Overview of the Series 90-30 PLC
1
The Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a member of the GE Fanuc Series 90 PLC family.

The Basic Parts of a Series 90-30 PLC

The Series 90-30 PLC is very versatile because (1) it is programmable, and (2) it is assembled from a wide variety of modular, plug-together components. Therefore, by choosing the correct components and developing an appropriate program, the PLC can be used for an almost unlimited variety of applications. Although there are many choices of individual hardware components to use in a system, there are just a few basic categories. Each of these component categories is covered in detail in a separate chapter in this manual. They are introduced in this chapter so you can see how they fit together:
Baseplates
Power Supplies
CPUs
I/O Modules
Option Modules
Cables
Baseplates
The baseplates are the foundation of the PLC system because most other components mount on them. As a basic minimum, every system has at least one baseplate, which usually contains the CPU (in which case, it is referred to as “the CPU Baseplate”). Many systems require more modules than can be mounted on one baseplate, so there are also Expansion and Remote baseplates that connect together. The three categories of baseplates, CPU, Expansion, and Remote, are available in two sizes, 5-slot and 10-slot, named according to the number of modules they can hold.
Power Supply Modules
Every baseplate must have its own power supply. The power supply always mounts in a baseplate’s left-most slot. There are several power supply models available to meet a variety of requirements.

CPUs
The CPU is the manager of the PLC. Every PLC system must have one. A CPU uses the instructions in its firmware and application program to direct the PLC’s operation and to monitor the system to make sure there are no basic faults. Some Series 90-30 CPUs are built into baseplates, but most are contained in plug-in modules. In some cases, the CPU resides in a Personal Computer using a Personal Computer Interface Card that interfaces to Series 90-30 Input, Output, and Option modules.
Input and Output (I/O) Modules
These modules enable the PLC to interface with input and output field devices such as switches, sensors, relays, and solenoids. They are available in both discrete and analog types.
Option Modules
These modules extend the capability of the PLC beyond the basic functions. These provide such things as communications and networking options, motion control, high speed counting, temperature control, interfacing to operator interface stations, etc.
Cables
These connect the PLC components together or to other systems. Many standard prefabricated cables are available from GE Fanuc. They are primarily used to:
Interconnect baseplates
Connect a programmer to the CPU or to an option module
Connect option modules to field devices or other systems.

Assembling a Basic Series 90-30 PLC System

Let’s assemble, on paper, a basic system using the following components:
Baseplate
Power Supply module
CPU module
Some I/O modules
We’ll start with the baseplate. To keep it simple, we’ll use a 5-slot size. Note that a 5-slot baseplate actually has six slots, but the power supply slot is not numbered. Note also, that this baseplate has a CPU slot, which is slot number 1, and it has an expansion connector on the right end, which is used for connecting to another baseplate if the system has more than one baseplate.

What else would be needed to make this basic system functional?

To make this basic system functional, you would need:
Mounting. Safe, secure mounting for the PLC in a protective enclosure.
Wiring. This includes properly installed incoming power to the power supply, as well as
wiring from the I/O modules to field devices such as switches, sensors, solenoids, relays, etc.
Program. An application program for the PLC to run. This is developed with GE Fanuc PLC
programming software.

What if the application requires more than five modules?

You could use a 10-slot baseplate, shown in the next picture:

What if the application requires more than ten modules?

You can add one or more Expansion or Remote racks to this system. Some CPUs can support up to seven additional racks. If you added seven additional 10-slot racks, you could have 70 more modules.
Racks are interconnected in a “daisy-chain” cabling arrangement. This interconnection system is called the “I/O Expansion Bus.” The connections are made from one baseplate’s I/O Bus Expansion Connector (shown in the figure above) to the next one’s. The I/O Bus Expansion Cables, shown below, have a double connector on one end to facilitate these connections.

What is the Difference Between Expansion and Remote baseplates?

The main factor to consider is distance. How far will the baseplate be from the CPU baseplate? If the cabling distance from the CPU baseplate is 50 feet (15 meters) or less, use an Expansion baseplate. The Expansion baseplate is preferable because of its higher communication speed with the CPU baseplate. However, if a baseplate must be located where it requires a cabling distance from the CPU rack in excess of 50 feet, an Expansion baseplate will not work - a Remote baseplate must be used. The limit for a Remote baseplate is a cabling distance of 700 feet (213 meters) from the CPU baseplate to the farthest Remote baseplate.

What if I need to cover more than 700 feet (213 meters)?

You can cover much greater distances by using Series 90-30 communications option modules. For example, Genius Bus Controller Modules (GBC) can communicate at distances up to 7,500 feet (2,286 meters) over a shielded twisted-pair cable, as shown in Example 1 below. Or, serial communications with Communications Coprocessor Modules (CMM) using the RS-485 standard can cover up to 4,000 feet (1,219 meters), as shown in Example 2 below. And virtually unlimited communication distances can be attained with modems and telephone lines or radio transmitters. Also, there are numerous networking options available such as Ethernet or WorldFIP.

Installing a Module

Warning
Do not insert or remove modules with power applied. This could cause the PLC to stop or malfunction. Injury to personnel and damage to the module or baseplate may result. Also, attempts to force a module into an improper slot type will result in damage to the module and/or the baseplate. Modules will mount in the correct slot type easily, with a minimum of force.
Use the following instructions as a guide when inserting a module into a baseplate slot.
Check that module catalog number matches slot configuration. Each slot is, or will be,
assigned a particular module type during configuration. A Power Supply module must be installed in the left end unnumbered slot only, and a CPU module and some special Option modules can only be installed in Slot 1 of a CPU baseplate. I/O Modules and most Option modules install in slots numbered 2 and higher.
Grasp the module firmly with terminal board toward you and with rear pivot hook facing
away from you.
2
Align the module with the desired baseplate slot and connector. Tilt the module upwards so
that top rear pivot hook of the module engages the baseplate’s top module retainer.
Swing the module downward until the module’s connector engages the baseplate’s backplane
connector, and the release lever on the bottom of the module snaps into place in the baseplate’s bottom module retainer.
Visually inspect the module to be sure that it properly seated.

Removing a Module

Warning
Do not insert or remove modules with power applied. This could cause the PLC to stop or malfunction. Injury to personnel and damage to the module or baseplate may result. Also potentially dangerous voltages from user devices may be present on a module’s screw terminals even though power to the rack is turned off. Care must be taken any time that you are handling the module’s removable terminal board or any wires connected to it.
If the module has wiring, remove the module’s terminal board (NOTE: You do not have to
unwire the terminal board) or cables. The procedure for removing a terminal board is described later in this section.
Locate the release lever at the bottom of the module and firmly press it up, towards the
module.
While holding the module firmly at its top and fully depressing release lever, swing (pivot) the
module upward (release lever must be free of its retaining slot).
Disengage pivot hook at the top rear of the module by moving the module up and away from
the baseplate.

Baseplate Mounting

Be sure to follow baseplate grounding instructions in this chapter. Failure to properly ground the PLC can result in improper operation, damage to equipment, and injury to personnel.

Mounting a Baseplate to a Panel

Use four good-quality 8-32 x 1/2 (4 x 12mm) machine screws, lock washers and flat washers.
Install the screws in four tapped holes. The “Baseplates” chapter has the applicable dimensions and mounting clearances. Alternately, 10-slot baseplates can be mounted in standard 19-inch racks by using the appropriate adapter. This is also discussed in the “Baseplates” chapter.
A vertical mounting orientation is preferred for maximum heat dissipation. Other mounting
orientations will require derating the Power Supply current capabilities. See Chapter 12, “System Design,” for details.
Warning
All baseplates must be grounded. The “Baseplate Safety Grounding” section of this chapter
has details.
The Rack Number Selection switch must be set on each Expansion or Remote baseplate. A
CPU baseplate does not require this switch. Rack numbers should be assigned by the system designer. Failure to set the Rack Number Selection switches properly will result in system malfunction. See the “Baseplates” chapter for details on setting these switches.

Mounting a Baseplate to a 19" Rack

Two optional Baseplate Adapter Brackets allow a 10-slot baseplate to be mounted in a 19 inch rack. Each baseplate installation requires only one of the adapter brackets.
IC693ACC308 Front Mount Adapter Bracket. Used to mount a baseplate to the front face
of a 19” rack. Install the adapter bracket by inserting the tabs at the top and bottom of the adapter bracket into the corresponding slots at the top and bottom of the plastic baseplate cover. NOTE: Although Figure 2-7 shows the plastic baseplate cover removed, this is for illustration purposes only. It is not necessary to remove the cover to install the bracket. With the bracket in place, insert and tighten the two screws (included with the bracket) through the back of the baseplate holes into the threaded holes in the bracket.

Grounding Procedures

System Grounding Procedures

In addition to the following grounding information, we strongly urge that you follow all applicable codes that apply to your area. For example, in the United States, most areas have adopted the National Electrical Code standard and specify that all wiring conform to its requirements. In other countries, different codes will apply. For maximum safety to personnel and property you must follow these codes. Failure to do so can mean injury or death to personnel, damage to property, or both.
All components of a programmable logic control system and the devices it is controlling must be properly grounded. This is particularly important for the following reasons.
A low resistance path from all parts of a system to earth minimizes exposure to shock in the
event of short circuits or equipment malfunction.
2
Warning
The Series 90-30 PLC system requires proper grounding for correct operation.
Ground Conductors
Ground conductors should be connected in a tree fashion with branches routed to a central
earth ground point, shown in the figure below. This ensures that no ground conductor carries current from any other branch. This method is shown in the following figure.
Ground conductors should be as short and as large in size as possible. Braided straps or
ground cables (typically green insulation with a yellow tracer - AWG #12 (3.3 mm can be used to minimize resistance. Conductors must always be large enough to carry the maximum short circuit current of the path being considered.

Series 90-30 PLC Equipment Grounding

Equipment grounding recommendations and procedures are listed below. These grounding procedures must be properly followed for safe, proper operation of your Series 90-30 PLC system.
Baseplate Safety Grounding
The following recommendations are offered, but applicable safety codes for your area or equipment type should also be consulted. The baseplate’s metal back must be grounded using a separate conductor; the baseplate mounting screws are not considered to an acceptable ground connection by themselves. Use a minimum AWG #12 (3.3 mm washer under the head of one of the baseplate’s two lower mounting holes. These two holes have openings to the side to allow connecting a wire and ring terminal under the head of a mounting screw. Connect the other end of this ground wire to a tapped hole in the panel that the baseplate is mounted to, using a machine screw, star lock washer, and flat washer. Alternately, if your panel has a ground stud, it is recommended you use a nut and star lock washer for each wire on the ground stud to ensure adequate grounding. Where connections are made to a painted panel, the paint should be removed so clean, bare metal is exposed at the connection point. Terminals and hardware used should be rated to work with the aluminum baseplate material.

All baseplates grouped together in a Series 90-30 PLC system must have a common ground connection. This is especially important for baseplates that are not mounted in the same control cabinet.
2
Grounding 19" Rack-Mounted Baseplates
There are two Adapter Brackets used for mounting a 10-slot Series 90-30 baseplate to a 19” Rack. Regardless of which of the two Adapter Brackets is used, the 19” Rack should be grounded as per the instructions in “System Grounding Procedures,” including Figure 2-10. (For details on the Adapter Brackets, see the “Mounting a Baseplate to a 19” Rack” section earlier in this chapter.)
Nineteen-Inch Rack-mounted PLC baseplates should be grounded according to the guidelines in the “Baseplate Safety Grounding” section, using a separate ground wire from the PLC baseplate as shown in the previous figure (Fig. 2-11).
If using the Recessed Mount Adapter Bracket (IC693ACC313), the ground wire can be
installed as shown in Figure 2-11 with the ground attached to the Recessed Mount Adapter Bracket. An additional ground wire connecting the Adapter Bracket to a solid chassis ground on the 19” Rack should be installed. Use the same or equivalent hardware and paint removal scheme as shown in Figure 2-11.
If using the Surface Mount Adapter Bracket (IC693ACC308), the ground wire should be
run from the baseplate as shown in Figure 2-11, to a solid chassis ground on the 19” Rack. Use the same or equivalent hardware and paint removal scheme as shown in Figure 2-11.

For proper operation, the computer (programmer) running the PLC software must have a ground connection in common with the CPU baseplate. Normally, this common ground connection is provided by ensuring that the programmer’s power cord is connected to the same power source (with the same ground reference point) as the baseplate. If it is not possible to ensure this common ground scheme, use a port isolator (IC690ACC903) between the programmer and PLC serial connection. If the programmer ground is at a different potential than the PLC ground, a shock hazard could exist. Also, damage to the ports or converter (if used) could occur when the programmer serial cable is connected between the two.
Warning
Failure to follow programmer grounding recommendations could result in personal injury, equipment damage, or both.

Module Shield Grounding

In general, the aluminum PLC baseplate is used for module shield grounding. On some Series 90-30 modules, shield connections to the user terminal connector on the module are routed to the baseplate through the module’s backplane connector. Other modules, such as CPUs 351, 352, 363, 364, and 374 require a separate shield ground. These are discussed in the next several sections.
Shield Grounding Information for CPUs with External Port Connections
CPUs with external port connections, the 351, 352, 363, 364, and 374 must have a separate shield ground connection to provide shielding for these ports. Because the design of the ground connection for the CPU351 and 352 is different from that of the CPU363, 364, and 374, each grounding method is discussed in a separate section.
CPU351 and 352 Shield Grounding
The CPU 351 or 352 module must be connected to frame ground at the slot where it is installed. Two methods are provided for making this ground connection. Each CPU comes with an EMC Grounding Kit (44A737591-G01) that contains a ground wire, grounding bracket, and screws.
1. The connection from the CPU to frame ground can be made using the ground wire (part number 44A735970-001R01) that comes with the module in the EMC Grounding Kit. This wire has a stab-on connector on one end for connection to a mating terminal on the bottom of the CPU, and a ring terminal on the other end for connection to a grounded enclosure. Where the ring terminal contacts a painted enclosure panel, either a star lock washer can be installed between the terminal and the panel to cut through the paint, or the paint can be scraped away down to clean, bare metal to ensure a good contact. Note: The star lock washer method is
suitable for a shield ground, but not suitable for a safety ground.

2. The second method, which can be used for systems in noisy environments consists of installing the green ground wire and the optional grounding bracket (part number 44C715646-001R01). This bracket attaches to the CPU using two #4 thread-rolling screws (part number N666P9004B6) and to the grounded enclosure using two #6 thread-rolling screws (part number N666P13006B6). Two holes must be drilled in the enclosure for mounting this bracket. Also, if the bracket will be attached to a painted surface, the paint should be removed down to bare metal under the bracket to ensure good contact between the bracket and the surface. See the next figure.

CPU363, CPU364, and CPU374 Shield Grounding
The CPU363, CPU364, and CPU374 modules must be connected to frame ground at the slot where they are installed. Each module comes with a grounding wire for this purpose. These modules do not support or require the use of a grounding bracket. If the ring terminal on the grounding wire is to be mounted to a painted surface, remove the paint under the ring terminal to ensure good contact, or place a star lock washer between the ring terminal and the painted surface.

Some of the Series 90-30 Option modules, such as the FIP Remote I/O Scanner (IC693BEM330), and DSM modules (IC693DSM302 and IC693DSM314) also have shield grounding requirements. These modules come equipped with suitable grounding hardware. Please refer to each module’s user’s manual for grounding instructions.

General Wiring Guidelines

In addition to the following wiring suggestions, we strongly urge that you follow all wiring and safety codes that apply to your area or your type of equipment. For example, in the United States, most areas have adopted the National Electrical Code standard and specify that all wiring conform to its requirements. In other countries, different codes will apply. For maximum safety to personnel and property you must follow these codes. Failure to do so can lead to personal injury or death, property damage or destruction, or both.
Color Coding Wires
These color codes are commonly used in industrial equipment manufactured in the United States. They are cited here as a reference. Where they are in conflict with codes that apply to your area or your type of equipment, you should follow your applicable codes instead. Besides satisfying code requirements, wire color coding makes testing and troubleshooting safer, faster, and easier.

personnel that there may be power present (from an external source) even if the equipment is disconnected from its main power source.
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 DC and Analog Input module wiring or communications cables. 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 or Output Module wiring. This should be shielded to further reduce noise coupling. See the Series 90-30 I/O Module Specifications Manual, GFK-0898 for details.
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.
Communications Cables. Wiring such as Genius Bus or serial cables should be kept away from noise-producing wiring.
GFK-0356Q Chapter 2 Installation 2-17
Page 56
2
Where AC or Output wiring bundles must pass near noise-sensitive 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.
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.

Discrete I/O Module Connection Methods

For modules with 16 points or less, the standard method is to use the removable terminal board which comes with these modules. The removable terminal board makes it easy to prewire field wiring to the user supplied input and output devices, and to replace modules in the field without disturbing existing field wiring.
Some discrete 16-point I/O modules can be used with an optional Terminal Block Quick Connect (TBQC) assembly. This assembly contains a module faceplate, with built-in connector, that replaces the removable terminal board. The assembly also contains a DIN-rail mounted terminal block and a cable to connect the module to the terminal block. The advantage of this method is that it saves about two hours of wiring time per module compared with hand wiring from a module’s removable terminal board to a user-supplied, panel-mounted terminal block or strip.
Older 32-point I/O modules have one 50-pin connector on the front of the module that is either connected by a cable with a connector on each end to a Weidmuller panel-mounted terminal block (Weidmuller catalog no. 912263), or is connected by a cable with stripped, tinned leads to a user-supplied terminal block or strip.
Newer 32-point I/O modules have two 24-pin connectors on the front of the module. These module may be wired in one of three ways. (1) Use a pair of cables (IC693CBL327/328 - see data sheet in “Cables” chapter) to connect the module to a user-supplied, panel-mounted terminal block or strip. These cables have a 24-pin connector on one end, and stripped, tinned leads with wire markers on the other end. (2) Use a pair of dual-connector cables to connect the module to a Terminal Block Quick Connect (TBQC) terminal block (IC693ACC377). See Appendix H for details. (3) Make your own custom cables. Instructions are found in the IC693CBL327/328 data sheet in Chapter 10.

Connections to I/O Module Terminal Boards

Series 90-30 PLC I/O terminal boards have either 10 or 20 screw terminals that will accept from two AWG #22 (0.36 mm (194°F) wire(s). Each terminal can accept solid or stranded wires, but the wires into any given terminal should be the same type (both solid or both stranded) to ensure a good connection. Wires are routed to and from the terminals out of the bottom of the terminal board cavity. The suggested torque for the I/O terminal board connection screws is from 9.6 in-lbs to 11.5 in-lbs (1.1–1.3 Newton-meters).

Installation of 32-Point Discrete, 50-Pin Connector Modules

These 50-Pin modules are an older design and are not generally used on new systems, unless to fulfill standardization requirements. They are mainly used as replacements for existing installations. For new installations, we recommend the dual 24-pin connector style because they have additional features not found on the older modules (LED indicators, TBQC), and it is much easier to fabricate custom-length cables for them. Installation information is provided here for the convenience of those still using these modules.

General 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

2
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.
Using a Generic Terminal Block or Strip
Mount a terminal strip inside the control enclosure and run a shielded cable from the terminal strip to each input circuit on the module’s terminal board terminals.
Connect each cable’s shield to the metal panel next to the terminal strip. Do not connect the shields at the module end (cut shield off at module end of cable and insulate with shrink tubing).
Wire the field device to the terminal strip with a shielded cable, grounding the shield at the device end only (cut shield off at terminal strip end of cable and insulate with shrink tubing). Also, keep the length of exposed (outside of shield) leads at the terminal strip and device ends as short as possible.
Direct Method
Run a shielded cable from the field device (transducer, potentiometer, etc.) directly to the module.
Connect the conductors to the 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 (cut shield off at module end of cable and insulate with shrink tubing).
TBQC not Recommended for Analog Modules
The Terminal Block Quick Connect (TBQC) Assembly is not recommended for use with analog modules due to cable shielding requirements.

Analog Output Module Wiring

General
Each output should be connected using a good quality shielded wire with the cable shield grounded at the module end. See GFK-0898, Series 90-30 PLC I/O Module Specifications, for more information.
Using a Generic Terminal Block or Strip
Mount a terminal strip inside the control enclosure and run a shielded cable from the terminal strip to each output circuit on the module’s terminal board terminals.
Ground each cable’s shield at the module end only. Do not connect the shields at the terminal strip end (cut shields off at terminal strip end of cables and insulate with shrink tubing).
Wire the field device to the terminal strip with shielded cables, grounding the shields at the terminal strip end only (cut shields off at field device end of cables and insulate with shrink tubing). Also, keep the length of exposed (outside of shield) leads at the terminal strip and device ends as short as possible.
Direct Method
Run a shielded cable from each field device (transducer, potentiometer, etc.) directly to the module.

AC Power Source Connections

AC Input Wiring to AC/DC Power Supplies

If the same AC power source is used to provide AC power to other baseplates in a Series 90-30 PLC System, ensure that all AC input connections are identical at each rack. Do not cross Line 1 (L1) and Line 2 (L2). A resulting difference in potential can injure personnel or cause damage to equipment. Each baseplate must be connected to a common ground.
Ensure that the protective cover is installed over all terminal boards. During normal operation with an AC power source either 120 VAC or 240 VAC is present on the AC Power Supply. The cover protects against accidental shock hazard which could cause severe or fatal injury to the operator or maintenance personnel.
Both the Standard (IC693PWR321) and High Capacity (IC693PWR330) AC/DC power supplies currently have six terminals for user connections. Early versions of some Series 90-30 power supplies had five terminals (see next figure). The wiring methods for both five-terminal and six­terminal types is similar, except that step 3 below does not apply to the five-terminal type.
The power supply terminal boards will accept one AWG #14 (2.1 mm
2
mm
) copper 75_ C (167_ F) wires. Each terminal can accept solid or stranded wires, but the wires
in any given terminal should be the same type. The suggested torque for the power supply terminal board is 12 in-lbs (1.36 Newton-meters). Open the door protecting the terminal board and make the following connections from the AC power source, and ground connections (system grounding requirements are described in detail later in this chapter).

1. These are wide range supplies that can operate from an AC power source within the nominal range of 100 VAC to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. This may vary -15% to +10% for a total maximum range of 85 VAC to 264 VAC. These are auto-ranging supplies that do not require jumper or switch settings for selection of power source voltage.
2. Connect the hot and neutral wires or lines L1 and L2 to the upper two terminals on the terminal board. Connect the safety ground wire to the ground terminal, which is the third terminal from the top, and is marked with a ground symbol.
3. For power supplies with six terminals, the factory jumper between the 3rd and 4th terminals (see figure below), should be left in place for normal installations. However, this jumper must be removed and external surge suppressors installed in installations with a “Floating Neutral” input. Please see the section “Special Instructions for Floating Neutral (IT) Systems” later in this chapter for details.
4. After all connections to Power Supply terminal board have been completed, the protective cover plate should be carefully reinstalled.

Special Installation Instructions for Floating Neutral (IT) Systems

When the AC input power supplies listed below are installed in a system where the Neutral line is not referenced to Protective Earth Ground, these special installation instructions must be followed to prevent damage to the power supply.
IC693PWR321S (or later version) IC693PWR330A (or later version)

Definition of Floating Neutral Systems

A Floating Neutral System is a system of power distribution wiring where Neutral and Protective Earth Ground are not tied together by a negligible impedance. In Europe this is referred to as an IT system (see IEC950). In a Floating Neutral System, voltages measured from input terminals to protective earth ground may exceed the 264 Volts AC maximum input voltage specified in the power supply specifications in Chapter 24in this manual.

Use These Special Installation Instructions for Floating Neutral Systems

1. The input power terminals should be wired according to the instructions in the “AC Power Source Connections” section of this chapter.
2. The factory installed jumper between terminals 3 and 4 of the Power Supply module must be removed if using one of the Power Supplies that have this feature. See the “Overvoltage Protection Devices” section of the “Power Supplies” chapter for details.
3. Voltage surge protection devices, such as MOVs, MUST be installed between the following terminals:
From L1 to earth ground
From L2 (Neutral) to earth ground
The voltage surge devices must be rated such that the system is protected from power line transients that exceed Line voltage + 100V +(N-PE)
The expression N-PE refers to the voltage potential between neutral and Protective Earth (PE) ground.
MAX.
For example, in a 240 Volt AC system with neutral floating 50V above earth ground, the transient protection should be rated at:

DC Power Source Connections

DC Input Wiring to AC/DC and DC-Only Power Supplies

DC Input power can range from 12 to 30 VDC for the 24 VDC supply, 18 to 56 VDC for the 24/48 VDC supply or 100 to 150 VDC for the 125 VDC supply. All Series 90-30 power supplies have DC input capabilities. The following connection information applies to all of them:
Connect the + and - wires from the power source to the top terminals on the terminal board (+ to the top terminal, - to the second terminal). Connect the third terminal from the top to system ground.

+24 VDC Output (All Supplies)

The bottom two terminals are connected to the isolated 24 volt DC output that can be used to supply power to input circuits (within power limitations of the supply).

Warning
If the same DC input power source is used to provide power to two or more power supplies in a Series 90-30 PLC System, ensure that connection polarity is identical at each rack (top terminal + and second terminal -). Do not cross the Positive (+) and Negative (-) lines. A resulting difference in potential can injure personnel or cause damage to equipment. Also, each baseplate must be connected to a common system ground, described earlier in this chapter.

Basic Installation Procedure

Note: Series 90-30 PLCs must be mounted in a protective enclosure. The enclosure should be
capable of properly dissipating the heat produced by all of the devices mounted inside it. For details on calculating heat dissipation, refer to Appendix F.
The system design, which includes producing the layout and wiring drawings, should be completed before beginning the installation procedure. This section offers a basic step-by-step approach to installing a Series 90-30 PLC system. Some steps refer to earlier sections of this chapter for additional details. An attempt was made to place the steps in an order that will make the process as efficient as possible. However, due to the wide variance in system designs, this order may not be the most efficient for your system, so you may wish modify this procedure to fit your needs.
1. Gather the schematics, layouts, prints, and other information for the job.
To avoid the possibility of electrical shock to personnel or damage to your PLC, we recommend that you shut off all power to the system before mounting and wiring the PLC. Also, keep all electronic components away from the area while drilling and tapping to keep metal chips and filings out of these sensitive components.
Warning
2. From the layout drawing, determine where the baseplate(s) will be mounted. Lay out the hole locations, either using the dimensions given on your layout drawing or from the “Baseplates” chapter of this manual.
3. Mark the hole locations for the baseplate safety ground wire (see “Baseplate Safety Ground” in this chapter).
4. Mark the hole locations for module shield ground connections (if any). See “Module Shield Ground” (and accompanying sections) in this chapter for instructions.
5. Finish laying (marking hole locations) out the rest of the system. This includes any terminal blocks you will be using. DIN-rail mounted terminal blocks for some of the 32-point I/O modules are manufactured by Weidmuller. DIN-rail mounted GE Fanuc Terminal Block Quick Connect (TBQC) assemblies are optional for some of the 16-point and 32-point discrete I/O modules. If using these TBQCs, refer to Appendix H for data. Also, APM and DSM modules use DIN-rail mounted terminal blocks.
Note
We recommend drilling and tapping all holes before mounting any components. This will avoid getting chips and filings in the components.
6. Drill and tap the marked holes. For baseplate mounting, use 8-32 or 4mm size.
7. Mount the baseplates. Use good quality 8-32 x 1/2 inch or 4 x 12mm size screws. We recommend using star lock washers and flat washers under the screw heads (star lock washer should be located between screw head and flat washer) to ensure a tight baseplate ground connection, and to keep the screws from loosening. Connect each baseplate ground wire as shown in the “Baseplate Safety Ground” section of this chapter.
8. If you have Expansion or Remote racks, determine the correct rack number for each one, then set the rack numbers using the Rack Number Selection dual in-line package (DIP) switch on

Page 67
the baseplate. Please refer to the “Baseplates” chapter for details on setting these DIP switches. Rack numbers should be assigned by the system programmer because they correspond to system configuration settings and program memory addressing.
9. If you have more than one baseplate (rack), connect the I/O Bus Expansion Cables between the I/O Bus Expansion Connectors, which are located on the right end of the baseplates. The cables are connected in a “daisy-chain” arrangement from one baseplate to the other. This is made possible by the fact that the cables have a dual connector on one end. Therefore, when the cable is plugged into a baseplate connector, the second connector on that end of the cable provides a socket for connecting to the next cable. The data sheet for the I/O Bus Expansion cables (IC693CBL300 etc.) in the “Cables” chapter has sample wiring figures.
10. On the last I/O Bus Expansion Connector, plug in an I/O Bus Expansion Terminator, Catalog Number IC693ACC307 (unless using a cable with built-in terminator resistors, which would either be GE Fanuc cable IC693CBL302, or your own custom-built cable).
11. Install the modules in their correct slots using your system layout drawings. (The label on the side of each module identifies the module type and catalog number.) Refer to the section “Installing Modules” if you are not familiar with how to do this.
12. Connect cables to Option modules. Route cables away from noise-producing wires. See the ”Wire Routing” section of this chapter.
2
13. Be sure to follow the information in the “Wiring Guidelines” section of this chapter to protect the system from electrical noise. Install the power wires to the Power Supply and I/O modules:
I/O modules with removable terminal boards. You can wire the terminal boards in-
place on the modules or remove them from the modules before wiring. Although removing them may help make wiring easier (a previous section “Working with Removable Terminal Boards” shows how to remove a terminal board), care should be taken to avoid mixing them (each terminal board has the catalog number of the module printed on it, and the hinged cover has a wiring diagram for that module type). If you are using wire duct, routing each module’s wires through the opening in the duct directly under the module will help to keep each terminal board in its correct position.
I/O Modules with terminal blocks. Some modules use terminal blocks that mount to the
enclosure panel. This includes all 32-point modules and, can include other I/O modules if they are fitted with the optional Terminal Block Quick Connect Assembly. Connect the terminal blocks to the connectors on the modules with the provided cables.
14. Connect the signal (switches, sensors, solenoids, etc.) wires to the terminal boards, or terminal blocks/strips. If wiring to terminal boards, these can be removed for ease of wiring, if desired. See the section “Removing a Module’s Terminal Board.”
15. When finished wiring the I/O terminal boards (if used and if you removed them for ease of wiring), re-install them on the modules, being careful to match each one with the correct module.

Baseplate Types

A baseplate is composed of three main parts: (1) a circuit board mounted to (2) a metal back-plate with (3) a plastic cover. The circuit board, called the “backplane,” contains sockets for plug-in modules. The metal back-plate has four holes for mounting the baseplate, and retainers for mounting the modules. The plastic cover provides protection for the circuit board, slotted holes for the module connectors and retainers, and printed labels such as the baseplate description, serial number, and slot number labels. There are three basic types of baseplates discussed in this chapter:
CPU
Expansion
Remote

Common Baseplate Features

The following figure shows the features that are common to all Series 90-30 baseplates. Note that a modular CPU baseplate is shown.

Two Baseplate Sizes

Series 90-30 baseplates come in two sizes: 5-slot and 10-slot. Be aware that the Power Supply slot is not numbered, and is not considered to be one of the 5 or 10 slots. A 5-slot baseplate has slots for a Power Supply and five other modules, and a 10-slot baseplate has slots for a Power Supply and ten other modules.

Baseplate Terms

Backplane: Refers to the circuit board in the baseplate. It contains the baseplate circuitry and sockets for plug-in modules.
Rack: This term applies to an assembly consisting of a baseplate, power supply, and other modules.
Rack Number: In systems that require more than one rack, each rack is given its own unique number, which enables the CPU to distinguish one rack from another. The CPU rack always has a rack number of 0 (zero).
Slot Number: Each module location (called a ”slot”) on a baseplate has a unique number (except for the unnumbered left slot, which is for the Power Supply). The slot to the right of the Power Supply slot is always called Slot 1. These slot numbers are marked on the baseplate’s plastic cover. Each slot has a connector for module connections and top and bottom retainers for holding the module in place.
Module Location: Since each rack is assigned a unique number, and since each slot in a rack’s baseplate has a unique slot number, each individual module’s location in a system can be identified by its rack and slot numbers. For example, a module could be referred to as ”the module in Rack 1, Slot 4.” This numbering method enables the CPU to correctly read from and write to a particular module, and report the location of a faulted module.
3
CPU Baseplate: A baseplate that either has a CPU built-in to its backplane circuit board (embedded CPU) or one that has a slot for a plug-in CPU module (modular CPU). There can only be one CPU baseplate in a Series 90-30 PLC system and it will always be called Rack 0 (zero). A CPU module can only mount in Slot 1 of a modular CPU baseplate. A few special Option modules, such as the FIP Remote I/O Scanner module (IC693BEM330) can also be used in Slot 1 of a modular CPU baseplate. Power Supply, Input/Output (I/O), and most Option modules cannot fit in a CPU slot.
Expansion Baseplate: One that does not contain a CPU and that can be mounted up to 50 cable­feet from the CPU baseplate. An Expansion baseplate cannot operate on its own. It must be used in a system that has a controlling CPU.
Remote Baseplate: One that does not contain a CPU and that can be mounted up to 700 cable-feet from the CPU baseplate. A remote baseplate cannot operate on its own. It must be used in a system that has a controlling CPU.
Power Supply Slot: Each baseplate must contain its own Power Supply module, which must mount in the Power Supply slot. It is the slot located on the left end of the baseplate, it is not numbered, and it has a unique size and shape so that only a Power Supply module can mount in it.
Caution
Attempts to force a module into an improper slot type will damage the module and/or the baseplate. Modules will mount in the correct slot easily and with a minimum of force.

CPU Baseplates

There are two basic kinds of CPU baseplates, embedded and modular. The embedded types fulfill the need for a good low cost PLC, but lack the power, expandability, and versatility of the modular systems.
Embedded CPU Baseplate: This type has CPU and memory integrated circuit chips soldered to its backplane circuit board. All of its numbered slots, including slot 1, are of the same type, and they accept only I/O modules and standard options modules.
Modular CPU Baseplate: This type does not have CPU and memory chips on its backplane. Instead, it has a connector in Slot 1 for a plug-in CPU module, which contains the CPU and memory chips on an internal circuit board. The slot 1 connector is a special type that only mates with connectors on CPUs and a few special option modules.

Embedded CPU Baseplates (Figures 3-2 and 3-3)

There are three models of embedded baseplates, the 311, 313, and 323. These model numbers are based upon the CPU type that each contains. This chapter discusses only the baseplate features of these products. CPU specifications for the embedded CPU are located in Chapter 4. The embedded CPU baseplates have the following features:
The CPU type cannot be changed.
They do not support the use of expansion or remote racks, so these racks do not have an
expansion connector like the modular CPU baseplates do.
The models 311 and 313 are 5-slot baseplates, and the model 323 is a 10-slot baseplate.
Since they do not require a plug-in CPU module, all numbered slots, including Slot 1, can be
used for I/O or Option modules.
The memory back-up battery is located in the Power Supply module; so if the Power Supply is unplugged from the baseplate, the battery will be disconnected from the memory circuits, which are located on the backplane circuit board. However, the backplane circuit board contains a high value capacitor, sometimes called a ”super capacitor,” that can store enough charge to maintain the memory circuits for about 1 hour if the Power Supply is removed or its battery is disconnected. Chapter 6 discusses the IC693ACC315 Battery Accessory kit that can be used to maintain memory contents when the Power Supply is removed from an embedded CPU baseplate.
There are no configuration switches or jumpers on the Model 311, 313, or 323 baseplates.
An embedded CPU baseplate is always assigned, by default, Rack Number Zero (0).

Modular CPU Baseplates (Figures 3-4 and 3-5)

A Power Supply module must be plugged into the left slot (which is not numbered) of these
baseplates. The left slot is a unique size and type that only supports a Power Supply module.
A CPU module (or a special Option module) must be installed in Slot 1 of these baseplates.
Slot 1 is a unique size and type that only supports a CPU module or a special Option module like the FIP Remote I/O Scanner (IC693BEM330). Slot 1 is labeled CPU/1.
Slots numbered 2 and above are of a unique size and type that only supports I/O or Option
modules.
Expansion and Remote baseplates are supported, so a 25-pin D-type female expansion
connector is located at the right end of the baseplate for connecting to an Expansion or Remote baseplate.
Since the CPU is modular, it can be replaced or changed to a different type if additional
features are desired.
Only one CPU baseplate is allowed per system. If more than one baseplate is used in a system,
the additional ones must be either Expansion or Remote types.
A modular CPU baseplate is always assigned, by default, Rack Number 0.

XXXXXXXXX
There can be no more than a total of 50 feet (15 meters) of cable interconnecting Expansion
baseplates and the CPU baseplate.
An Expansion baseplate cannot stand alone. It must be connected to a system that has a CPU.
The CPU can be in a PLC or in a Personal Computer that is equipped with a Personal Computer Interface Card (see Chapter 11).
Maximum number of Expansion baseplates allowed per system depends on the type of CPU
they are used with. For CPUs 331, 340, and 341, the maximum is 4. For CPUs numbered 350 and higher, the maximum is 7.
Each Expansion baseplate has a 25-pin female D-type I/O Bus Expansion connector mounted
at its right end for connection to other baseplates.
Available in two versions; 5-slot (IC693CHS398) and 10-slot (IC693CHS392)
An Expansion backplane does not support the following intelligent option modules: PCM,
ADC, BEM330, and CMM311. These modules must be mounted in a CPU baseplate. All other I/O and option modules can be mounted in any type of rack.
3
All Expansion baseplates must be connected to a common ground (see the “Installation”
chapter for details).
Expansion baseplates are the same physical size, use the same type power supplies, and
support the same I/O and option modules as the Remote baseplates.
Each Expansion baseplate has a Rack Number Selection DIP switch.

Remote Baseplates (Figures 3-8 and 3-9)

There can be no more than 700 feet of cable connecting all baseplates in a system that uses
Remote baseplates.
A Remote baseplate cannot stand alone. It must be connected to a system that has a CPU. The
CPU can be in a PLC or in a Personal Computer that is equipped with a Personal Computer Interface Card (see Chapter 11).
Remote capability is facilitated by the Remote baseplate’s built-in isolation between the +5
volt logic supply used by the I/O modules residing in the Remote baseplate and the supply for the interface circuit associated with the I/O Bus Expansion Interface. Isolation helps prevent problems associated with unbalanced ground conditions.
Maximum number of Remote baseplates allowed per system depends on the type of CPU they
are used with. For CPUs 331, 340, and 341, the maximum is 4. For CPUs numbered 350 and higher, the maximum is 7.
Each remote baseplate has a 25-pin female D-type Expansion connector mounted at its right
end for connection to other baseplates.
Remote baseplates are available in two sizes; 5-slot (IC693CHS398) and 10-slot
(IC693CHS392)
A Remote backplane does not support the following intelligent option modules: PCM, ADC,
BEM330, and CMM. These modules must be mounted in a CPU baseplate. All other I/O and option modules can be mounted in any type of baseplate.
Remote baseplates are the same physical size, use the same type power supplies, and support
the same I/O and option modules as the Expansion baseplates.
Each Remote baseplate has a Rack Number Selection DIP switch.

I/O Bus Expansion Cables

Five prewired I/O Bus Expansion cables are available from GE Fanuc. Catalog numbers and lengths of these cables are listed in the following figure. You can build custom cables to suit the needs of your application if cable lengths other than those listed are required. Refer to the “Cables” chapter for detailed information on cable type and connectors. Note that the same cables can be used with both Expansion and Remote baseplates, however the cables used in a remote expansion system must use the cable type described in the “Cables” chapter.

Differences Between Remote and Expansion Racks

Basically, Remote racks provide the same functionality as Expansion racks, but with the longer distance (700 feet/213 meters verses 50 feet/15 meters for Expansion racks) capability. To minimize unbalanced ground conditions, Remote baseplates have extra isolation circuitry. Unbalanced ground conditions can occur when systems are located long distances from each other and do not share the same ground system. However, distance is not always the problem; even racks that are mounted near each other can experience problems if the system is not grounded properly. See Chapter 2 for grounding information.
The use of Remote racks requires a special consideration pertaining to scan time. In order to operate at long distances, the I/O Bus runs at a lower clock speed (compared to that used for Expansion racks) when communicating with Remote racks, which will have an impact on performance. The impact will be relatively small for discrete I/O and slightly more for other modules, such as the High Speed Counter or Genius Communications Module. The increase in time needed to communicate with modules in a remote baseplate will usually be small with respect to the overall scan time. For more detailed information on scan time calculations, refer to Chapter 2 of GFK-0467, the Series 90-30/20/Micro PLC CPU Instruction Set Reference Manual.
3
Another important scan time consideration is the cable type used for communicating at longer distances. Data propagation delay must be minimized to ensure proper system timing and margins. Any deviation in cable type may result in erratic or improper system operation. Suggested cable types are specified in the “Cables” chapter in the IC693CBL300/etc. data sheet.

Mixing Expansion and Remote Baseplates in a System

Expansion and remote baseplates can be used in the same system as long as certain requirements are met:
You do not exceed the 50 foot (15 meter) maximum cable distance from the CPU to the last
Expansion baseplate
You do not exceed the 700 foot (213 meter) maximum cable distance from the CPU to the last
Remote baseplate.
The cable type recommended for use with Remote baseplates must be used throughout the
system. The exception to this requirement is that the prewired 3 foot (1 meter) cable, IC693CBL300, can be used as a Wye adapter to simplify the custom cable assembly associated with the “daisy chain” connections between baseplates. Information on building cables for use with Remote baseplates can be found in the “Cables” chapter in the IC693CBL300/etc. data sheet..
GFK-0356Q Chapter 3 Baseplates 3-11

Termination Requirement for Expansion or Remote System

When two or more baseplates are connected via the I/O Bus Expansion System, the I/O Expansion Bus must be properly terminated. The most common method of terminating the I/O Expansion Bus is by installing a termination resistor pack (IC693ACC307) on the open connector on the last (most distant from the CPU) Expansion or Remote baseplate in the system. The resistor pack is physically mounted inside of a connector. Although a termination resistor pack is shipped with each baseplate, only the last baseplate in the chain needs to have this termination connector installed. Unused termination packs can be discarded. The prewired 50 foot (15 meter) cable (IC693CBL302) has termination resistors wired inside the connector on one end of the cable. This cable can be used if only one expansion rack is needed in a system and a 50 foot cable link is required (the IC693ACC307 resistor pack is not needed in this case). Also, a custom-built cable with built-in resistors would eliminate the need for the IC693ACC307 resistor pack.

Powering Down Individual Expansion or Remote Baseplates

Expansion or Remote baseplates can be powered-down individually without affecting the operation of other baseplates; however, powering off a baseplate generates a loss of module (LOSS_OF_MODULE) fault in the PLC Fault Table for each module in the baseplate. When this fault condition occurs, and until the baseplate is powered back on and all modules recovered, the lost I/O modules are not scanned. For more information on the power-up and power-down sequence, see Chapter 2 in the Series 90-30 Programmable Controller Reference Manual, GFK-0467.

Series 90-30 PLC Backplane

The Series 90-30 PLC backplane (on all three types of baseplates) has a dedicated I/O communications bus. The signals on the remote baseplate backplane are optically coupled and an isolated DC-DC power supply converter is provided to isolate the signals from other backplanes.
Power bus - connects the power supply outputs to the modules in the baseplate.
I/O Communications bus - the CPU communicates with I/O modules over this bus. This bus
is connected to the I/O busses in Expansion and Remote racks via the I/O Bus Expansion connectors and cables.
Special Intelligent Module bus - exists only on a CPU baseplate; therefore, certain special
intelligent option modules, such as the Programmable Coprocessor Module (PCM) , Alphanumeric Display Coprocessor (ADC), and CMM (Communications Control Module – IC693CMM311), only work in a CPU baseplate.

Rack Number DIP Switch on Expansion and Remote Baseplates

Each baseplate in a Series 90-30 system is identified with a unique number called a “Rack Number.” Rack Numbers for Expansion and Remote baseplates are selected by setting a DIP switch located on each baseplate directly above the connector for Slot 1. Rack number 0 must always be present and is assigned, by default, to the CPU rack (the CPU baseplate does not have this DIP switch). Racks do not need to be contiguously numbered, although for consistency and clarity, it is recommended that rack numbers not be skipped (use 1, 2, 3 – not 1, 3, 5). Rack numbers must not be duplicated within a system. The following table shows the DIP switch positions for rack number selection.

The particular CPU module used determines how may expansion and remote baseplates are allowed:
The 331, 340, and 341 CPUs support a total of four Expansion and/or Remote racks.
The 350, 351, 352, 360, 363, 364, and 374 CPUs support a total of seven Expansion and/or
Remote racks.
Each baseplate has a label above the DIP switch that shows the settings for each rack number. The following figure shows this DIP switch package with an example of rack #2 number selected.
Note
Use a ball-point pen to set the DIP switches. In general, it is best to avoid using a pencil to set DIP switches since graphite from the pencil can damage the switch.

Baseplate Mounting Dimensions

Note: Series 90-30 PLCs must be mounted in a protective enclosure. The enclosure should be
capable of properly dissipating the heat produced by all of the devices mounted inside it. For details on calculating heat dissipation, refer to Appendix F.
Series 90-30 PLC baseplates are designed to be panel mounted. Each baseplate has standard attachment flanges for mounting on an electrical panel. Baseplate dimensions and proper spacing requirements for installation purposes for both the 5 and 10-slot baseplates with embedded CPU (Models 311 and Model 313 are 5-slot baseplates; Model 323 is a 10-slot baseplate), and the 5 and 10-slot baseplates for Modular CPUs are shown in figures 3-1 through 3-4.
Note
All 5-slot baseplates have the same mounting dimensions and all 10-slot baseplates have the same mounting dimensions. Baseplates must be mounted in
the orientation as shown in the following figures for proper cooling.

Field Wiring Connections for the AC/DC Input Power Supplies

The two AC/DC input power supplies have six terminals for user connections. These connections are described below.
AC Power Source Connections
The Hot, Neutral, and Ground wires from the 120 VAC power source or L1, L2, and Ground wires from the 240 VAC power source connect to the system through the top three terminals of the terminal strip on the front of the power supply.
DC Power Source Connections
Connect the + and - wires from the 125 VDC (nominal) power source to the top two terminals on the terminal connector. These connections are not polarity-sensitive on an AC/DC input power supply. (However, the DC Input-only type supplies, which are discussed later in this chapter, are polarity sensitive.)
Input Overvoltage Protection Devices
This information applies to all Series 90-30 power supplies except IC693PWR322 and IC693PWR328. The overvoltage protection devices for this power supply are
connected internally to pin 4 on the user terminal strip. This pin is normally connected to frame ground (pin 3) with the supplied jumper strap which is installed at the factory. If overvoltage protection is not required or is supplied upstream, this feature can be disabled by removing the jumper strap from pins 3 and 4.
GFK-0356Q Chapter 4 Power Supplies 4-5
