90 30 Communication Modules
Series 90-30 PLC provides global communications on a Genius Communications bus, facilitating data exchange between Series 90-30 PLCs and other GE Fanuc PLCs. It enables communication with Series 90-70, Series Six, and Series Five PLCs via their Genius Bus Controllers.
The Genius Communications bus is a peer-to-peer, token-passing network designed for high-speed, real-time control data transfer. The network is also highly noise-immune, ensuring reliable data transmission even in harsh industrial environments. Up to eight Series 90-30 PLC CPUs can communicate with each other using a single Genius I/O serial bus over a standard twisted pair, shielded cable.
