Product Model: IC693APU302
Product Brand: GE Fanuc / GE Intelligent Platforms
Product Series: Series 90-30
Product Features:
- Dual-axis positioning module (supports two motion axes) for integrated motion and PLC logic.
- Supports Standard and Follower (electronic gearing) modes, enabling master/slave and high-performance servo control.
- Fits into the Series 90-30 I/O rack/backplane and interfaces with compatible CPUs (e.g., CPU 331 or higher allow up to 8 modules) for motion-control expansion.
- Field-proven in servo/drive systems, enables combining logic and positioning tasks in one module – ideal for retrofits when you want to add motion capability without switching platform.
Product Role & System Fit
In many automated systems, you have a need not just for discrete logic (on/off decisions) but for precise motion—servo drives, positioning axes, conveyors, indexing machines, and so on. The IC693APU302 fills that niche within the Series 90-30 family: it is a “motion mate” module, meaning it brings motion/positioning functions into a PLC backbone. With two axes built into a single slot, the IC693APU302 allows you to integrate motion control alongside your logic program, rather than treating motion as a completely separate system.
From a system-fit perspective: you slot the IC693APU302 into your Series 90-30 backplane (either local or remote), wire the module’s connectors to your servo drives or positioning system, and program via the associated motion software (for example VersaPro Motion or LogicMaster/PLC with motion extension). The same controller rack handles logic and motion tasks, simplifying architecture. Because the IC693APU302 supports both standard mode (you issue moves, accelerations, velocities) and follower mode (e.g., electronic gearing where one axis follows another), you get flexibility for different motion contexts.
If your plant already uses Series 90-30 I/O and you decide to add motion axes, the IC693APU302 gives you a retrofit path: you don’t need to rip out your I/O racks, you simply add the motion module and integrate the cables to your drive system. Maintenance teams like this because the interface remains familiar; spare parts, tool chains, diagnostics remain within the same family. However, you must verify that your CPU supports the APM modules (some earlier embedded CPUs might limit the number of APM modules) and your backplane power/slots are sufficient.
In short, the IC693APU302 acts as the motion-control module in the Series 90-30 architecture—bridging logic and drive systems, and enabling higher performance automation without a full platform change.
