I/O modules

This I/O block provides 16 source outputs for GE Genius I/O systems. It drives actuators directly from the fieldbus network without a local CPU. Therefore, this component suits distributed control applications in harsh industrial environments.

Physical Dimensions and Weight Specifications

The GE IC660BBD022 features a rugged epoxy-encapsulated housing for waterproofing. Its width measures 170 mm for panel mounting. The total depth reaches 76 mm including the terminal covers. Consequently, technicians can install this block in washdown areas.

Interface Types and Connection Layout

The GE IC660BBD022 provides a 4-pin terminal block for Genius bus wiring. Separate terminals connect to 16 field devices for output control. The housing carries LED indicators for bus status and output activity. Hence, operators can monitor network health at a quick glance.

Component Count and Channel Configuration

This I/O block contains one main board with 16 independent output channels. Each channel provides 0.5A sourcing current at 24V DC. You will also find short-circuit protection per channel. An onboard bus interface handles Genius protocol communication.

Energy Storage and Power Requirements

The GE IC660BBD022 requires 24V DC for both logic and outputs. An internal capacitor bank provides 10 ms of ride-through during power dips. This storage prevents output dropout from brief voltage sags. The block does not require a backup battery.

Environmental Ratings and Installation

The unit carries an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance. It operates in temperatures from -20°C to 55°C. Users can mount this block directly on machines near sensors. This placement reduces cable runs and installation costs.
