The GE Fanuc IC693PCM300 Programmable Coprocessor module (PCM) is a solid-state microcomputer module used as a coprocessor in the GE-FANUC series 90-30 PLCS. Depending on the application being processed by the PLC, the PCM can be used as a communication coprocessor module (CCM) or ASCII/BASIC module (ABM). It comes with 2 serial ports that can be used as a connection point for communication coprocessor module functions or to run MegaBasic applications. Installing the GE Fanuc IC693PCM300 programmable coprocessor module is very simple as it occupies only one slot in any 90-30 series baseboard, but precautions should be taken as it does not allow hot-swapable operation.

Industrial computers, peripheral displays, process controllers and other devices can communicate with GE Fanuc series 90-30 PLCS by using the GE Fanuc IC693PCM300 programmable coprocessor module as an interface or communication gateway. The GE Fanuc IC693PCM300 programmable coprocessor module can edit, configure and adjust various MegaBasic operating interface functions, such as data acquisition, data storage and retrieval, and real-time computing, to accommodate the monitoring and control of different application processes and machinery. Even after a power outage, user memory is retained on the module by using the internal lithium battery that came with the factory. There are 3 status leds on the module, including an OK LED indicating the status of the module and 2 user-configurable leds called User 1 and User 2. When the module is working properly, the OK LED will light up, when the module is not working, the OK LED will go off and blink during the power-on diagnosis.
