Technical FAQs
1. What is the primary function of the GE IC693CMM321-JJ?
The IC693CMM321-JJ is an Ethernet communication module that enables GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLCs to communicate over Ethernet TCP/IP networks with PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, and host computers.
2. Does the module support both client and server communications?
Yes. It operates as both an Ethernet client and server. As a client, it initiates communications using the COMMREQ function block, while as a server it responds to requests from external devices.
3. How many simultaneous Ethernet connections are supported?
The module supports up to 16 simultaneous server connections, making it suitable for communication with multiple industrial devices at the same time.
4. Which PLC family is compatible with this module?
The IC693CMM321-JJ is designed exclusively for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC platform.
5. What communication ports are available?
The module provides one AAUI Ethernet port, one RS-232 Station Manager port (RJ-11), and one RS-485 Software Loader port.
6. What Ethernet speed does the module support?
The Ethernet interface supports 10 Mbps Ethernet (10Base5/10Base2/10BaseT through an external AAUI transceiver) for industrial networking applications.
7. Can two Ethernet modules be installed in one PLC system?
Yes. Up to two IC693CMM321 modules can be installed in a compatible Series 90-30 baseplate, depending on the system configuration.
8. Does the module include diagnostic features?
Yes. Four front-panel LEDs (OK, LAN, SER, and STAT) provide operating status and communication diagnostics for troubleshooting and maintenance.
9. Is an external Ethernet transceiver required?
Yes. The AAUI network interface requires an external Ethernet transceiver and AAUI cable for connection to the Ethernet LAN.
