Description
The GE Fanuc IC693CMM321 is an Ethernet Interface module.
By implementing this module in a Series 90-30 PLC system, users can connect it to an Ethernet LAN. This is achieved through an AAUI cable and an external transceiver.
This set-up enables the PLC system to communicate with hosts and also other control devices that are on the network.
Ethernet Interface Module
The Ethernet Interface module (IC693CMM321) provides an interface that allows you to attach the Series 90-30 PLC to an Ethernet LAN via an external transceiver and AAUI cable, and to communicate with hosts and other control devices on the network.
The Ethernet Interface for the Series 90-30 PLC has client/servercapability.
As a client it can initiate communications with other PLCs containing Ethernet Interfaces.
As a server it responds only to requests from other devices such as a Host computer running a Host Communications Toolkit application or another Series 90-30 PLC acting as a client.
The Ethernet Interface allows you to:
- Directly attach your PLC to an Ethernet network
- Initiate transfer of data to the PLC from another device
- Communicate simultaneously to multiple devices with up to 16 server connections
- Interface with other GE devices, as well as with devices from other vendors
- Communicate from a Host computer (or other control device)
- Diagnose and maintain your system using diagnostic and station management tools
