The GE Fanuc IC660CBB902K is a Phase B enhanced Genius I/O bus controller designed to interface GE Series 6 PLC systems with the Genius I/O serial bus architecture. It enables centralized control and real-time data exchange across a daisy-chained industrial network, managing up to 31 Genius I/O devices including block modules, field interfaces, and Hand-Held Monitors (HHM). Featuring built-in diagnostic reporting, selectable baud rates, and support for high-density I/O configurations, the IC660CBB902K facilitates reliable control integration across main and remote rack assemblies.
Functional Overview and Network Topology
As a Phase B bus controller module, the IC660CBB902K acts as a communication bridge between the Series 6 PLC host CPU and field-level Genius I/O devices over a single twisted-pair serial bus. It supports advanced network features including CPU-to-CPU datagram messaging, redundant bus configurations, and direct integration with specialized blocks such as Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) modules and high-density Genius I/O blocks utilizing over 64 input/output bits.
The front panel features two status LEDs—"BOARD OK" and "COMM OK"—for instant module health and network activity diagnostics, along with an integrated Hand-Held Monitor (HHM) port for direct local bus troubleshooting and configuration. Network connections are established via four upper serial bus terminals, while on-board jumpers (JP1, JP2, and JP3) allow precise configuration of daisy-chain line termination resistance.
Installation and Rack Compatibility
The module installs directly into standard Series 6 CPU slots, local high-capacity I/O racks, or remote I/O expansion racks. Operating across non-standard communication baud rates up to a maximum distance of 2,000 feet (excluding the 153.6 kbps standard rate reserved for Phase A controllers), the Phase B architecture ensures optimal signal integrity and high-speed data transmission across complex network layouts.
