Technical Specifications

Description

The GE IC660CBB902 Series 6 PLC Bus Controller enables seamless communication between the Series 6 PLC and Genius I/O devices. It supports up to 31 I/O devices, including Genius I/O blocks, interface devices, and handheld monitors. This module is designed for use in both CPU slots and remote I/O racks, providing flexibility in system configuration.

Operating as part of the Phase B enhanced bus controller family, the IC660CBB902 supports a wide range of baud rates (excluding the 153.6 Kilobaud standard rate) and can manage long-distance connections up to 2000 feet. It is ideal for applications where large I/O capacities are required, especially in systems with more than 64 I/O bits or where RTD blocks are used.

The built-in diagnostics feature offers real-time system monitoring, making troubleshooting more efficient. It is also compatible with Series 6 PLC systems supporting CPU-to-CPU communication and bus redundancy configurations, further enhancing system reliability.
