More Information

Overview Manuals Link Design Port Config CCM Data Startup

Features:

  • Provides two programmable serial interfaces for the Series Six CPU.
  • Supports CCM communication over RS-232 and RS-422 links.
  • Uses a 1024-byte quick-access buffer with expanded memory references.
IC600CB536 connects the controller with hosts, peer CCM devices, terminals, process systems, and operator interfaces.

Each port has its own physical and protocol context, making the saved configuration as important as the replacement board.

The Type 2 module is for CCM; RTU-dependent applications require the Type 3 option.

Choose the interface from distance and topology

  • Serial interface: IC600CB536 RS-232 serves short direct runs, while RS-422 supports the long-distance or multidrop arrangement.
  • Cable path: Match each transmit and receive pair, shield, ground, and termination to the verified port wiring plan.
  • Indicator meaning: A cable assembled by connector shape alone can cross the differential pairs.
  • Modem signals: For modem service, preserve control-signal timing and the remote modem setup.

Keep both channels independently recorded

  • Address map: Record electrical mode, rate, address, master or slave role, timeout, and attached device for each IC600CB536 port.
  • Application path: Capture the CPU ID and any application request that moves data through the module.
  • Functional proof: Test one port without changing the other.
  • Message baseline: Retain a successful message trace as the commissioning baseline.

Verify the intended CPU data areas

  • CPU data access: The module can exchange expanded I/O, override, register, and user-memory information under CCM rules.
  • Program record: Map every host command to an authorized destination before testing writes.
  • Program context: Use safe values and confirm the receiving program logic.
  • Data direction: A successful link is incomplete until the correct data and update direction are proven.

Use the indicator sequence to separate setup faults

  • Rack arrangement: Check IC600CB536 rack position, backplane switch state, CPU ID, and port configuration before power-up.
  • LED evidence: An unexpected LED sequence should be recorded before cycling power.
  • Fault isolation: Compare it with CPU communication and the matching fault sequence.
  • Release criterion: Release the link to normal service only after both the hardware and application exchange are repeatable.
Description
General Electric IC600CB536 is the later Communications Control Module Type 2 for Series Six and Series Six Plus PLCs. The module provides two serial interfaces, status switches, and four indicators for communication control.

The CCM2 supports point-to-point and multidrop arrangements using RS-232 or RS-422. Direct RS-422 can reach the documented long-line limit, while modem connections support links beyond the direct cable distance.

A 1024-byte Quick Access Buffer and expanded memory references allow IC600CB536 to exchange data with CPUs, hosts, programmable terminals, process-control systems, color-graphics terminals, and an Operator Interface Unit. The Type 2 module uses CCM protocol rather than the RTU option provided by CCM3.

Commissioning should start with the saved port modes, device roles, addresses, cable pairs, and request logic. In a Series Six Plus rack the supported CCM position and backplane switch state must also be verified before power-up.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
What must be transferred from an existing IC600CB536?
Save each IC600CB536 port interface, baud rate, station role, address, timeout, cable pinout, request logic, buffer use, and attached-device configuration.
Why can IC600CB536 work on one port but not the other?
The two IC600CB536 interfaces are configured independently. Compare electrical mode, cable pairs, address, timing, and remote-device role for the failing channel.
How should an RS-422 multidrop fault on IC600CB536 be isolated?
For IC600CB536, verify the master and slave roles, unique addresses, matched transmit and receive pairs, grounding, line continuity, and one device at a time.
Can IC600CB536 communicate with an RTU-only device?
IC600CB536 is the CCM2 and supports CCM protocol. An application requiring the documented RTU protocol should be reviewed for the Type 3 CCM rather than forced onto CCM2.
What should be checked if IC600CB536 indicators show a power-up error?
Compare the IC600CB536 indication with the matching fault code, CPU ID, backplane setting, port configuration, module seating, and rack supply before changing communication wiring.
Why does the IC600CB536 rack position matter?
Series Six and Series Six Plus dedicate specific positions to the CCM. Incorrect IC600CB536 placement or backplane switch settings can prevent CPU communication.
What proves an IC600CB536 replacement is ready for service?
Demonstrate successful controlled exchanges on both used IC600CB536 ports, confirm expected CPU data areas, capture status, and repeat the normal restart sequence with the host.
