Product Description
Model HE693PBM101F is a single‑slot PROFIBUS‑DP Class 1 master module for GE Fanuc Series 90‑30 PLC, manufactured by Horner APG. It plugs directly into the 90‑30 backplane rack. Electrically‑isolated RS‑485 DP interface via DB9 female connector, supporting up to 64 DP slave devices, max.244‑byte input / 244‑byte output per slave. Only PROFIBUS‑DP is supported; FMS and PA are NOT supported. Front panel LED indicators for PWR, RUN and DP network status. RS‑232 service port for local configuration & diagnostics.

Applications
- Expand GE 90‑30 PLC as PROFIBUS‑DP master; connect DP remote‑IO, drives, servos, transmitters & valve slaves.
- Retrofit & maintenance for legacy factory, metallurgy and power‑plant automation systems.
- Distributed‑rack data exchange between different PLC racks over PROFIBUS‑DP.
Important Notes
- CPU firmware version ≥8.0 is mandatory, older CPU firmware cannot work with this module.
- DP‑Master only; cannot act as DP‑Slave; no PROFIBUS‑PA / FMS support.
- Verify suffix‑F hardware revision before replacement; GSD files of slaves are required during configuration.
- RS‑232 service port is for module setup/diagnosis, not for general user‑data communication.
