Ge Fanuc IC660EBD021 , I/O Block Is A 16-Circuit Source And Sink I/O Block

Technical Information

The GE Fanuc IC660EBD021 I/O block is a 16-circuit source and sink I/O block and electronic assembly manufactured as a Genius I/O series I/O block.
 

These blocks are intelligent and also configurable so that they can interface to a variety of discrete DC sensors and actuators. There are 2 versions of the DC 16-circuit source blocks that are categorized by the power supply type and intended use,and these 2 block versions are the 24 Volts DC source block option and the 24/48 Volts DC source block option. The DC 16-circuit sink blocks are also available in 2 versions, which are the 24/48 Volts DC and the 24 Volts DC sink block versions.
 

Both the source and sink blocks are designed and intended to provide current to the output devices. The Genius I/O IC660EBD021 block has over-temperature, open-wire, and failed-switch input diagnostics. It also comes with a selectable-input filter duration of between 5 and 100 milliseconds.

Some of the IC660EBD021 I/O block specifications for this module include a maximum ripple of 10 percent, the dropout time for the power supply is 10 milliseconds, and it has 1500 Volts of block-to-block isolation voltage. The IC660EBD021 DC 16-circuit source and sink I/O block feature 16 discrete circuits, which can all be configured as outputs, inputs, or tri-state inputs.

These output circuits also allow for direct connection to the input circuits without using other modules or logic states inversions. The GE Fanuc IC660EBD021 block taps the control power from I/O devices connected to various terminals. There is no additional or separate source of power needed for these blocks. Other notable configurable features of this source/sink I/O block are the output pulse test and output powerup defaults.

About IC660EBD021

The IC660EBD021 I/O block is a 16-circuit DC I/O block manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms/GE Fanuc as part of the GE Genius I/O series. This module is an intelligent, configurable block that can be used to interface with a variety of discrete DC actuators and sensors. It also includes 2 DC-powered 16-circuit sources that provide current to the field output devices. The IC660EBD021 16-circuit sinks or source I/O block comes with 16 isolated circuits that can be configured to be outputs, inputs, or tristate inputs. Output circuits can be connected to the input circuits without using any other components or logic state inversion. This unit comes with configurable features such as the output pulse test functionality, the output powerup defaults, and a selectable input filter time of 10 to 100 microseconds. It also has an output “hold last state” or default configuration feature.

The GE Fanuc IC660EBD021 I/O block has radical diagnostics that can identify installation triggers and runtime errors. The diagnostics features of this block include failed switch detection, over-temperature protection, overload detection and shutdown, no-load detection, and open-wire detection for the tristate inputs. The GE Fanuc IC660EBD021 I/O block weighs approximately 4 pounds or 1.8 kilograms, and it has a heat dissipation rating of 68.8 Watts with all 16 outputs powered on at current of 2 Amps. The required current for DC power is 150 milliamps typical and 200 milliamps maximum. The power supply dropout time is 10 microseconds. When it is in the on-state, the voltage rating is 24 Volts DC of supply voltage with a source block voltage range of 16 to 24 Volts DC and a sink block voltage range of 0 to 8 Volts DC.
