GE IC610CPU104A: Central Processing Unit Module for Series Six

This CPU module executes logic instructions and manages all system operations. It processes discrete I/O, analog signals, and communication tasks simultaneously. You can install this unit directly into the main processor rack. The module supports up to 8k words of user logic for medium-sized applications.

Technical Specifications & Key Parameters

Detailed Feature Overview

GE IC610CPU104A provides 8k words of battery-backed memory for user logic. This capacity suits most medium-sized industrial control applications. The module processes 2048 discrete I/O points for large machine control. Additionally, it handles 128 analog inputs and 128 analog outputs smoothly.

A 1000 µF capacitor stores energy for brief power interruptions. This capacitor holds memory contents for 30 seconds during battery replacement. Consequently, you can change the battery without losing your program. The CPU scans 1k word of logic in just 1.0 millisecond. Therefore, the module responds quickly to fast-changing input signals.

Programming and Communication

The RS-232 programming port connects to a standard terminal or PC. Use GE’s Logicmaster Six software to write and debug programs. The module supports relay ladder logic programming only. Five front-panel LEDs provide immediate status feedback. For example, the BATTERY light warns you when battery voltage runs low.

Installation and Power Requirements

This CPU draws 1.5 A from the Series Six backplane at 5V DC. Its 1.8 kg weight requires firm seating in the rack slot. Two locking levers secure the module against vibration. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 60°C. Store the module between -40°C and 85°C for long-term preservation. Always install the memory protect jumper to prevent accidental program overwrites.
