Honeywell 2MLB-M06A 6-Slot Main Base – ControlEdge PLC Series
In a continuous process plant — whether it’s a refinery, a chemical reactor, or a power generation facility — a failed or missing PLC base unit doesn’t just halt one machine. It can cascade into a full production shutdown, triggering safety interlocks, emergency venting, and costly unplanned downtime measured in tens of thousands of dollars per hour. The Honeywell 2MLB-M06A Main Base is the physical and electrical backbone that holds your ControlEdge PLC system together, providing the backplane communication, power distribution, and module mounting that every I/O card and processor card depends on. Without it, there is no system.
The 2MLB-M06A is the 6-slot variant within Honeywell’s ControlEdge PLC Main Base lineup — positioned as the compact, high-density solution for skid-mounted systems, remote I/O panels, and space-constrained control cabinets where every DIN-rail millimeter counts. As part of Honeywell’s Experion PKS and ControlEdge ecosystem — one of the most widely deployed process automation platforms across oil & gas, life sciences, and power industries globally — this base unit is a critical long-lifecycle component with multi-decade installed base support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 2MLB-M06A compatible with the Honeywell HC900 controller?
A: The 2MLB-M06A is part of the ControlEdge PLC platform. Please contact us with your full system configuration to confirm compatibility with HC900 or other Honeywell controller families.
Q: What is the difference between the 2MLB-M06A (6-slot) and the 2MLB-M08A (8-slot)?
A: The primary difference is the number of available I/O module slots — 6 vs. 8. The 6-slot base is preferred for compact panels; the 8-slot provides two additional expansion slots for higher I/O density. Both share the same backplane architecture and power distribution design.
Q: Do you ship to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, or Europe?
A: Yes. We ship globally via DHL Express, FedEx International Priority, and UPS Worldwide. Full export documentation including Certificate of Origin is provided upon request.
Q: Can I return the part if it is not compatible?
A: We offer a 30-day return window for unused, uninstalled parts in original packaging. Please contact support@konmask.com before returning any item.
