The GE Fanuc Emerson IC693CPU311 is an embedded CPU that can be used for the Series 90-30 of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). This five (5) slot baseplate CPU includes an 80188 processor with 10 Megahertz of speed. The IC693CPU311 contains a configurable user program memory of 6 kilobytes. The IC693CPU311 includes EPROM, EEPROM, and RAM to store and save CPU firmware and user data. The IC693CPU311 has 160 discrete input/output connection points and is soldered and stuck on the backplane board in the baseplate. The IC693CPU311 supports many communication protocols such as Ethernet, Profibus, FIP, GBC, GCM+, and GCM modules. The IC693CPU311 has a single serial connector that supports SNP-X and SNP slave protocols. The IC693CPU311 has 170 timers/counters and has 64 words of analog inputs and 32 words of analog outputs.

The IC693CPU311 includes system registers of 16 words. The IC693CPU311 requires a current of 410 milliamperes and a voltage of 5 Volts DC. This CPU has 1 kilobyte of register memory. The IC693CPU311 includes a supercapacitor that has a high value to store sufficient electrical energy to ensure the workability of memory circuits for a short time when the input power is disconnected or the battery is removed. The IC693CPU311 offers a scan rate of 18 milliseconds per one kilo of logic. This CPU has shift registers and can be set using many standard languages. The IC693CPU311 weighs approximately 530 grams (1.16 pounds) while shipping and operates at zero (0) to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) for industrial applications.

The IC693CPU311 is a baseplate with an inbuilt CPU by GE Fanuc's 90-30 Series. The module has dedicated five slots. The baseplate comes with a 6 kilobytes memory for the user programs. The module has a high degree of integration with most of the GE Fanuc 90-30 PLCs. However, it is not fit for some of the PLC devices, namely PCM and CCM. Also, this product does not feature a battery backup clock, interrupt and override features. The five slot base plate with an embedded CPU on it can accept one base plate per system. The load capacity necessary from the +5VDC power supply is 410milliAmps on this base plate. It comes with the 80188 processor type, which has a ten megahertz processor's speed. The baseplate requires 0 to 60 degrees C (32 to 140 degrees F) ambient for operating temperature. In addition, it has 1280 bits of discrete global memory, 128 bytes for internal coils, and 256 bits of temporary output coils. The register memory on this baseplate is equivalent to 512 words and an analog input of 64 words, whereas 32 words of analog output. Although it is not compatible with some PLC devices, it still has shift registers and 170-time counters. The type of supported memory on this baseplate is RAM and Optimal EPROM or EEPROM. This base plate also has a serial port inbuilt. The GE Fanuc 90-30 IC693CPU311 can communicate with the help of multi-drop LAN connection, Profibus, GBM, GCM, and some other popular communication modules.
