Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether IC693DNM200 is the right module for your application:
- Step 1 – Confirm PLC Platform: Verify your rack is Series 90-30. IC693DNM200 is not compatible with Series 90-70 or PACSystems.
- Step 2 – Count DeviceNet Nodes: If you need >64 nodes, consider a multi-scanner architecture or network segmentation.
- Step 3 – Determine Baud Rate: Match baud rate (125/250/500 kbps) to your existing DeviceNet network configuration.
- Step 4 – Check I/O Volume: Confirm total I/O data does not exceed 512 bytes in / 512 bytes out per scanner.
- Step 5 – Evaluate Alternatives: If migrating to Ethernet/IP, consider IC693CMM321 or PACSystems RX3i with built-in EtherNet/IP.
- Step 6 – Verify Slot Availability: IC693DNM200 occupies one I/O slot in the Series 90-30 rack.
