Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Native SRTP Support: SRTP is GE’s proprietary high-reliability transport protocol, ensuring deterministic, error-checked data exchange between GE controllers — preferred in safety-sensitive applications.
- Modbus TCP Compatibility: Enables seamless integration with third-party HMIs, SCADA servers, and energy meters without protocol converters.
- Drop-in Rack Compatibility: Fits any Series 90-30 5-slot, 10-slot, or expansion rack without hardware modification.
- Dual-Role Operation: Functions simultaneously as both SRTP server and Modbus TCP server, reducing the need for additional communication hardware.
- Proven Field Reliability: Widely deployed in mission-critical industrial sites globally; extensive installed base ensures long-term spare parts availability.
- Standard IT Infrastructure: Uses standard RJ-45 Ethernet — no proprietary cabling or switches required, reducing total cost of ownership.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the IC693CMM321-KM communicate with non-GE PLCs?
A: Yes. Via Modbus TCP, it can exchange data with any Modbus-compliant device including Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Schneider, and third-party HMIs/SCADA servers.
Q: Is this module compatible with Proficy Machine Edition (ME)?
A: Yes. The IC693CMM321-KM is fully configurable within GE Proficy Machine Edition. It also supports legacy VersaPro configuration.
Q: Can I use this module for remote I/O over Ethernet?
A: The IC693CMM321-KM is a communication module, not a remote I/O adapter. For Ethernet-based remote I/O, consider the IC693BEM331 (Genius Bus Controller) or GE’s RX3i Ethernet I/O solutions.
Q: Does it support DHCP or does it require a static IP?
A: Both are supported. The module can acquire an IP address via BOOTP/DHCP or be configured with a static IP address through Machine Edition.
Q: What is the difference between IC693CMM321 and IC693CMM321-KM?
A: The “-KM” suffix denotes a specific firmware/hardware revision. Always verify the exact suffix with your system documentation to ensure compatibility with your existing rack and CPU firmware version.
Q: Can this module be used in a hot-standby redundancy configuration?
A: The Series 90-30 platform supports redundancy via dedicated redundancy modules (IC693RCM300). The CMM321-KM can operate within a redundant rack configuration but is not itself a redundancy controller.
