Executes Series 90-30 control logic while providing embedded Ethernet communications.
Product Identification
IC693CPU374-BF is the BF hardware execution of the Series 90-30 CPU374 controller. The complete suffix belongs in the installed-hardware and recovery record.
GE Fanuc documents the CPU374 base model with a 133 MHz processor, 240 Kbytes of user memory and embedded autosensing 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet.
These base-family facts do not erase revision differences; BF should be checked against firmware, project software and any proposed alternate suffix.
Engineering Data
Functions
Uses the CPU374 base-model processor and published user-memory capacity.
Supports autosensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet through the documented RJ-45 interfaces.
Keeps BF separate from DJ and other CPU374 hardware revisions.
Applications
- Installed Series 90-30 systems requiring the BF hardware identity.
- Networked machine and process control with a recoverable CPU374 project.
- Legacy replacement where firmware and programming-software support are documented.
- Controlled spares organized by exact CPU374 revision.
Lifecycle
- Back up logic, hardware configuration, reference data and all Ethernet settings.
- Photograph the BF label and record firmware, rack, power supply and communication peers.
- Review compatibility before loading the project into any different CPU374 revision.
- Verify diagnostics, I/O, network traffic, retained data and the approved restart sequence.
FAQ
Q01What should accompany an IC693CPU374-BF enquiry?
Provide the complete BF label, firmware, rack and power-supply models, programming-software release, project archive and network record.
Q02Can IC693CPU374-DJ replace IC693CPU374-BF without review?
No. Although both are CPU374 units, the revision, firmware, software support and installed application must be compared.
Q03What recovery material should be stored for IC693CPU374-BF?
Keep a verified project, hardware configuration, reference-data backup, network parameters and a documented restore procedure.
Q04How should Ethernet commissioning be limited after exchange?
Reconnect the staged CPU in a controlled network state, verify identity and peer communications, then release process traffic under the approved plan.
Q05What proves IC693CPU374-BF is ready for service?
Confirm BF identity, correct project checksum, clean diagnostics, stable I/O and Ethernet operation, retained data and approved restart behavior.
