For those using multiple serial devices, consider pairing this with the GE IC693CMM321 Ethernet module, which enhances networking capabilities. Alternatively, if your setup requires higher durability in extreme temperatures, the Moxa UPort 1150 could serve as a comparable alternative, though it lacks the same level of GE-specific optimizations.

Installation & Maintenance

Installing the IC690USB901 is straightforward—simply plug it into an available USB port on your PC or HMI terminal. From my experience, one thing I appreciate is how little hassle there is during setup. However, ensure proper ventilation around the connected equipment to prevent overheating. For maintenance, periodically check the cable connections for signs of wear, and keep firmware updated if applicable. Cleaning the exterior occasionally with a soft cloth can also help maintain performance.
