). However, it remains widely available as new-surplus and refurbished stock. Konmask.com maintains sourcing channels to support ongoing MRO demand.
Q: What is the difference between IC693CPU351 and IC693CPU352?
A: The IC693CPU352 offers expanded user memory (16K words program / 16K words data) compared to the IC693CPU351 (12K/12K). Both are pin-compatible and use the same rack and power supply. The CPU352 is a direct upgrade path if your application requires additional memory capacity.
Q: Can I use Proficy Machine Edition to program the IC693CPU351?
A: Yes. While the IC693CPU351 was originally programmed with Logicmaster 90-30, it is fully compatible with GE Fanuc Proficy Machine Edition (PME) using the Series 90-30 target type. Ensure you have the correct hardware configuration file (HWC) loaded.
Q: Do you provide a warranty on this module?
