GE Fanuc IC693CPU360 High-Performance CPU Module – Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller
When a CPU module fails on the production floor, the consequences are immediate and severe: assembly lines halt, batch processes abort mid-cycle, and every minute of unplanned downtime translates directly into lost revenue and missed delivery commitments. In high-demand manufacturing environments — from automotive stamping plants to pharmaceutical packaging lines — the CPU is the brain of the entire control system. Without a reliable, compatible replacement like the GE Fanuc IC693CPU360, restoring operations can take hours or even days, compounding losses far beyond the cost of the module itself.
The IC693CPU360 occupies a pivotal position within the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC family — one of the most widely deployed programmable logic controller platforms in North American and global industrial automation. As a mid-to-high-range CPU within the 90-30 lineup, the IC693CPU360 delivers 360KB of user memory and a logic scan speed of 0.3ms per 1K of logic, making it the preferred choice for applications demanding fast cycle times and substantial program capacity. Its proven architecture and broad I/O compatibility have made it a cornerstone of control systems across discrete manufacturing, process control, and infrastructure automation worldwide.
