GE IC693APU302 – Series 90-30 Power Mate 2-Axis Positioning Module (APM)

In stock

Product Introduction:

The IC693APU302, originally developed by GE Fanuc and now under Emerson Automation, is an intelligent microprocessor-based motion control module for the GE Series 90-30 PLC platform. It delivers high-precision servo control for two independent axes, integrating seamlessly with PLC logic to handle complex motion tasks. It supports both standard positioning and follower (electronic gearing) modes, making it ideal for synchronized multi-axis applications.
