GE IC693CMM311 Communications Module (CCM) – GE Series 90-30 PLC
Imagine a critical production line where your SCADA system loses the ability to poll field data from the PLC — alarms go unacknowledged, operators fly blind, and every minute of downtime translates directly into lost revenue and potential safety incidents. In modern industrial automation, the communications module is not a peripheral accessory; it is the nervous system that keeps every layer of the control hierarchy synchronized. Without a reliable, protocol-compatible communications interface, even the most powerful PLC becomes an isolated island of logic, unable to report, respond, or integrate.
The GE IC693CMM311 is the dedicated Communications Coprocessor Module (CCM) engineered for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC platform — one of the most widely deployed mid-range PLC families in global discrete and process manufacturing. The IC693CMM311 simultaneously supports RTU (Remote Terminal Unit), SNP (Serial Network Protocol), and SNPx (SNP Extended) protocols, making it the go-to solution for integrating Series 90-30 controllers into legacy SCADA networks, DCS architectures, and modern IIoT gateways. Its proven track record across power utilities, water treatment, oil & gas, and automotive assembly plants has cemented its position as a mission-critical component in the global industrial automation supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Is the IC693CMM311 compatible with all Series 90-30 CPUs?
- A: The IC693CMM311 is designed for the GE Series 90-30 platform and is compatible with the majority of 90-30 CPU modules. We recommend verifying compatibility with your specific CPU firmware revision. Contact our team for confirmation.
- Q: What is the difference between SNP and SNPx protocols?
- A: SNP (Serial Network Protocol) is GE’s standard serial communications protocol for Series 90 PLCs. SNPx (SNP Extended) is an enhanced version that supports additional data types and larger data transfers, commonly used with newer SCADA and HMI drivers.
