Description
The General Electric IC660CBB902G is a Series Six Genius I/O Bus Controller designed to manage communication between the Series Six PLC and the Genius I/O network. This module acts as a critical interface, allowing the PLC to exchange data with remote I/O devices, thereby extending the control capabilities of the automation system across the plant floor.
Features
- Supports connection for up to 31 individual Genius I/O devices.
- Configurable via CPU or handheld monitor for flexible system integration.
- Supports a maximum communication distance of 2000 feet (approx. 609 meters).
- Selectable baud rates to accommodate various network speed requirements (excluding the 153.6 Kilobaud standard rate).
- Phase B hardware revision for compatibility with established Series Six architectures.
Applications
This bus controller is primarily utilized in industrial automation environments where distributed I/O is required. It is commonly found in manufacturing plants, process control systems, and heavy industrial machinery where the Series Six PLC platform is employed to manage complex I/O arrays over long distances.
