The IC660BBD024 is a 12/24 Volt DC 32-Circuit Source Block that is manufactured by GE Fanuc Emerson. It is designed to be an intelligent and configurable module to interface the controller to devices that provide and accept a binary signal. The IC660BBD024 operates at a nominal 12 to 24 Volts DC; it is compatible with a wide range of input devices, including both 2-wire and 3-wire electronic proximity switches. Features for the IC660BBD024 include thirty-two configurable I/O circuits, with the inputs and outputs able to be mixed on block, resettable self-protecting circuits, software configurability, and advanced diagnostics. General specifications for the IC660BBD024 include a size of 8.83 x 3.58 x 4.7 inches, or 22.43 x 9.1 x 11.94 centimeters, a weight of 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms), and LED indicators for Unit OK and I/O Enabled. This hardware has a block to block isolation of 850 Volts and a heat dissipation of 11 Watts minimum with 8 inputs and 18 Watts maximum with 32 outputs at .5 Amperes.

Additional specifications include a maximum ripple of 10% at 12/24 Volts and 1% at 5 Volts, a required DC power of 150 milliamperes typical and 300 milliamperes maximum, and a power supply dropout time of 4 milliseconds at 12 Volts and 20 milliseconds at 24 Volts. Input specifications include a typical input impedance of 3.3K Ohms and a typical input processing time of 1.4 milliseconds. Output specifications for the IC660BBD024 include a maximum output current (steady state) of 0.5 Amperes per circuit and a maximum inrush current of 4 Amperes up to 10 milliseconds (once every .5 seconds maximum). Environmental specifications include an operating temperature range between 0 and 60 degrees Celsius and a storage temperature range between -40 and 100 degrees Celsius; humidity is 5% to 95% (non-condensing). This IC660BBD024 Block has a vibration of 5-10 Hertz 0.2” (5.08 millimeters) displacement, 10-200 Hertz at 1G.

The intelligent Block I/O module IC660BBD024 is a GE Fanuc intelligent Block I/O module. This Module is a high-density 32-point Discrete I/O block featuring individually programmable input, output, and output with feedback channels. This component has source wiring, self-protecting circuitry that may be reset, and sophisticated diagnostics.
 One of the IC660BBD024 input's properties is compatibility with 12/24VDC as ON-state signal values. The On-state range for 12VDC is 8-12VDC, whereas the 24VDC On-state range is 18-24VDC. It has a 3.3 K Ohm input impedance and 1.4 milliseconds input processing time, which is influenced by the signal filtering settings, which include a wide series of 1-5 milliseconds, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 milliseconds. When set as an output, each channel can produce 0.5 amps with a 0.5 milliseconds turn-on delay and can resist a peak inrush current of 4 amps for 10 milliseconds, which may be cycled once every.5 seconds. This I/O block can handle up to 16 Amps. At 4 Amps inrush, each specified output channel has a maximum voltage drop of 2.0 volts and is capable of identifying switch faults.
 For communication with a paired device that is equipped with the Genius Bus protocol, the IC660BBD024 supports it. Bus controllers such as the IC66*CBB902 or CBB903 in any variety, or the IC66*CBB900 or CBB901 in   1.3 or later can be utilized. It may also be set up with the help of the IC66*HHM501 Hand-Held Monitor. The IC66*BSM021 Bus Switching Module (BSM) is compatible with the IC660BBD024 block I/O. Also compatible with the IC660BBD024 I/O block are 2-wire and 3-wire proximity switches, as well as relays, contactors, and lights. The front panel's 32 identical I/O points may be readily customized. When a connection is formed with the contact, a matching LED indication is adjacent to the contact lights.
 The GE Fanuc IC660BBD024 I/O block has an 850 V block-to-block isolation rating. For 12 to 24 Volts, it has a maximum ripple of 10%, and for 5 Volts, it has a maximum ripple of 1%. At 12 Volts, the IC660BBD024 I/O block has an electricity dropout of 4 milliseconds, while at 24 Volts, it has a dropout of 20 milliseconds. Proper handling of the block should be assured during installation. Because the block has an open casing, it must be maintained in a clean environment free of airborne pollutants. This Module might be placed both horizontally or vertically, with at least 2 inches between consecutive pieces. The IC660BBD024 I/O block's working temperature range varies between 0 and 60 degrees Celsius, with a maximum humidity level of 95 percentages non-condensing humidity.
