UR6CH
- Multi-Protocol Integration: The UR6CH eliminates the need for external gateways by supporting multiple industrial protocols.
- High-Speed Performance: Enables sub-millisecond data transfer for real-time control systems.
- Remote Access: Secure remote monitoring and firmware updates via Ethernet.
- Rugged Design: Operates in temperatures from -40°C to +70°C, suitable for extreme environments.
Case Study: A power plant upgraded its legacy system with UR6CH modules to integrate Modbus-based generators with EtherNet/IP controllers, reducing maintenance costs by 20%.
The GE UR6CH is ideal for:
- Manufacturing: Machine-to-machine communication in automotive assembly lines.
- Energy: Monitoring renewable energy sources in smart grids.
- Water/Wastewater: Centralized control of pump stations across a distributed network.
Example: In a pharmaceutical factory, the UR6CH coordinated production lines via EtherNet/IP, improving efficiency by 15%.
Compared to similar modules, the UR6CH offers broader protocol support and faster data throughput. Its built-in security features (e.g., password protection) enhance network security without additional hardware.

UR6CH
- Protocol Requirements: Choose the UR6CH if your system requires EtherNet/IP, Modbus, and Profibus integration.
- Redundancy Needs: Opt for dual UR6CH modules in critical applications to ensure uninterrupted operation.
- Scalability: Ensure compatibility with your PACSystems chassis (e.g., IC695CHS001 for expansion).
-
Network Configuration: Use GE’s Proficy Machine Edition software for proper IP address assignment.
-
Power Supply: Ensure stable 24 VDC power to avoid module malfunction.
-
Firmware Updates: Regularly update firmware to access the latest features and security patches.
