The GE IC600YB901/RR is a Remote I/O Transmitter Card designed for the legacy GE Series Six Plus programmable logic controller (PLC) system. This module is a key component for distributed control, enabling the main CPU to communicate with and control devices located in a remote I/O rack.
Product Overview
This card acts as a communication bridge, transmitting data between the main CPU rack and a remote I/O rack over a communication cable. Unlike the local transmitter card, the IC600YB901/RR allows for a greater physical distance between the main PLC rack and the controlled equipment, which is essential for large-scale industrial plants.
- Function: Transmits data between the main CPU rack and a remote I/O rack.
- System Compatibility: Specifically for the GE Series Six Plus PLC system.
- Application: Used in industrial automation systems for controlling and monitoring machinery that is geographically separate from the main PLC. It is a critical component for maintenance and repair of legacy systems.
Since the GE Series Six Plus line is an obsolete product, the IC600YB901/RR is no longer manufactured. Companies that still operate these systems rely on specialized vendors who sell surplus or refurbished industrial parts to find replacements.
Related Components
If you’re working with this remote I/O transmitter card, you’ll also be using other Series Six Plus components, such as:
- Remote I/O Receiver Card: This card is installed in the remote I/O rack and works in conjunction with the transmitter card to receive data from the main CPU.
- CPU Module: The central processing unit in the main rack that sends and receives data through the transmitter card.
- I/O Racks: The physical chassis for holding the I/O modules, which are often located in different control cabinets.
