Product Overview
The GE IC693APU301 is a Motion Mate Axis Positioning Module (APM) designed for the Series 90-30 PLC. It is a high-performance, fully programmable motion control module that can control a single axis of motion for industrial automation applications. This module integrates seamlessly with the Series 90-30 PLC, combining both motion control and PLC logic-solving functions into one system. It offers flexibility by operating in either Standard Mode or Follower Mode and supports up to 10 motion programs stored in the module. This unit is ideal for a variety of motion control tasks, offering reliable and efficient performance.
Key Features
-
Programmable Motion Control: The module can be programmed to control axis motion, handle communications with drives, and operate in integrated systems alongside PLC logic.
-
Dual Operating Modes: It supports both Standard Mode (for integrated control) and Follower Mode (for master/slave motion control).
-
Modular Setup: Compatible with various CPUs in the Series 90-30, supporting up to 3 modules in embedded CPUs or 8 modules in modular CPUs.
