IC690ACC900
CONVERTOR MODULE RS232 TO RS485/422
GE Fanuc IC690ACC900 is the RS-422/RS-485 to RS-232 Converter, a Series 90 accessory used to connect the serial port of a Series 90-70 PLC CPU to a programming computer or other RS-232 serial device.
The IC690ACC900 is a GE Fanuc serial interface converter that translates between the RS-422/RS-485 serial port of Series 90-70 CPUs and RS-232 devices. GE documentation also refers to it as an RS-232/RS-485 converter.
GE Series 90-70 data sheets describe connecting a CPU serial port to a programming computer or other serial device through this converter or through the IC690ACC901 RS-232 to RS-422 Miniconverter. A GE figure shows the converter between the CPUs and the programmer, using multidrop cable IC690CBL714.
Its dedicated GE data sheet is GFK-0550E. Resellers list revisions IC690ACC900A and IC690ACC900B, and one reseller describes it as being for a handheld programmer.
