Features:
- Enables a Series Three remote I/O group to participate in a Series Five PLC configuration.
- Works with the Series Three I/O interface structure that can organize multiple base-unit groups.
- Provides the local link role for an I/O transfer serving a distant Series Three base unit.
Most valid Series Three I/O arrangements can be incorporated into a Series Five system through a Series Three PLC I/O Interface module.
One Series Three I/O interface can connect as many as three base units, and additional groups may be formed by assigning each group to its own interface.
Within a remote group, IC630CCM310 occupies the local side of the communication path while the corresponding I/O Link Remote module resides at the distant rack.

Where IC630CCM310 Fits in the Controller Structure
- Local role: IC630CCM310 is installed at the controlling Series Three base unit rather than at the distant I/O rack.
- Remote partner: The other end of the path uses an I/O Link Remote module in the separated base unit.
- Series Five use: A Series Three remote-I/O group can be incorporated into a Series Five configuration through the Series Three interface arrangement.
- Grouped expansion: Additional Series Three groups are organized through their own I/O interface modules rather than merged into one undefined chain.
Building the IC630CCM310 Local-to-Remote Path
- Connection medium: The local and remote modules communicate over a two-conductor twisted-pair path with the required ground arrangement.
- Electrical layer: The remote-I/O communication path is RS-422 compatible.
- Reach: The complete path from the local position to the last remote rack can extend to 3300 ft (1 km).
- Role order: Keep IC630CCM310 at the local end and trace the pair continuously to the remote module before assigning I/O.
Organizing Series Three Remote Racks with IC630CCM310
- Rack purpose: Each remote base unit is dedicated to either input service or output service.
- Slot boundary: Input and output circuits are not mixed within one remote-I/O slot.
- Base-unit grouping: Up to three Series Three base units may be connected to one Series Three I/O interface.
- Expansion method: Multiple groups remain possible when every group is connected through a separate interface module.
Selecting the Transfer Size for IC630CCM310
- Available blocks: The remote-I/O transfer is selected for 8, 16, 32, or 64 points.
- Excluded count: A 48-point transfer is not an available selection for this arrangement.
- Endpoint agreement: The chosen point block must be reproduced at the local and remote sides of the planned chain.
- Commissioning record: Preserve the selected count with the rack assignment so later service work does not alter the intended I/O image.
