Ge Fanuc IC660EBA025 , Genius I/O Analog Current-Sourcing Blocks

Technical Information

The GE Fanuc IC660EBA025 electronic assembly is made for the Genius I/O analog current-sourcing blocks. The IC660EBA025 electronic assembly is an integral component of the Genius I/O block and together with the terminal assembly that is known as the GE IC66TBA025 terminal assembly, it makes up the complete Genius I/O analog current-source output block. The terminal assembly provides a base for all the block wiring, including the connections to field devices, bus cable, and hand-held monitors, and it also houses the EEPROM where all the block configuration settings are stored. The IC660EBA025 electronic assembly, on the other hand, contains the block’s processing unit and it performs all the block’s computation, communications, functions, and data storage actions. The IC660EBA025 electronic assembly has a 24/48 Volt DC output block with 6 current-sourcing output channels that can accept 4 to 20 mill-Amps signals.

Unlike the conventional output blocks in its series, the IC660EBA025 electronic assembly can be extended to accommodate voltage applications by using output channels 5 and 6. Power is supplied equally to all output channels and it is isolated from the rest of the block. The IC660EBA025 electronic assembly comes with dedicated Bus Switching Module (BSM) circuitry that is electrically common with the block’s outputs. The IC660EBA025 electronic assembly supports software configuration and the configurable CPU features include the “output hold last state or default” “circuit scaling to engineering units values”, “output feedback checking and feedback time”, and the “CPU redundancy” features. It also performs advanced diagnostics functions like “output over-range and under-range” and “output feedback” reporting. The IC660EBA025 electronic assembly is compatible with a wide range of bus controllers, and it requires a handheld monitor like the IC66HHM501G monitor version 4.0 or later for configuration. The IC660EBA025 electronic assembly can be replaced without removing the wiring on the block and it comes with an open-type design that supports a protective enclosure.

About IC660EBA025

The IC660EBA025 electronic assembly is an electronic assembly that is meant to operate with an analog output block that has been manufactured and designed by GE Fanuc Automation. This electronic assembly can be used with blocks that operate with a voltage of 24 to 48 Volts DC. This assembly includes all the electronic parts that the block requires to operate properly. This assembly also includes overload protection and electronic fusing. Blocks from this series can shut circuits down within 5 microseconds after detecting the fault, and this is more effective than using thermal fuses. The GE Fanuc Automation IC660EBA025 electronic assembly comes with 6 current source options and it also comes with 2 LEDs that indicate the status of the unit and the I/O that have been enabled. The BSM control that comes with the output block is a 24/48 Volts DC BSM and it has a block to block isolation rating of 1500 Volts for 1 minute.

The GE Fanuc Automation IC660EBA025 electronic assembly operates with a power supply voltage of 18 to 56 Volts DC, a maximum current of 600 milliamps, and a ripple of 10 percent maximum. The output signal characteristics of the GE Fanuc Automation IC660EBA025 electronic assembly include an accuracy rating of 0.15 percent at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and an update frequency of 25 milliseconds. The block also comes with diagnostic tools that check for underrange, overrange, and feedback errors. This assembly operates at a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity level of 5 to 95 percent, non-condensing. These temperature and humidity conditions need to be met, otherwise the consistent operation of the block cannot be guaranteed.
