PRODUCT INFORMATIOM: Emerson IC693CPU313P Embedded CPU Baseplate
The Emerson IC693CPU313P (often listed without the "P" suffix) is an embedded CPU module from the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC platform, which is now part of Emerson's portfolio .
It's essentially a complete, compact PLC controller built onto a single baseplate. The "embedded" part of its name means the CPU and memory are permanently integrated into the backplane, making all five available slots free for I/O modules.

Key Parameters
Core Features & Advantages
-
Space-Efficient Integrated Design: The module's standout feature is its unique CPU and baseplate integration. The processor and memory are permanently mounted on the 5-slot backplane . This design means all five slots are available for I/O and option modules, maximizing space utilization compared to modular CPUs that occupy a slot .
-
High-Performance "Turbo" Execution: The 80188 processor operates at 0.6 ms per 1K Boolean logic, a significant performance advantage over standard processors, enabling fast response in high-speed packaging, sorting, and machine control applications . This "Turbo CPU" performance applies to all embedded CPU313 variants .
-
Flexible Communication and Expansion: While the baseplate lacks an expansion connector for remote racks , it supports a wide range of optional communication modules including Ethernet, Profibus, FIP, and Genius . The built-in RS-422/485 port provides local serial connectivity for programming and HMI integration.
-
Optimized Memory Architecture: The module provides 12 KB user program memory with dedicated storage for discrete I/O (160 points), analog I/O (64 words input, 32 words output), register memory (1024 words), and internal coils (1024 bits) , making it well-suited for medium-complexity control applications.
Typical Applications
The IC693CPU313P is widely used as a compact control core in small to medium-sized discrete automation applications , including:
-
Machine Building: Packaging machinery, labeling equipment, and textile machines
-
Material Handling: Conveyor systems, sorting equipment, and palletizers
-
Industrial Facilities: Water treatment control, HVAC systems, and building automation
-
Production Lines: Small-scale assembly and test equipment

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the IC693CPU313P?
A: It is a 5-slot baseplate with an embedded Turbo CPU for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC platform (now part of Emerson). The processor (Intel 80188 @ 10 MHz) is permanently fused to the backplane, leaving all five slots available for I/O modules .
Q2: How much user memory does it have?
A: The module provides a maximum of 12 KB user program memory . (Note: firmware versions prior to Release 7 had 6 KB; newer suffixes like "U" and "V" indicate firmware release 8.40 or later) .
Q3: What is the typical scan rate?
A: 0.6 ms per 1K Boolean logic (using only contacts) . This "Turbo" performance is a key advantage over the older IC693CPU311.
Q4: How many I/O points does it support?
A: Up to 160 discrete inputs and 160 discrete outputs (with 32-point modules), for a total of 160 I/O points . It supports 64 words of analog inputs (%AI) and 32 words of analog outputs (%AQ) .
Q5: What communication ports does it have?
A: One built-in serial port (RS-422/RS-485) accessed via the power supply connector, supporting SNP slave and SNP-X slave protocols . There is no built-in Ethernet; for network connectivity, optional modules like IC693CMM321 (Ethernet) or Profibus/FIP modules are required .
Q6: Can the baseplate be expanded with additional slots?
A: No. This is a fixed 5-slot embedded CPU baseplate with no expansion connector. It does not support expansion racks or remote racks .
Q7: What are the power requirements?
A: The module draws 430 mA at +5 V DC from the power supply. A separate power supply module (e.g., IC693PWR321) must be installed in the leftmost slot .
Q8: What are the operating temperature limits?
A: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) ambient operating temperature .
Q9: Does it have a real-time clock?
A: No. The IC693CPU313 does not include a battery-backed real-time clock (TOD clock); this is available only in higher-end models like the CPU331 and CPU341 .
Q10: What are the memory allocation details?
A: Memory allocation includes :
-
Register Memory (%R): 1024 words
-
Global Memory (%G): 1280 bits
-
Internal Coils (%M): 1024 bits
-
Temporary Coils (%T): 256 bits
-
System Status References (%S): 128 bits
-
Analog Inputs (%AI): 64 words
-
Analog Outputs (%AQ): 32 words
-
Timers/Counters: 170
