GE IC660ELB912 Genius Network Interface Module

The IC660ELB912 is a Genius network interface module designed by GE Fanuc3. It serves as a daughterboard that can be attached to a single – slot or two – slots IBM PC interface module (PCIM)3. This module enables the control of remote I/O and allows connection to an existing Genius I/O bus3. It uses the Genius communication protocol for data exchange, acting as a bridge between external devices and a GE programmable logic controller (PLC) system, which can connect sensors, actuators, and other industrial equipment to the PLC network1. The module is capable of controlling up to thirty (30) bus devices at communication baud rates of 38.4 k, 76.8 k, 153.6 k standard, or 153.6 k extended3. It effectively frees up the host by handling all data transfers between the host and the Genius I/O bus, allowing the host to utilize the features of the Genius I/O, such as high reliability and noise immunity3.
