B&R Industrial Automation 3IF060.6 Interface Module

The B&R 3IF060.6 is a 2005 interface module in the System 2005 backplane, offered as the single-slot base (IF060) that accepts interface module inserts to extend the machine’s communication capabilities. It is installed in the main rack and provides 1 insert slot for connectable interface modules, allowing you to tailor the backplane with the desired I/O interfaces without swapping the core controller. The family supports several inserts, including 3IF613.9 (three RS232 interfaces), 3IF621.9 (one RS485/RS422 interface and one CAN), 3IF622.9 (one RS232 and two RS485/RS422), 3IF661.9 (one RS485 interface for PROFIBUS DP slave), 3IF671.9 (one RS232, one RS485/RS422 and one CAN), 3IF672.9 (one RS232 and two CAN), and 3IF686.9 (POWERLINK interface). The module carries CE, UKCA, and UL (cULus E115267) markings as part of B&R’s Industrial Control Equipment certifications. Its official description lists it as a “2005 interface module, 1 insert slot for connectable interface modules” with material number 3IF060.6, reinforcing its role as the base for insertable interface modules that plug into the IF060.
