GE IC693CMM302 Series 90-30 Genius Communications Module Plus

Communication protocol is Genius. Data capacity is 1 Kbyte for global data exchange. The module does not support datagram services. Backplane power is 5 VDC. Operating temperature is 0°C to 60°C. The module occupies one slot in the Series 90-30 baseplate.

1 Kbyte global data capacity supports larger data exchanges than the standard 256-bit GCM module. Genius protocol enables deterministic token-passing communication. Global data broadcasting allows PLC-to-PLC data sharing without explicit message instructions. LED indicators provide module and communication status.

PLC-to-PLC data exchange, distributed control systems, manufacturing networks, process control applications requiring global data sharing, and integration with Genius I/O devices.

1 Kbyte data capacity handles substantial global data tables. Deterministic Genius protocol ensures reliable data delivery. Standard Series 90-30 slot compatibility preserves rack space.

Industrial housing with Genius protocol processor, communication transceiver, and backplane interface circuitry.

Standard Series 90-30 single-slot module. Genius bus connector on module face. LED indicators for status monitoring.

The module broadcasts global data from the CPU to other devices on the Genius network and receives global data from other controllers. It manages the Genius protocol stack and token-passing timing for deterministic data exchange.

Install in Series 90-30 baseplate. Connect Genius bus cable to the module connector. Configure global data table size and device address via programming software. Install termination resistors at both ends of the Genius bus.

Verify global data table configuration matches network requirements. Ensure no duplicate device addresses exist on the network. Use shielded twisted-pair cable for the Genius bus. Ground cable shield at a single point. Monitor LED indicators for communication faults.
