PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC660BBD022 is a Genius I/O 24 V DC Source I/O Block. It operates as a stand-alone, single-node distributed station within the Genius I/O system. The unit provides sixteen discrete circuits that support sourcing field wiring connections. Each individual circuit operates on 24 VDC nominal power and accommodates either input or output configuration. The device interfaces directly with host controllers over the shielded twisted-pair Genius communication bus.
This open-type industrial block mounts on panels and requires a protective industrial enclosure. The hardware contains a terminal assembly and a plug-in electronics assembly. Diagnostic circuits actively detect overload, overtemperature, open wire, no-load, and failed switch events. Operators can perform local configuration and diagnostics via a Hand-Held Monitor connected to the terminal port. Remote configuration is also supported through host controller programming software.
