GE IC600 CB526KCAL – Expanded Logic Control Module

This expanded logic control module handles complex sequencing and interlocking tasks. It belongs to the GE Series Six I/O family for large automation systems. You can use this unit to replace a failed board or upgrade an existing rack.

Key Technical Specifications

Physical Layout and Rack Mounting

This module measures 305 mm in width and 165 mm in height. Its thickness reaches 25 mm for standard Series Six racks. The unit weighs 680 grams due to the multi-layer PCB construction. Two 48-pin edge connectors plug directly into the backplane slots.

Internal Architecture and Energy Storage

One hundred ninety-eight components populate this expanded logic board. Six 1000 µF capacitors create a total energy storage of 6000 µF. This large capacitor bank sustains logic states during backplane power transients. Consequently, the module avoids random resets in noisy industrial environments. The onboard processor executes ladder logic and maintains all register values reliably.

Logic Execution and Memory Capacity

The module holds 4K words of user memory for complex control strategies. Each word stores contact, coil, or timer instructions for your application. You can program conditional branching, math operations, and data moves. Therefore, this board suits batch processing or material handling systems perfectly. Scan time averages 5 ms per 1K of active logic.

Diagnostic Features and Field Replacement

LED indicators on the front panel show power status and CPU health. A red fault light alerts you to memory corruption or hardware errors. You can replace this module without shutting down the entire rack. Simply disconnect field wiring, unlock the ejectors, and pull the board straight out. The new unit will resume execution from the start of your stored program.
