The GE Fanuc PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is designed with an additional feature that allows it to use the GE Fanuc IC693PIF300 PC interface card (also known as the IC693PIF300 PCIF module) to connect with a desktop PC or laptop and the computer network on which they run. Industrial machine users can use this interface card to monitor and/or control field inputs and outputs from PLC processor systems to interact with a total of up to 1280 bytes of data between the PLC and the PC. With the IC693PIF300 PCIF interface card, up to four GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC extension racks, including remote I/O racks, can be connected to any PC at a time. The connection rack can be placed up to 700 feet (213 m) from the PC where the PCIF module will be installed.
Users can install the IC693PIF300 PC interface card in an available desktop computer expansion slot, which can be any available 8-bit slot for the ISA bus, PC, or AT protocols. You only need to configure it through a compatible third-party software, which is typically used for MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows, or Linux operating systems. Other PLC racks must be connected using GE Fanuc female D25-pin connectors with standard cable connections. The extension wire, including the corresponding connector, can be purchased from GE Fanuc in standard length or cut to the correct size according to the connection needs of the application. The GE Fanuc IC693PIF300 PC Interface card is a low-cost solution for automated processes using legacy equipment and for upgrading control platforms to create better interfaces.
