GE IC693CMM321-JK Ethernet Interface Module

FAQ

Q1: What is the IC693CMM321-JK used for?
The IC693CMM321-JK is an Ethernet communication module designed for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC. It enables the PLC to communicate with Ethernet networks, SCADA systems, HMIs, engineering workstations, and other controllers using TCP/IP protocols.

Q2: Which PLC systems are compatible with the IC693CMM321-JK?
This module is specifically designed for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC platform. It can also communicate with other GE PLC families and PACSystems controllers that support TCP/IP Ethernet communications.

Q3: What communication protocols does the IC693CMM321-JK support?
The module supports TCP/IP networking, SRTP (Service Request Transfer Protocol), Modbus/TCP, SNP, and Ethernet Global Data (EGD), allowing reliable communication with industrial automation equipment and supervisory systems.

Q4: How many simultaneous Ethernet connections can the module handle?
The IC693CMM321-JK supports up to 16 simultaneous server connections, making it suitable for communication with multiple HMIs, SCADA systems, and PLCs at the same time.

Q5: Does the IC693CMM321-JK include a standard RJ45 Ethernet port?
No. The JK revision uses an AAUI Ethernet interface, which requires an external Ethernet transceiver or media adapter for connection to a standard Ethernet network. Later hardware revisions replaced the AAUI interface with an integrated 10Base-T port.

Q6: What is the purpose of the RS-232 and RS-485 ports?
The RS-232 Station Manager port is used for diagnostics, configuration, and maintenance, while the RS-485 Software Loader port is used for firmware upgrades and module recovery.

Q7: What does the “-JK” revision indicate?
The -JK suffix identifies a specific firmware and hardware revision of the IC693CMM321 module. It corresponds to Firmware Release 3.12 and can be upgraded to later revisions such as -JL using the appropriate field upgrade kit when compatible hardware is installed.

Q8: What should be verified before replacing an IC693CMM321-JK module?
Before replacement, verify the PLC CPU firmware version, Ethernet configuration, AAUI transceiver compatibility, network settings, firmware revision, and rack slot assignment. Confirming these parameters helps ensure seamless communication after installation.
