GE IC693CPU374-PLUS CPU Module – High-Performance Processor | Series 90-30 PLC Platform
Engineering Background: The GE Fanuc Series 90-30 platform has been a cornerstone of industrial automation since the early 1990s, deployed across power generation, water treatment, automotive assembly, and discrete manufacturing. The IC693CPU374-PLUS represents the enhanced-performance tier of this proven family, delivering expanded memory and faster scan times to meet the demands of complex, multi-loop control architectures.
Product Positioning: Designed for procurement engineers and system integrators who require a drop-in replacement or capacity upgrade for existing Series 90-30 installations, the IC693CPU374-PLUS offers backward compatibility with the full IC693 I/O ecosystem while providing the processing headroom needed for modern SCADA integration and high-density I/O configurations.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The IC693CPU374-PLUS occupies Slot 1 of any Series 90-30 rack. The CPU communicates with local I/O modules via the backplane bus at full scan speed. Remote I/O expansion is achieved through Genius Bus (IC693BEM331) or Ethernet I/O (IC693CMM321), supporting distributed architectures across large plant floors. The dual serial ports allow Port 1 to serve a local HMI (e.g., QuickPanel) while Port 2 maintains a Modbus RTU link to a SCADA host — all without additional communication modules.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the IC693CPU374-PLUS compatible with IC693CPU374 (non-PLUS) programs?
A: Yes. Programs created for the IC693CPU374 can be loaded directly onto the PLUS variant. The PLUS designation indicates enhanced memory capacity; the instruction set is identical.
Q: Can this CPU communicate with a Siemens or Allen-Bradley HMI?
A: Yes, via Modbus RTU on Port 2. Most third-party HMIs support Modbus RTU as a standard driver, enabling cross-brand integration without gateway hardware.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: GE Proficy Machine Edition (PME) v8.0 or later is recommended. Legacy Logicmaster 90-30 software is also compatible for existing program maintenance.
Q: Is a battery required for memory retention?
A: Yes. The IC693ACC301 lithium battery maintains program and data memory during power loss. Battery life is typically 3–5 years in normal operating conditions.
Q: Do you provide a test report or certificate of conformance?
A: Yes. A functional test report and certificate of conformance are available upon request at no additional charge.
