IC693CPU340
GE
Overview
The IC693CPU340 is a CPU module from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.
Application & Technical Notes
As a cpu module, the IC693CPU340 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It hosts the application program, executes the control cycle and orchestrates I/O scanning, communication and diagnostics for the station.
Specific electrical and mechanical ratings depend on the exact configuration and suffix of the part; the original datasheet should be consulted for the definitive specification.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Back up the application program and parameter set before any firmware or hardware change; verify the memory/real-time-clock battery where fitted and replace on schedule. Monitor the module health LED and controller diagnostics; plan spares for critical stations to minimise downtime. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the IC693CPU340, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm the CPU matches your GE product portfolio architecture, memory size, firmware revision and any required option/communication modules. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications (source data)
The GE Fanuc IC693CPU340 module is a PLC CPU module. The IC693CPU340 module is based on a 20 Megahertz 80C188XL series microprocessor. Technical specifications for IC693CPU340 Brand GE Fanuc Series Series 90-30 Part Number IC693CPU340 Product type CPU module Clock speed 20 Megahertz Microprocessor 80C188XL Register memory 19.9 kilobytes User program memory 32 kilobytes I/O points 512 Current input 490 milliamps Voltage input 5 Volts DC The IC693CPU340 module is a 20 Megahertz CPU module for the Series 90-30 PLC systems from GE Fanuc. The IC693CPU340 module is based on the 80C188XL processor. The input points and output points supported by the IC693CPU340 module are 512 of each. The total register memory is 19.9 kilobytes. The maximum user program memory is 32 kilobytes. The IC693CPU340 module does not support floating point math. The IC693CPU340 module uses flash memory for user program storage. Flash memory operations, including the read, write, and verify functions, are accessed from the Program Utilities Function menu or from another Program Utilities screen in the Logicmaster 90-30, 20, or Micro programming software. The State Logic Processor (SLP) module is installed in a Series 90-30 PLC ladder logic control system to provide real-time multi-tasking control for machine applications.
The Series 90-30 SLP module can only be installed in a Series 90-30 PLC system that uses a model 331 CPU module, a model 340 CPU module like the IC693CPU340 module, or a model 341 CPU module. The number of 16-channel analog input modules supported by the IC693CPU340 module is 12. The number of 2-channel analog voltage output modules supported by the IC693CPU340 module is 30. The number of 2-channel current output modules supported by the IC693CPU340 module is 15. The number of 8-channel output modules supported by the IC693CPU340 module is 32. The IC693CPU340 module supports 32 high-speed counter modules. The IC693CPU340 module supports 16 I/O processor modules. The current consumption of the IC693CPU340 module is 490 milliamps at 5 Volts DC. The IC693CPU340 module is a modular CPU. GE Fanuc also manufactures embedded CPUs which are comparatively more cost-effective but less powerful than the CPU modules.
