The IC660EBA024 is an electronic component assembly that is part of a four (4) channel, two (2) output combination analog I/O module, formerly provided by GE Fanuc Automation and now by Emerson Automation. This component belongs to the Genius I/O block family and requires the use of other components to form a functional analog module, specifically, the IC660TBA024 terminal block and the IC660BBA024, 24/48 VDC combined analog input and output blocks. The IC660EBA024 hosts various electronic circuits, such as analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with 16-bit resolution for analog input channels; 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for analog output channels; Internal current controller, current sensor, input filter, isolation circuit and internal signal amplifier. These circuits provide modular functions and signal conditioning. A pair of additional ADC circuits are also included to check the output channel after the programmable filter. The circuit will sense the fault situation and alert the module if the feedback from the channel pair does not match the 250 μA value of the command. The IC660EBA024 is also responsible for connecting the module to the backplane. The IC660EBA024 is used for off-line installation, as modules are not allowed to be assembled when the device is actively powered. In addition, with the modular components of the module, maintenance and troubleshooting, including component replacement, are made easier as there is no need to remove wire connections and components are easily clipped and fastened to each other. In this way, downtime is reduced and troubleshooting time is shortened.
The GE Fanuc IC660EBA024 Genius I/O block is an electronic component assembly of the Genius I/O current source analog I/O block. The current source analog I/O module provides an interface between the controller and the field device to send or receive analog signals rated from 4 mA to 20 mA. The IC660EBA024 Electronics assembly has four isolated 4 to 20 MA rated current source inputs, each with a 24 volt rated current loop power supply, and two outputs to control two of the 4 to 24 Ma rated current loops. The IC660EBA024 Electronics Assembly operates in a voltage range of 18 V DC to 56 V DC, with an operating current of 600 mA and a maximum power rating of 12.0 watts. The IC660EBA024 Electronics Assembly input has intergroup isolation up to 1500 volts, and the output channel and bus Switch module (BSM) common end are isolated from the input. The IC660EBA024 Electronics Assembly has an input resolution of 1μA and an accuracy of 0.1% of a full-scale reading at 25 degrees Celsius. Each input channel has a signal range of 4 to 24 mA, with an overrange value of 0 to 25 mA. It has a user selectable input conversion time (16.6 to 400 ms) and an input impedance of 100 ohms. The IC660EBA024 Electronics Assembly has 2 output channels with a resolution of 6.0 microamps and a full-scale reading output accuracy of 0.15% at 25 degrees Celsius. Each output channel has a signal range of 4 to 24 mA with an adjustable update time of 6 to 8 ms. The IC660EBA024 Electronics Assembly is software-configurable and provides advanced diagnostic capabilities, including open circuit detection, low - and high-input alarm detection, range/below range detection, feedback error detection, and internal fault reporting diagnostics.
