Profibus-DP Fieldbus Communication Solution – GE HE693PBS105 | Series 90-30
Where This Product Is Used
The GE HE693PBS105 Profibus-DP Slave Module is engineered for industrial environments that demand deterministic, high-speed fieldbus communication between a GE Series 90-30 PLC host rack and distributed field devices. Typical deployment scenarios include:
- Automotive Assembly Lines – Coordinating robot controllers, servo drives, and vision systems over a single Profibus-DP network, eliminating point-to-point wiring and reducing commissioning time.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment Plants – Integrating variable-frequency drives (VFDs), flow meters, and valve actuators into a centralized SCADA architecture via Profibus-DP.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – Enabling GMP-compliant process control by linking GE Series 90-30 PLCs to Profibus-certified sensors and actuators in clean-room environments.
- Oil & Gas Upstream/Midstream – Connecting remote I/O panels and field instruments to a host PLC across long cable runs in hazardous-area installations.
- Food & Beverage Processing – Synchronizing conveyor drives, filling machines, and packaging lines through a noise-immune Profibus-DP backbone.
- Power Generation & Utilities – Interfacing GE PLCs with protection relays, energy meters, and switchgear controllers in substation automation projects.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Seamless Series 90-30 Integration – Plugs directly into any Series 90-30 rack slot; no external power supply or gateway required.
- Auto Baud-Rate Detection – Eliminates manual DIP-switch configuration; the module synchronizes to the master’s baud rate automatically from 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps.
- Large I/O Data Window – Supports up to 244 bytes in each direction, accommodating complex drive parameter exchanges and multi-axis position data.
- Proven Fieldbus Reliability – Profibus-DP’s token-passing protocol delivers cycle times under 1 ms at 12 Mbps, critical for motion-control and safety-interlock applications.
- Reduced Wiring Cost – A single twisted-pair bus cable replaces hundreds of discrete I/O wires, cutting material and labor costs by up to 40% on large installations.
- Long Cable Reach – Profibus-DP supports segment lengths up to 1,200 m at 93.75 kbps, suitable for large plant floors and outdoor installations with repeaters.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the HE693PBS105 act as a Profibus-DP Master?
A: No. The HE693PBS105 is a DP Slave module only. For master functionality within a Series 90-30 rack, use the GE IC693CMM321 Communications Co-processor configured as a Profibus-DP master.
Q: Is this module compatible with Series 90-70 or PACSystems RX3i racks?
A: No. The HE693PBS105 is designed exclusively for the GE Series 90-30 backplane. It is not mechanically or electrically compatible with Series 90-70 or RX3i racks.
Q: What GSD file is required for the Profibus master configuration?
A: The GSD file (device description file) for the HE693PBS105 is available from GE Automation & Controls documentation. Contact us and we will provide the correct GSD file for your master configuration tool.
Q: Can I use this module in a Profibus-PA network?
A: No. Profibus-PA requires a segment coupler/link device. The HE693PBS105 communicates on Profibus-DP (RS-485 physical layer) only.
Q: What is the maximum number of HE693PBS105 modules per Series 90-30 rack?
A: Up to the available rack slots (maximum 11 I/O slots in a 12-slot baseplate), subject to the CPU’s total I/O module count limits as defined in the Series 90-30 PLC User’s Manual (GFK-0356).
Q: Do you offer expedited shipping for urgent plant shutdowns?
A: Yes. We offer DHL Express, FedEx International Priority, and UPS Worldwide Express options. Contact us at +0086 19859288691 for same-day dispatch arrangements.
