IC660BBD020

IC660BBD020 is a Discrete I/O Module developed by GE Fanuc. It is a versatile 24/48 VDC source I/O block from the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). It is designed to interface with 3-wire solid-state and electromechanical sensors, making it highly adaptable for various industrial applications. The block is configurable, allowing each of its 16 discrete circuits to function as inputs, tristate inputs, or outputs with a range of adjustable parameters and features.

Features

• Circuit Configuration: Offers 16 discrete circuits, each of which can be independently configured to serve as an input, tristate input, or output. This flexibility allows the block to be tailored to specific application needs, whether for monitoring, control, or a combination of both.
• Power Supply and Output: This block operates on a 24 or 48 VDC power supply, providing current only to output devices. It ensures reliable operation and connectivity between the PLC and field devices, such as sensors and actuators. Each circuit's status is indicated by corresponding LED indicators, allowing easy monitoring of each input and output.
• Advanced Diagnostics: Equipped with sophisticated diagnostic capabilities that detect installation issues or runtime errors. It can identify and report problems such as short circuits, over-temperature conditions, failed switches, open wires, overloads, and no-load situations. These diagnostics are crucial for maintaining system integrity and ensuring timely corrective actions.
• Compatibility and Installation: Compatible with the Terminal Assembly IC66TSD020 version C or later. However, it is not compatible with earlier versions assemblies unless they are upgraded. For monitoring and configuration, any handheld monitor can be used except for the IC66HHM501, which requires additional configuration.

Installation

• Proper installation requires a clean, contaminant-free environment with adequate cooling airflow.
• The block can be mounted in any orientation, right-side up or upside down, but special attention must be given to grounding, especially using the block’s mounting screws.
• A short, reliable ground lead is essential to ensuring proper operation.

Diagnostic Features

• Over-Temperature Protection: Automatically shuts down the block if the temperature exceeds 100°C, protecting the system from heat-related damage.
• Short Circuit Protection: Quickly disables a circuit if it detects a current above 10 Amps, preventing potential damage to connected devices.
• Failed Switch Detection: Identifies and reports switches that do not operate correctly.
• Open Wire Detection: Detects and alerts if there is a disconnection in the wiring.
• Overload and No-Load Detection: Monitors circuits for overload conditions and ensures that the circuits are properly loaded.
