The GE Series 90-30 PLC became obsolete in 2018, but there are still sites that use it in production today. I recently got to work with one to make a backup of the program, and make some programming changes. I wanted to create this guide to put everything I learned in one place and give credit to those who helped along the way!

Depending on the 90-30 firmware revision, Machine Edition may not be compatible. Some documentation references a numerical revision number (4.40 or greater) which is great, but the 90-30 PLC may only show the letter based revision at the end of the part number (IC693CPU321K).

Many sources stated Logicmaster needs to be used in DOS or Windows XP. I was able to install Logicmaster with no hiccups. However, just for the fun of it I tried to install it on my Windows 10 VM and different compatibility modes, but it failed.

The PLC may automatically connect. If not, press F7 to go to setup, then F4 to go to PLC Communications Serial Port Setup. Here, check the COM port is the same as your PC COM port, and the serial settings match your COM port. Mine are 19200, ODD, 1, 0.

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

Although there are many choices of individual hardware components to use in a system, there are just a few basic categories.

If the GE Fanuc 90-30 is your primary PLC / PAC, it may be time to consider the future of your control system. Although your 90-30 system may still be operating, eventually the time will come when maintenance is required. As always, when replacing equipment the first question to ask is whether your production needs have evolved or increased. Originally released over 20 years ago, the obsolete Fanuc 90-30 PLC may no longer be able to keep up with your current requirements.

Thankfully, there is already an ideal replacement for the GE Fanuc 90-30: the Emerson RX3i PLC. Upgrading your GE Fanuc90-30 program to the Emerson RX3i is a simple migration. The RX3i PLC offers significantly more processing power, enhanced security, and communication options that did not exist 20 years ago. Minimal conduit re-working helps save on installation costs. How cool is that? Some migrations have been completed in a matter of hours, reducing downtime operating losses and getting your system up and running faster. Not only is the install time market-leading, your control system now has now advanced into the 21st century. We are hoping to clarify any questions you have about migrating to the RX3i in this blog and provide some typical migration steps to help you through the process. As always, if you have any questions or would like to speak with an engineer, call Instrumart at 1-800-884-4967 or visit our website.

Review to confirm a successful conversion. Some logic blocks do not transfer over to the RX3i correctly. This report will indicate where in your control program you will need to make manual changes. Everything else is done automatically!

Schedule an on-site visit with one of our engineers to walk you through the process and get you started. Or, feel free to give us a call to speak with an applications engineer today. If this guide still leaves you wondering what type of industrial instrumentation would work best for your application, our engineers would be happy to help you. Give them a call at 1-800-884-4967. Or, you can shop for a wide range of industrial instrumentation from top brands and even configure your product online. We offer free lifetime tech support with every product sold.

Buongiorno a tutti, devo effettuare l'upload della logica di un Ge Fanuc 90-30 CPU350, ma quando vado a fare l'upload (ho provato sia con proficy 7.0, che con Versapro 2.04), fallisce restituendomi errore 8287, che indica che il rung di un sottoprogramma troppo lungo. Posseggo, un progetto di questo plc, ma la logica quando vado a collegarmi risulta NE. C' un modo per effettuare l'upload escludendo il sottoprogramma contenente il rung che mi restituisce l'errore?, o un'altro modo per effettuare l'upload?. Grazie a tutti

Hello everyone, I have to upload the logic of a Ge Fanuc 90-30 CPU350, but when I go to upload (I tried both with proficy 7.0, and with Versapro 2.04), it fails giving me error 8287, which indicates that the rung of a subroutine is too long. I have a project of this plc, but the logic when I go to connect is NE. Is there a way to upload by excluding the subroutine containing the rung giving me the error ?, or another way to upload? Thank you all

What software was used to create the backup project file you have? If you imported a Logicmaster or VersaPro project file into Proficy, when you go online with the PLC it will always show as not equal due to the change in software platform. You have to perform a download to achieve logic equality, even if the project file you imported is actually the same as the program running in the PLC.

Try this. Open your backup project and try to find the offending rung in the subroutine. Correct the rung. Then get another CPU module. Download the corrected program to it and use it in place of the existing CPU350 to make sure if it correctly controls your machine. That way, if the backup program isn't the latest, you still have the correct version on the original CPU. Be sure to attach a battery to the CPU module when you remove it from the rack.

The output switching capacity of each output is 2 amps. The output points are arranged in four groups of four points each. Each group has a common power output terminal. The relay outputs can control a wide range of user-supplied load devices, such as: motor starters, solenoids, and indicators. Power for the internal relay circuits is provided by the +24 volt DC bus on the backplane. The user must supply the AC or DC power to operate field devices. There are no fuses on this module.

LED indicators which provide the ON/OFF status of each point are located at the top of the module. The LEDs are arranged in two horizontal rows with eight green LEDs in each row; the top row labeled A1 through 8 (points 1 through 8) and the bottom row labeled B1 through 8 (points 9 through 16). An insert goes between the inside and outside surface of the hinged door. The surface towards the inside of the module (when the hinged door is closed) has circuit wiring information, and circuit identification information can be recorded on the outside surface. The outside left edge of the insert is color-coded red to indicate a high-voltage module. This module can be installed in any I/O slot of a 5 or 10-slot baseplate in a Series 90-30 PLC system.

The IC693PWR331 is a GE Fanuc Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) module. This unit is a High-capacity power supply that provides Three (3) output voltages for a variety of functions. This power supply delivers +5VDC output with maximum power of 30 Watts, +24VDC Relay output with maximum output power of 15 Watts and +24VDC isolated output with maximum output power of 20 Watts. Being a high-capacity power supply, the 30-Watt load capacity can be assigned to the +5VDC output terminal however, the total output power shall not exceed 30 Watts. The +24VDC Relay power output is used to power electronic circuitry on output relay modules while the +24VDC isolated output module is utilized internally by some of the modules and external power for 24VDC input modules.

The IC693PWR331 is provided with an RS485 communication terminal. This port allows connection to workstation installed with GE Proficy Software for configuration. Additionally, the same port permits connection of Hand-Held Programmer (HHP) and other devices that are RS485 communication standard enabled.
