GE IC600CB536L Serial Communication Board
GE IC600CB536L
Introduction
The GE IC600CB536L is an industrial communication board belonging to the GE Fanuc Series Six programmable controller family. Classified as a CCM2 module, it provides two serial communication channels for exchanging data between the PLC and external intelligent devices.
In traditional industrial automation architectures, reliable communication is essential for coordinating controllers, supervisory computers, and operator terminals. This module provides the necessary serial interfaces to support these connections.
Hardware and Interface Design
The board combines electronic communication circuits, two serial ports, configuration switches, and diagnostic indicators.
Its front-panel interfaces support different serial communication arrangements. Depending on the selected configuration, the module can communicate through RS-232C or RS-422 connections.
Key hardware information:
- Two serial communication ports.
- 25-pin and 9-pin connector interfaces.
- Four front-panel status LEDs.
- Two configuration switches.
- Rack-powered electronic design.
- Compatibility with GE Series Six control architecture.

Role in Industrial Automation
The module helps establish communication between PLC equipment and external devices. For example, a supervisory computer can exchange process information with the controller, while operator terminals can access relevant control data.
In addition, its multidrop capability allows several devices to participate in the same communication network. This makes it useful for distributed industrial control arrangements.
Typical Industries
The module is suitable for established automation installations in:
- Steel and metal processing
- Power generation
- Chemical processing
- Paper manufacturing
- Industrial machinery
- Factory automation
Maintenance and Configuration
Correct configuration is essential for dependable serial communication. Technicians should check the selected communication interface, baud rate, parity settings, and network topology before commissioning.
During routine servicing, inspect the board connectors and communication cables. Moreover, monitor the status LEDs to identify potential communication errors or connection problems.
System Compatibility
The module is designed for the GE Fanuc Series Six PLC platform. Although related communication modules exist within this product family, different CCM generations may support different protocols and functions. Therefore, hardware revisions and communication requirements should be verified before replacing an existing module.
Conclusion
The GE IC600CB536L provides dual-port serial communication for Series Six PLC systems. Its RS-232C and RS-422 interfaces, together with point-to-point and multidrop capabilities, make it an important communication component in legacy industrial automation networks.
