Description

The General Electric IC600RB752 is a Series Six Redundant Processor Unit (RPU) Device Switch Module engineered to facilitate peripheral sharing between dual redundant central processing units. This specialized hardware module incorporates twelve independent Form C reed relays, enabling external peripherals such as printers, CRTs, and communication links to dynamically switch between the master and backup CPUs based on active bus positioning. A front-mounted 36-point connector provides secure physical access to all relay signal terminals for external device integration.

In addition to peripheral switching, the module provides vital hardware isolation between the CPU and I/O switch architecture and the Data Control Module memory space within the RPU rack. It features an integrated watchdog timer, a seven-segment status display for instant system configuration and error code diagnostics, and onboard configuration jumpers that dictate data transfer parameters and scan time limitations. The unit slides directly into designated rack slots within legacy Series Six automation architectures.

Features

  • Equipped with twelve Form C reed relays for reliable, low-current peripheral switching between redundant processors
  • Integrated seven-segment LED display provides real-time system configuration status and RPU error diagnostics
  • Onboard configuration jumpers support customized data transfer protocols and scan time limits
  • Built-in watchdog timer function ensures rapid detection of processor or hardware lockups
  • Front-access 36-point connector simplifies external wiring termination for CRTs, printers, and analog devices
  • Provides electrical isolation between CPU chains and Data Control Module memory arrays

Applications

  • Dynamic sharing of communication lines, host computers, or modems between master and backup CPU communications modules
  • Multiplexing analog instrumentation or terminals between primary and secondary analog input/output control cards
  • Redundant industrial controller architecture maintenance where uninterrupted peripheral access is critical
  • Legacy GE Series Six RPU rack expansion and fault isolation upgrades

FAQ

What is the primary function of the GE IC600RB752 module?

The IC600RB752 is a Redundant Processor Unit (RPU) Device Switch Module designed for Series Six PLC systems. It utilizes 12 Form C reed relays to allow external peripherals such as printers, CRTs, and modems to be shared dynamically between master and backup CPUs.

How are external devices connected to the IC600RB752 module?

External peripherals connect via a 36-point connector located directly on the front faceplate of the module, where all normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common (C) relay terminals are clearly labeled.

What are the electrical ratings for the onboard relays?

The 12 Form C reed relays are rated for a maximum current of 250 mA and a maximum voltage of 25 VDC or VAC, intended strictly for resistive loads with a maximum switch bounce of 5 milliseconds.

What power supply is required for this module?

The module requires 5 VDC at 1.5 Amps, which is drawn directly from the RPU main power supply within the rack architecture.

What does the seven-segment display on the module indicate?

The seven-segment LED display indicates system configuration status, normal operating modes, and specific RPU hardware error codes, while a flashing display signifies a watchdog timer timeout.
