GE IC693APU300 Series 90-30 High-Speed Counter Module

Number of output channels is 4 positive logic outputs. Output ratings are 10 to 30 VDC at 500 mA maximum, or 4.75 to 6 VDC at 20 mA maximum. Maximum count rate is 200 kHz. Backplane current draw is 250 mA at 5 VDC. Isolation is 250 VAC. Counter modes include up, down, bi-directional, and differential.

On-board processing senses inputs, executes counts, and triggers integrated outputs without waiting for the CPU scan. Twelve configurable inputs support 5 VDC or 10-30 VDC operation via jumper settings. Four integrated outputs provide direct control based on count values. Multiple operational profiles allow configuration as a single complex counter, two identical complex counters, or four independent simple counters. Short-circuit protection on outputs enhances reliability.

200 kHz maximum count rate handles high-frequency pulse inputs. Sub-millisecond response times ensure critical control actions. 250 mA backplane current consumption is efficient for the processing capability provided.

Industrial housing with high-speed counter processors, input conditioning circuits, output drivers, and backplane interface.

Standard Series 90-30 single-slot module. LED indicators include BOARD OK and CONFIG OK. Input and output terminals for field device connection.

The module receives pulse signals from encoders or sensors on its input channels. Internal high-speed counters increment or decrement based on the input state and configured mode. When

Install in Series 90-30 baseplate. Configure input voltage via jumpers for 5 VDC or 10-30 VDC. Connect encoder or sensor signals to input terminals. Wire output devices to output terminals. Program count presets and modes via configuration software.

Verify input signal voltage matches the jumper configuration. Do not exceed 200 kHz input frequency. Use shielded cables for encoder signals to prevent noise-induced count errors. Ensure proper grounding of the module and signal sources.
