The IC693APU301 is an axis positioning module (APM) in the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) family, formerly manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation and now owned by Emerson Automation. The module comes with a single axis control for motion and position control of the servo motor and can be configured in both standard and driven modes. IC693APU301, when configured in standard mode, this APM module combines PLC logic and the high-performance motion control of IC693APU301 to create a single integrated system. It also supports driven mode, where the APU provides high-performance electronic gears for continuous master-slave applications. The module is equipped with one (1) 9-pin D-shell axle port connector and one (1) high-density port for APM connections. It also features LED status indicators such as EN1, EN2, STST, OK and CFG LED. The module is compatible with various cpus, such as CPU 311, CPU 313, and CPU 323, where up to three (3) APM modules can be installed. When used with CPU 331 and later, up to eight (8) APM modules can be installed, with up to three (3) APM module instances per backboard. Motion programs can be developed using the Motion Programmer package and configured using the VersaPro package version 1.1 or later or Logic-Developer PLC. The IC693APU301 module can use a variety of communication cables and has different lengths. These cables include IC693CBL311 (10 ft /3 m); IC693CBL319 (3 ft /1 m); IC693CBL317 (10 ft /3 m) with 8 inch externally shielded pigtails and C693CBL320 (3 ft /1 m) with 8 inch externally shielded pigtails.
The GE Fanuc IC693APU301 Axis positioning module or APM is a single-axis motion control module specifically manufactured for the 90-30 series PLC or programmable logic controller. It is easy to use and is a fully programmable module that allows users to integrate high-performance controls into their PLC systems. The IC693APU301 shaft positioning module can be set to operate in either driven or standard mode. Driven mode provides electronic gears for continuous applications. When the module is used with a 90-30 series PLC, it operates as a combined motion control package. The APM controls the movement of the shaft, and the PLC to which it is connected automatically transmits data between the PLC table and the APM. The IC693APU301 axis positioning module can be installed in any 90-30 series CPU or expansion baseboard. Modular cpus of Model 331 or later can have up to eight APM modules in a system, with up to three APM modules per backboard. The APM Motion Programmer package can generate and store a maximum of 10 motion programs. It has a high-density connector that contains one connector for shaft 1 and another connector for general purpose connections. These high-density connectors are connected to the driver using a short cable with a 24-pin I/O connector. This APM contains logic that compares the actual position of the axis to the programming or command position. The IC693APU301 shaft positioning module provides a real-time interface between the PLC and the servo control shaft. Some of the benefits of using this module include extended application functionality, simplified troubleshooting, and efficient generic input functionality.
