Flexible I/O configuration: This module features 16 I/O circuits, each of which can be flexibly configured as input, three-state input or output, meeting the demands of various industrial control scenarios. It supports source wiring configuration, can accept 24VDC input signals and provide 24VDC/48VDC signals, is compatible with three-wire sensors, electromechanical relays and other signal devices, and has wide applicability.

Efficient data communication Supports the Genius communication protocol and enables data exchange through Genius I/O bus terminals, allowing communication between GE programmable logic and automation controllers (PLC/PAC), bus controllers, PC interface modules, human-machine interfaces (HMI), and third-party devices. Realize the distributed control and data interaction of the system.

Convenient configuration method: The module operation can be locally configured through the HHM port installed on the top of the terminal component using the handheld monitor (HHM), or remotely configured using the programming software of the main controller, making it convenient for operators to set parameters according to actual needs.

Fast signal processing: The input channel accepts a nominal voltage of 12/24VDC and has a startup delay of 1.7ms, enabling a rapid response to external signal changes. Each circuit of the output channel can generate 2 amperes of current, with a maximum connection delay of 1 millisecond, which can drive external devices in a timely manner and meet the requirements of real-time control.

Reliable diagnostic function: Equipped with complete diagnostic functions and safety measures, it can detect errors such as overload, overheating, short circuit, no-load and switch faults, and easily remind operators to pay attention to operating time and operational errors through relevant indicator lights or alarm mechanisms, facilitating maintenance and troubleshooting.

Compact structural design: The module dimensions are 8.83 inches in height, 4.42 inches in depth, and 3.56 inches in width. It is small in size and can save panel space. It is an independent panel-mounted device with an open housing that needs to be installed inside the housing to protect against industrial contaminants. It can be remotely installed, with a maximum distance of 7,500 feet from partner equipment. It also allows for the connection of other I/O modules to form a Genius I/O network, offering flexible layout.

Electrical parameters: The working voltage is 18-30VDC, the input channel accepts a nominal voltage of 12/24VDC, and it has a startup delay of 1.7ms. Each circuit of the output channel can generate a current of 2 amperes, and the maximum on-off delay is 1 millisecond.

Application case

Application in turbine control systems: The GE General Electric Mark VI Speedtronic turbine control system is the current control system of GE turbines, which is applicable to the generator and mechanical drive applications of gas turbines and steam turbines. The IC660BBD022 module can play a role in it to realize the monitoring of relevant parameters of the turbine and the transmission of control signals. Assist the system in completing protection and monitoring functions.

Application in liquid level monitoring of water treatment systems: Air Products, an industrial gas and specialty chemicals manufacturer, has adopted GE's wireless remote monitoring solution in its factory located in Calvert, Kentucky. In this scheme, the submersible liquid level probe sensor of GE is utilized to collect the liquid level data of the storage tank. The data is sent to Trinity Gateway through wireless MDS technology, and then the gateway sends the data to the secure managed server managed by the GE Fanuc intelligent platform. During this process, the IC660BBD022 module can be used as a distributed I/O module to connect sensors, communication gateways and other devices, achieving signal collection and transmission, helping enterprises remotely monitor the liquid level of chemical tanks and improve operational efficiency.

Application in thermal power plants: The IC660BBD022 module can be used in thermal power plant equipment, such as in the steam-water system, combustion system and other related control links of thermal power plants, to monitor parameters such as temperature, pressure and flow rate, as well as control actuators such as valve opening and closing and motor start and stop. With its flexible I/O configuration, it can be adapted to various types of sensors and actuators, ensuring the stable operation of each system in thermal power plants.
