IC693CPU374 Product features and advantages
Highly integrated
The single-slot module integrates Ethernet, multiple serial ports and Genius bus controllers, reducing the need for external communication modules, simplifying system design, and saving costs and space.
Outstanding performance
Fast scanning speed and large user memory, capable of handling complex control algorithms, a large number of I/O points and data logging tasks.
Strong network connectivity
Natively supports multi-layer networks at the enterprise level (Ethernet), device level (Genius Bus), and serial device level, facilitating system integration.
IC693CPU374 System expansion and I/O capabilities
Local backplane expansion
Supports the installation of multiple 90-30 series I/O modules and special function modules on local racks.
Remote expansion capability
By using expansion receiver modules such as IC693BEM331 and expansion cables, remote expansion racks can be connected to further increase I/O capacity.

Core performance parameters
Processor and memory: A high-performance 32-bit processor is adopted.
User logic memory: 256 KB.
User data register memory: 512 KB.
Execution speed: The typical scanning speed is 0.15 milliseconds per thousand Boolean instructions, making it one of the fastest CPUs in the 90-30 series.
Physical specification: Single-slot width design, saving rack space.
Operating temperature: 0°C to 60°C.
3. Built-in communication interface
The IC693CPU374 is renowned for its highly integrated communication capabilities, with its front panel integrating multiple standard ports:
Serial communication Port 1 (Port 1): One RS-232/RS-485 configurable port (9-pin D-sub). It is usually used as a system programming port, supporting SNP protocol connection to programming software (such as Proficy Machine Edition), and can also be configured as a Modbus RTU master or slave station.
Serial communication port 2 (Port 2): One RS-232/RS-485 configurable port (9-pin D-sub). It is usually used as an application port to connect human-machine interfaces, barcode readers, frequency converters or other third-party serial devices, and supports protocols such as SNP, Modbus RTU, and SRTP.
Serial communication port 3 (Port 3): nOneRS-485 port (detachable terminal block). It is usually used as a dedicated communication port and can be applied to CPU-to-CPU SNP network communication.
Ethernet port: A standard 10/100Mbps industrial Ethernet RJ45 port. Supports TCP/IP protocol stack, can run SRTP (GE Fanuc native protocol) and Modbus TCP server functions, facilitating high-speed data exchange with upper computer SCADA systems, other PLCS or Ethernet-supported devices.
Genius Bus port: Built-in Genius bus controller, directly connected via a detachable terminal block. It can directly manage up to 32 Genius bus devices (such as remote I/O substations, frequency converters, sensors, etc.), support bus redundancy, and is a key function for achieving distributed I/O and control.
Typical application fields
Due to its powerful functions, IC693CPU374 is often used in demanding industrial automation scenarios, such as:
Complex large-scale machine control and production line monitoring.
Process control systems (such as in chemical engineering, water treatment, and pharmaceuticals).
Material handling and warehousing automation system.
Factory automation projects that require high-speed data exchange and distributed control.
