GE IC694DSM324 Motion Controller Module

Overview

The GE IC694DSM324 is a four-axis motion controller module designed for PACSystems RX3i and Series 90-30 automation systems. It delivers precise, high-speed control of servo axes and integrates seamlessly with host controllers. The module supports electronic CAM functions, synchronous digital outputs, and local high-speed logic processing. It also supports multiple communication protocols, including Ethernet, Modbus TCP/IP, and serial RS-232/RS-485. Additionally, it allows hot swapping and mounts easily on main, expansion, or remote racks.
