IC660EBA100

The IC660EBA100 module is a GE Fanuc Input / Output module with 4 inputs and 2 outputs. It comes with 2 block versions. We have a 115 VAC input/output block and a 24/48 VDC voltage / current block. Each circuit on the 4 input / 2 Output Analog Block, can deliver signals in the following analog ranges:

-10V DC to +10V DC

-5V DC to +5V DC

0-5 V DC

0 -10 V DC

4-20 mA/1-5 volts DC

Due to this flexibility in the above signal ranges, the module blocks can be used in wide arrays of both output and input devices.

You’ll notice LED indicators on the block for indicating how the block is running. If a block develops a fault, the OK LED blinks to give a sign of an existing fault. For certain faults, the block takes preemptive measures by cutting off the module’s output to avert hazardous incidences that could lead to further damage. This input / output module is mountable in any position. For ample heat dissipation, vertical mounting is preferred.

It is recommended that about 1.5 inches are left open between the blocks and 3 inches above and below each block. This facilitates easier removal of the block’s electronics component and provides more space for wiring especially where wires are bundled together.

If mounted in an enclosed area, it’s crucial to leave adequate space for cooling. Remember, overheating is potentially harmful to electronic components. Connections to the I/O blocks are made using Belden 9182 cables. For configuration, a hand-held monitor is attached to the block and powered on.  This is followed by a series of configuration prompts. Finally, a device number is assigned to the I/O block to start configuration.

During field wiring, the I/O block is operated using a standard screwdriver for fastening and unfastening the screws. Each terminal can accommodate one AWG #12 or two AWG #14 wires. The minimum wire size that is recommended is AWG #22. Take note that unshielded wire ends do not exceed 2 inches.
