Technical Specifications

  • Slot Configuration:
    • 5 I/O slots for standard 90-30 Series I/O modules or specialized modules (e.g., analog, digital, high-speed counters).
    • 1 dedicated power supply slot (requires a separate power module for operation).
    • 1 expansion port for connecting additional baseplates or remote I/O branches.
  • Physical Dimensions:
    • Width: 10.43 inches (265 mm).
    • Height: 5.12 inches (130 mm).
    • Depth: 5.59 inches (142 mm).

Detailed content

  • Power Requirements:
    • Internal Power Consumption: 170 mA at 5 VDC.
    • Compatible Power Modules: Requires a GE 90-30 Series power supply (e.g., IC693PWR321).
  • Environmental Tolerance:
    • Operating Temperature: -20°C to 70°C (extended range optional).
    • Storage Temperature: -40°C to 85°C.
    • Humidity: 5%–95% non-condensing.
  • Communication:
    • Expansion Cable Length: Up to 50 feet (15 meters) when connecting to a CPU baseplate or other expansion baseplates.

Key Features

  • Modular Expansion: Supports up to 5 I/O modules, allowing flexible configuration for diverse control needs (e.g., discrete, analog, temperature control).
  • Scalability: Enables system expansion by connecting multiple baseplates (up to 4 with CPU 331/340/341; up to 7 with CPU 350 or higher).
  • Robust Design: Built to withstand harsh industrial environments with wide temperature tolerance and resistance to vibration/dust.
  • Easy Installation: Features a 25-pin D-type connector for expansion ports and mounting slots for panel or DIN rail installation.
  • Compatibility: Works seamlessly with GE 90-30 Series CPUs (e.g., IC693CPU331, IC693CPU350) and other modules (e.g., IC693CHS397, IC693CMM311).

Application Scenarios

  • Manufacturing Automation: Controls sensors, actuators, and motor drives in assembly lines, packaging machines, and CNC systems.
  • Process Control: Integrates with temperature/pressure transmitters in chemical processing, water treatment, and power generation plants.
  • Material Handling: Manages conveyor systems, robotic arms, and sorting machines in warehouses and distribution centers.
  • Energy Sector: Regulates valve actuators and turbine controls in oil and gas pipelines or renewable energy systems.
  • Building Automation: Controls HVAC, lighting, and security systems in smart buildings.

Compatibility Notes

  • Unsupported Modules: Cannot accommodate PCM, ADC, BEM, or CMM311 modules.
  • CPU Dependencies: The maximum number of expandable baseplates varies by CPU model (e.g., CPU 331 supports 4, while CPU 352 supports 7).
  • Power Supply: Requires a dedicated GE 90-30 Series power module (e.g., IC693PWR321) installed in the designated slot.
