The GE Fanuc IC693CMM321-EF is a Factory LAN TCP/IP Ethernet Interface Module designed for use with Series 90-30 PLC systems. It enables Ethernet-based communication over standard TCP/IP networks, supporting SRTP communication between compatible Series 90 PLCs and other supported automation controllers.
This module is used to connect a PLC rack to an Ethernet local area network, allowing industrial controllers, programming stations and supervisory systems to exchange data efficiently. The IC693CMM321-EF provides a practical networking option for automation installations that require PLC communication across plant networks, production lines or machine control systems.
Suitable for industrial control environments, the IC693CMM321-EF is installed within a compatible IC693 PLC rack and requires appropriate configuration before network operation. It is commonly used in manufacturing, process control, machine automation and factory communications applications where reliable PLC-to-network connectivity is required.

What type of module is this?
This is a Factory LAN TCP/IP Ethernet interface module for the Series 90-30 PLC platform. It is used to connect compatible PLC systems to an Ethernet LAN for industrial data communications.
What communication functions does the module provide?
The module provides TCP/IP Ethernet communications and can be used for SRTP-based communication between compatible PLC equipment. It is also associated with Modbus/TCP master and slave communication functions within the CMM321 Ethernet interface range.
Which PLC platform is this module intended for?
IC693CMM321-EF is intended for use with the IC693 Series 90-30 PLC platform. It is designed as an Ethernet communications interface for systems using compatible IC693 CPUs and racks.
What power supply requirements should be considered?
The Ethernet interface requires a compatible Series 90-30 PLC power supply, such as IC693PWR321 revision K or later, IC693PWR322, or IC693PWR330. Its power consumption is listed as 700 mA at +5 VDC.
How is the module initially given an IP address?
Before the module can operate on an Ethernet network, a valid IP address must be configured. Initial addressing can be carried out through the PLC CPU serial port or via the module’s Station Manager port using the appropriate command method.
Can a hand-held programmer be used to configure the Ethernet interface?
No. The IC693PRG300 hand-held programmer should not be used to configure or read the configuration of this Ethernet interface, as doing so may cause incorrect module-loss entries or unexpected behaviour in the PLC fault table.
What CPU compatibility should be checked before installation?
For full operation, the associated IC693 CPU should be at revision level 6.50 or later. Restricted operation is noted with earlier compatible CPU revisions, but Ethernet programming functions require CPU revision 6.50 or later.
Can the module be installed in an expansion or remote rack?
With CPU revisions earlier than 6.50, the Ethernet interface should be installed in the main PLC rack, Rack 0, which contains the CPU. Expansion or remote rack use depends on the CPU revision and overall system configuration.
Which TCP ports are relevant for communication?
The SRTP server listens on TCP port 18245. The Modbus/TCP server listens on TCP port 502. These port numbers are important when planning network access rules and PLC communications.
What happens if another device uses the same IP address?
Duplicate IP addressing on the same network can disrupt communication and may lead to PLC fault table messages such as a bad remote application request. Each Ethernet interface should have a unique and correctly assigned IP address.
