Product Name
The IC660ELB912 module is a high-reliability Ethernet local bus module, part of GE Fanuc's Series 90-30 PLC system, designed for industrial communication expansion. The "IC660" prefix identifies it as a component of GE's Series 90-30 I/O family; "ELB" denotes its role as an Ethernet Local Bus module, enabling network connectivity for the PLC; and "912" specifies its configuration with enhanced data throughput and protocol support. This module serves as a network interface between Series 90-30 PLCs and Ethernet-based control systems, facilitating data exchange via protocols like Modbus TCP/IP and Ethernet/IP. It is widely used in manufacturing lines, water treatment plants, and material handling systems—where seamless communication between PLCs and SCADA/HMI systems is critical for real-time process control.
Product Description
Manufacturing Line PLC-to-SCADA Communication
In an automotive component manufacturing line, the IC660ELB912 module connects a Series 90-30 PLC (controlling robotic assembly stations) to a SCADA system via Ethernet. It transmits real-time production data (e.g., part count, cycle time, error codes) at 100ms intervals, enabling the SCADA to monitor line efficiency and trigger maintenance alerts for equipment showing 异常 trends (e.g., increasing cycle time).
