Technical Features & Benefits
The IC693CMM321-EF is a versatile Ethernet interface module designed to bring modern network communication capabilities to the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 programmable logic controller family. Unlike basic communication cards, this interface supports both client and server modes, enabling programmable logic controllers to exchange data with multiple devices — such as HMIs, SCADA hosts, or other PLCs — over industrial Ethernet.
One standout benefit of the IC693CMM321-EF is its dual communication flexibility. It combines standard serial ports (RS-232 and RS-485) with high-speed Ethernet connectivity, meaning legacy devices and contemporary networked systems can coexist in the same automation installation without separate gateway hardware.
The module’s TCP/IP support enables real-time data exchange across your industrial LAN. When paired with CPUs running compatible firmware (CPU v6.50 or higher), it can sustain up to 16 simultaneous server connections — a significant asset where multiple supervisory systems or data collectors need concurrent access.
Designed for industrial environments, the IC693CMM321-EF exhibits robust construction and clear status diagnostics. LED indicators for OK, LAN, serial data (SER), and general status (STAT) provide instant visual feedback to technicians during commissioning or troubleshooting. Combined with its backplane power design, efficient integration into control racks is straightforward.
From a usability perspective, this module lets engineers implement network services without modifying basic PLC logic. For example, using standard function blocks like COMMREQ, automation logic can initiate or respond to network transfers, making the IC693CMM321-EF both powerful and adaptable within Series 90-30 architectures.
