IC660ELB912J
High-Speed Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity
The IC660ELB921M provides 1Gbps throughput and dual-port flexibility at approximately 1.5 times the cost of the single-port IC660ELB910, making it ideal for users with high-bandwidth needs. A German automotive assembly plant used 12 IC660ELB921M modules to build a gigabit Ethernet network for its RX3i-based production line control system: each module connected an RX3i rack (equipped with IC695CPU331) to 8 robotic arms and 2 HMI terminals. The 1Gbps throughput supported real-time transmission of robotic motion data (1000 data points per second per robot), and the dual-port design enabled separate networks for control and monitoring—reducing data latency by 70% compared to the IC660ELB910, ensuring precise coordination of the assembly line.
Redundant Ring Network for Uninterrupted Operation
Unlike single-port modules (where a cable break shuts down communication), the IC660ELB921M’s ring topology support ensures network redundancy. A US integrated power plant deployed 18 IC660ELB921M modules in a ring network connecting 18 RX3i racks (controlling turbines, boilers, and generators): when a cable between two modules failed, the network recovered within 250ms, and all control loops continued operating without interruption. This reduced unplanned downtime from 4 hours (with single-port modules) to 0 minutes, avoiding $200,000 in lost power generation revenue per incident.
Multi-Protocol Compatibility for Interoperability
Supporting Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, and DNP3.0 protocols, the IC660ELB921M ensures seamless integration with diverse industrial devices. A Chinese smart factory used 8 IC660ELB921M modules to connect its RX3i PLC system with third-party equipment: 4 modules acted as Modbus TCP clients to collect data from Siemens S7-1200 PLCs (controlling conveyors), 2 modules served as Ethernet/IP adapters to communicate with Allen-Bradley VFDs, and 2 modules ran DNP3.0 over IP to send data to the plant’s SCADA system. This compatibility avoided the need for expensive protocol converters (which would have cost $30,000), reducing integration costs by 60%.
Advanced Security and Remote Diagnostics
Equipped with 802.1X authentication and a built-in web server, the IC660ELB921M enhances network security and simplifies maintenance. A Middle Eastern oil refinery deployed 10 IC660ELB921M modules in its hazardous area RX3i systems: 802.1X authentication prevented unauthorized access to the control network, and the web server allowed engineers to remotely configure IP addresses and run ping tests. During a recent maintenance cycle, engineers used the built-in packet capture tool to diagnose a communication issue with a DNP3.0 SCADA link—reducing troubleshooting time by 80% compared to modules without remote diagnostics.
