The basics of the Series 90-30 Input and Output (I/O) modules are covered in this
chapter for your convenience. A table listing these modules is located at the end of this
chapter. For detailed specifications and installation instructions, please refer to
publication GFK-0898, Series 90-30 PLC I/O Module Specifications. This chapter also
contains a preliminary description of the IC693DVM300 Digital Valve Driver Module.
Basic I/O Module Types
Discrete Input
Series 90-30 discrete input modules convert AC and DC power levels from user
devices to the logic levels required by the PLC. An optical coupler provides
isolation between the incoming power and the logic circuitry. Discrete input
modules are available that have 8, 16, or 32 points.
Discrete Output
Series 90-30 discrete output modules convert logic levels into AC or DC power
levels required for driving user supplied devices. Either a power semiconductor
or an electromagnetic relay switches each output point. The discrete output
semiconductor-switched modules are available with 5, 8, 12, 16, or 32 output
points. Relay output modules are available with either 8 or 16 Normally Open
relay contact outputs.
Discrete Input/Output
Combination discrete input/output modules combine AC inputs and relay
outputs or DC inputs and relay outputs on one module. Each of these modules
have 8 input circuits and 8 relay output circuits on one board.
Analog Input
Series 90-30 analog input modules provide A/D (Analog to Digital) conversion by
converting an analog input signal into a scaled digital number which will be
transferred into the PLC’s %AI memory. Analog input modules are provided in
four versions, (1) a 4-channel current module, (2) a 4-channel voltage module,
(3) a 16-channel high-density current input module, and (4) a 16-channel
high-density voltage input module.
Analog Output
Series 90-30 analog output modules provide D/A (Digital to Analog) conversion
by converting a scaled digital number (from the PLC’s %AQ memory) into an
analog output voltage. Analog output modules are provided in three versions,
(1) a 2-channel current module, (2) a 2-channel voltage module, and (3) a
high-density current/voltage module with 8 analog output channels.

Analog Combination Module
An analog combination module provides 4 A/D input channels and 2 D/A output
channels on one module. Each of the input and output channels can be
configured individually for current or voltage mode.
Third-Party Modules
In addition to the modules discussed in this chapter, numerous third-party I/O
modules (and other hardware and software products) for the Series 90-30 PLC
are available to meet a wide variety of needs. Third-party companies that meet
GE Fanuc’s standards may apply for recognition under the GE Fanuc
Accompany Program. Details on this program are found in the GE Fanuc
Automation Solutions Catalog, or on the GE Fanuc web site, both listed below.

Discrete I/O Modules
Discrete I/O Module Point Density
There are two density categories for these modules:
Standard Density Modules: Standard density modules have up to 16
circuits (also called “points”) per module. These modules are equipped with
a removeable terminal board. See the following figure.
High Density Modules: High density modules have 32 circuits per module.
These modules have either a 50-pin connector, or two 24-pin connectors
mounted on their faceplates. Connection choices are discussed later in this
chapter.
Standard Density Discrete I/O Module Features
Standard Density(16 points or less) Modules have the following features (refer to the
following figure):
Removeable Terminal Board. You can remove the terminal board from the module
in order to wire it, if desired. Then, when you are finished wiring it, you can easily
reinstall it on the module. However, some prefer to leave it on the module when
wiring. If you ever need to replace a module, you don’t have to do any rewiring if
your old terminal board is still in good condition. Simply remove the wired terminal
board from the old module and install it on the new module. The terminal board
screw terminals are also convenient points for measuring voltages while testing or
troubleshooting.
Hinged Front Cover. The cover is easily opened to access the terminal board
connections. Normally it’s kept closed to protect personnel from accidentally
touching a hot terminal. Note in the following figure that the back side of the front
cover insert contains a schematic diagram of the terminal board connections. The
module catalog number (IC693MDL940 in the example shown) is printed on the
bottom of the front cover insert. The module catalog number is also printed on the
label on the side of the module. However, in order to see this side label, the module
has to be removed from the PLC
On the front side of the front cover insert are lines that correspond to the module’s
I/O points. You can temporarily remove the insert and write the signal name for
each point on the appropriate line, as shown in the example in the figure.
Also on the front side of the front cover insert, running vertically on the left edge of
the insert, is a color bar that identifies the type of module: Blue = DC, Red = AC,
and Gray = Analog.
Module Lens Cap. Located on the top front of the module, it covers the LED (Light
Emitting Diode) status lights . These are labeled in the following figure in two
groups, A1 through A8, and B1 through B8. Since this is a figure of a 16-Point
Output module, there are 16 LED status lights. (The number of status lights on any
given module is a function of the number of circuits points on that module.) If you
compare these status lights to the connection diagram on the back of the hinged
cover, you will notice that the outputs on this module are in two groups, labeled
A1-A8 and B1-B8, that correspond to the A and B rows of status LEDs. Note the
additional LED on the right side of the lens cap that is labeled with the letter F. This
GFK-0356P

is a blown fuse indicator light. This letter F is present on all of the discrete I/O
module lens caps, but is only functional on certain Output Modules that have
internal fuses. It only lights if an internal fuse is blown. A table with a list of
modules having fuses as well as other details about the status LEDs is provided in
Chapter 13 of this manual.

Wiring Standard Density (16-Point or Less) Discrete Modules
There are three basic wiring methods:
Direct Method. Run the wires from the field devices (switches, relays, etc.)
directly to the screws on the modules’ terminal boards.
Terminal Strip Method. Mount a terminal strip inside the control enclosure
and wire from the terminal strip to the modules’ terminal boards. Then
wire field devices to the terminal strip.
Terminal Block Quick Connect Assembly Method. The Terminal Block
Quick Connect Assembly has three pieces: a faceplate, a cable, and a
terminal block. The faceplate snaps onto an I/O module in place of its
normal terminal board. This faceplate has a connector that mates with the
cable. In turn, the cable plugs into a connector on the terminal block. The
terminal block mounts on a DIN-rail in a convenient place in your enclosure.
The terminal block is used for connecting to field devices such as switches
and relays. This method saves, on the average, over two hours of wiring
time per module when compared with the Terminal Strip method. For
more information, see Appendix J, “Terminal Block Quick Connect
Components.”
Discrete Relay Output Module Protection
Output points on discrete relay output modules that switch an inductive load such as a
relay coil, lamp filament, or solenoid coil should have external protection. This is usually
in the form of an R-C (Resistor-Capacitor) network across an AC load, or a reverse-biased
diode across a DC load. Please see GFK-0898, Series 90-30 PLC I/O Module Specifications,
for details.
GFK-0356P

High Density (32-Point) Discrete Module Features
There are two types of these modules. One type has a single 50-pin
connector on its faceplate, the other type has a pair of 24-pin connectors on
its faceplate (see next two figures).
The dual 24-pin type has LED status indicators. The 50-pin type does not.
The LED status indicators are arranged in four groups of eight across,
labeled A, B, C, and D. They are located at the top of the module (see next
figure).
32-point modules are only available in 5, 12, and 24 VDC ratings.
None of the 32-point modules are fused.
These modules are useful in applications where a high count of DC I/O
points is required. The maximum number of I/O points for a Series 90-30
system can be obtained by using a CPU that supports a total of eight 10-slot
racks, and by populating the racks with 32-point modules. The theoretical
maximum number of I/O points possible is calculated by adding the 9
available slots in the CPU rack (the CPU must occupy one slot) to the 70 slots
in the seven 10-slot expansion or remote racks to get a total of 79 slots.
Multiply 79 times 32 for a maximum of 2,528 I/O points (only CPUs 350 -
364 support this many I/O points). Of course, this assumes that every slot is
populated with a 32-point I/O module. Most practical applications require
that you use some slots for option modules, so the number of slots available
for I/O modules will be reduced accordingly.

Modules with Single 50-Pin Connector
Three choices are available for connecting these modules.
Connect to a Weidmuller #912263 terminal block using one of the two GE
Fanuc “extension” cables (see next figure). Cable IC693CBL306 is 3 feet
(1meter) long. Cable IC693CBL307 is 6 feet (2 meters) long. Chapter 10,
“Cables,” has details on these cables.
Connect to a user-supplied terminal block/strip or I/O field devices using
one of the two GE Fanuc “interface” cables. These cables have a 50-pin
connector on one end that plugs into the module, and stripped, tinned leads
on the other for wiring to a terminal block/strip or I/O field devices. Cable
IC693CBL308 is 3 feet (1 meter) long, and cable IC693CBL309 is 6 feet (2
meters) long. These cables are useful if you have to run your wiring
through conduit that is too small for a connector to fit through.
Build a custom length cable. This is required if you need a cable longer than
6 feet (2 meters). See the IC693CBL308/309 data sheet in Chapter 10 for
pin-out details.

Modules with Dual 24-Pin Connectors
Three choices are available for connecting these modules
Connect to a pair of Terminal Block Quick Connect (TBQC) terminal blocks
(IC693ACC337) using a pair of GE Fanuc cables. Three lengths of cables are
available: 20” (0.5 meter), 3 feet (1 meter), 6 feet (2 meters). The cables come
in right hand and left hand types because the connectors on the modules are
oriented differently (see figure 7-2). For details on the terminal blocks and
cables, please see Appendix J.
Connect to user supplied terminal block/strip or directly to I/O field devices
using a pair of 10 foot (3 meter) GE Fanuc interface cables. These cables
have 24-pin connectors on one end for connecting to the module, and
stripped, tinned leads on the other for wiring to a terminalblock/striporI/O
devices. Cable IC693CBL327 is for the left side and IC693CBL328 is for the
right side. These cables are useful if you have to run your wiring through
conduit that is too small for a connector to fit through, or if you need a cable
longer than six feet. Chapter 10, “Cables,” has details on these cables.
Build a custom length cable. This is required if you need a cable longer than
10 feet (3 meters). See the IC693CBL327/328 data sheet in Chapter 10 for
details on building custom length cables.

Wiring Methods for Analog Modules
Twisted, shielded instrumentation cable is strongly recommended for analog module
input or output signal connections. Proper grounding of the shield is also important.
For maximum electrical noise suppression, the cable shield should only be grounded at
one end of the cable. For Input modules, ground the end that is in the noisiest
environment (which often is at the field device end). For Output modules, ground at the
module end. See GFK-0898, Series 90-30 PLC I/O Module Specifications, for more shield
grounding information.
Analog Input Module Wiring Methods
Correcting electrical noise problems can sometimes be a trial-and-error routine.
However, in general, it is generally best to ground the cable shield as close to the source
of the noise as possible, which is usually at the device end. In troubleshooting noise
problems, sometimes it is beneficial to experiment with the shield grounding point
location. Remember, the cable shield should be grounded at one end only. Also, it is best
to keep the length of stripped cable leads as short as possible to minimize the length of
unshielded conductors that will be exposed to the noisy environment. See the Series
90-30 PLC I/O Module Specifications Manual, GFK-0898 for additional details.
Direct Method. Run a shielded cable from the field device (transducer,
potentiometer, etc.) directly to the module. Connect the conductors to the
GFK-0356P
Chapter 7 Input and Output Modules
7-11
7
applicable screws on the module’s terminal board. Ground the shield at the
field device end, exposing a minimum amount of conductor to the noisy
environment. Do not connect the shield at the module end (insulate it with
shrink tubing).
Terminal Strip Method. Mount a terminal strip inside the control enclosure
and run a shielded cable from the terminal strip to the module’s terminal
board terminals. Connect the shield to the metal panel next to the terminal
strip. Do do not connect the shield at the module end (insulate it with
shrink tubing). Wire the field device to the terminal strip with a shielded
cable, grounding the shield at the device end only (insulate the other end of
the shield with shrink tubing). Also, keep the length of exposed leads at the
terminal strip and device ends as short as possible.
Note
TBQC - The Terminal Block Quick Connect Assembly is not
recommended for use with analog modules due to cable shielding
requirements.
Analog Output Module Wiring
Each output should be connected using a good quality shielded wire with the shield
grounded at the module end only. See GFK-0898, Series 90-30 PLC I/O Module
Specifications, for more information.
I/O Module Power Supply Current Draw
These values are found in Chapter 12 of this manual, which discusses how to calculate
power supply loading. The information is also found in GFK-0898, Series 90-30 PLC I/O
Module Specifications.
I/O Module Wire Routing
To reduce noise coupling among PLC wires, it is recommended you keep electrically
noisy wiring, such as AC power wiring and Discrete Output Module wiring, physically
separated from low-level signal wiring such as connections to DC and Analog Input
modules. This can be accomplished by grouping separately, where practical, the
following categories of wiring:
AC power wiring. This includes the AC input to the PLC power supply, as
well as other AC devices in the control cabinet.
Analog Input and Output Module wiring. This should also be shielded to
further reduce noise coupling.
Discrete Output Module wiring. These often switch inductive loads that
produce noise spikes when switched off.
DC Input Module wiring. Although suppressed internally, these low-level
inputs should be further protected against noise coupling by observing
these wiring practices.
7-12
Series 90-30 PLC Installation and Hardware Manual - October 1999
GFK-0356P

Grouping Modules to Keep Wires Segregated
If practical, grouping similar modules together in the PLC racks can help keep wiring
segregated. For example, one rack could contain only AC modules and a different rack
only DC modules, with further grouping in each rack by input and output types. For
smaller systems, as an example, the left end of a rack could contain Analog modules, the
middle could contain DC modules, and the right end could contain AC modules. Where
AC or Output wiring bundles must pass near low-level signal wiring bundles, avoid
running them beside each other. Route them so that, if they have to cross, they do so at
a right angle. This will minimize coupling between them.

IC693CMM302 Enhanced Genius Communications Module (GCM+)
The Enhanced Genius Communications Module (GCM+), IC693CMM302, is an intelligent
module that provides automatic global data communications between a Series 90-30 PLC
and up to 31 other devices on a Genius bus.
The GCM+ can be located in any standard Series 90-30 CPU baseplate, expansion base-
plate, or remote baseplate. However, for most efficient operation, it is recommended that
the module be installed in the CPU baseplate since the sweep impact time of the GCM+
module depends on the model of PLC and the baseplate where it is located. Note: if a GCM
module is present in a system, GCM+ modules cannot be included in the system.
Multiple GCM+ modules can be installed in a Series 90-30 PLC system with each GCM+
having its own Genius bus serving up to 31 additional devices on the bus. For example, this
allows a Series 90-30 PLC with three GCM+ modules to exchange global data with as many
as 93 other Genius devices automatically. In addition to basic global data exchange, the
GCM+ module can be used for various applications such as:
Data monitoring by a personal computer or an industrial computer.
Monitoring data from Genius I/O blocks (although it cannot control Genius I/O
blocks).
Peer-to-peer communications among devices on the bus.
Master-slave communications among devices on the bus (emulates remote I/O).
The Genius bus connects to the terminal board on front of the GCM+ module.

A bus may feature I/O control, enhanced by communications commands in the program.
Or, a bus can be used entirely for I/O control, with many I/O devices and no additional
communications. A bus can also be dedicated to CPU communications, with multiple
CPUs and no I/O devices. More complex systems can also be developed, with dual CPUs
and one or more additional CPUs for data monitoring.

Number of Genius Bus Controllers
Up to eight Genius Bus Controllers or Enhanced Genius Communications Modules can
be included in a Series 90-30 PLC system that has release 5.0 or later Logicmaster 90-30
software, and release 5.0 or later CPU firmware. A GBC cannot be installed in a system
with a GCM.
The I/O devices on a bus may be Genius I/O blocks, or standard Series 90-70 I/O modules
in one or more remote drops. The total number of I/O circuits that can be served by one
Genius bus depends on the types of I/O devices that are used and the memory available
in the CPU.
Many Genius I/O blocks have both inputs and outputs on the same block. Blocks
configured in the Logicmaster 90-30 software as having both inputs and outputs will
occupy the identical number of references in both %I and %Q memory, regardless of the
block’s software configuration. Unused references cannot be assigned to other inputs or
outputs, and should not be used in the application program.
Status LEDs
The LEDs on the front of the GBC indicate its operating status and should be on during
normal operation.
OK Shows the status of the GBC module. This LED turns on after power up
diagnostics are completed.
COM Shows the status of the Genius communications bus. This LED is on steadily when
the bus is operating properly. It blinks for intermittent bus errors and is off for a
failed bus. It is also off when no configuration has been received from the PLC CPU.
Compatibility
Specific equipment or software versions required for compatibility with the GBC module
are listed below.
Series 90-30 PLC
CPU: The GBC module can be used with CPU models: IC693CPU311K, 321K, 331L or
later, or any version of the IC693CPU313, 323, 340, 341, 350, 351, 352, 360, 363, and 364.
The CPU firmware must be release 5.0 or later.
Logicmaster 90-30 software: rel. 5.0 (IC641SWP301L, 304J, 306F, 307F) or later is required.
Series Six PLC
To exchange global data with a Genius Bus Controller, the Series Six Bus Controller must
be catalog number IC660CBB902F/903F (firmware version 1.5), or later.
Genius Hand-Held Monitor
The Genius Hand-Held Monitor can be used to display the GBC bus address, its
software version, and the Series Six register address configured for global data. HHM
version IC660HHM501H (revision 4.5) or later is required. There is no Hand-Held
Monitor connector on the GBC module, but a Hand-Held Monitor can communicate
with the GBC while connected to any other device on the bus. Optionally, an additional
HHM mating connector can be installed on the bus near the GBC.
GFK-0356P
Chapter 8 Option Modules
8-7
8
Hand-Held Programmer
The GBC can be configured using a Series 90-30 Hand-Held Programmer
(IC693PRG300).
Genius I/O Blocks
Genius I/O blocks can be present on the same bus as the GBC. However, because the Bus
Controller is not compatible with older phase A blocks, they should not be installed on the
same bus.
Genius Bus
The Genius bus is a shielded twisted-pair wire, daisy-chained between devices, and
terminated at both ends. Proper cable selection is critical to successful operation of the
system. Suitable cable types are listed in GEK-90486-1, the Genius I/O System and
Communications User’s Manual.
Diagnostics
Genius blocks and other devices on the bus automatically report faults, alarms and
certain other predefined conditions to the PLC.
INPUTS AND FAULT MESSAGE
a43556
FROM BLOCK 3
GBC

TOKEN
F
F
F FAULT
Only one diagnostic message can be sent during any bus scan. If a fault message has
already been sent (by another device) during that scan, a device saves its own diagnostic
message until the next available bus scan. For example, if the communications token is
currently at device 3, and faults occur at devices 3 and 4 at the same time, device 3 can
send its diagnostic message if another message has not already been sent. Device 4 must
wait at least one more bus scan to send its diagnostic message.
The GBC stores any diagnostic messages it receives. They are read automatically by the
Series 90-30 CPU. Faults can then be displayed in the fault table using the Logicmaster
90-30 software. A Genius Hand-held Monitor must be used to clear the faults from the
fault table.
Datagrams
The Series 90-30 GBC supports all Genius datagrams. Refer to chapter 3 of the Genius
I/O System and Communications User’s Manual, GEK-90486-1, for details on using
datagrams.
Global Data
Global Data is data that is automatically and repeatedly broadcast by a GBC. The Series
90-30 GBC can send up to 128 bytes of Global Data each bus scan. It can receive up to
128 bytes of Global Data each bus scan from each GBC on its bus.

serves are referred to as an I/O Nest. The FIP Nest can include most Series 90-30 I/O
modules.
The host CPU can be any type of CPU capable of communicating on a FIP bus. A module
in the host (such as a FIP Bus Controller) provides the necessary interface between the
FIP bus and the host CPU.

FIP Bus Interface
The Remote I/O Scanner communicates at a data rate of 1MHz. There are two versions
of the FIP communications standard: FIP and WORLD FIP. A DIP switch on the module
is used to select the version that will be used by the Remote I/O Scanner. (The same
communications method will then be used on both bus cables).
The DIP switch on the module must be set to the FIP position for the Remote I/O
Scanner to communicate with a Series 90-70 PLC.
Module Description
The FIP Remote I/O Scanner is a standard Series 90-30 PLC module that plugs easily
into the backplane of the baseplate.
