GE IC660BBA100 Voltage/Current 4 Input/2 Output Analog Blocks

GE IC660BBA100 Voltage/Current 4 Input/2 Output Analog Blocks

INTRODUCTION

Voltage/Current 4 Input/2 Output Analog Blocks have four independent input circuits and two independent output circuits. Two block versions are available: 

115 VAC Voltage/Current Analog I/O Block (IC66*BBA100) 

24/48 VDC Voltage/Current Analog I/O Block (IC66*BBA020)

BENEFITS

Each circuit on an 4 Input/2 Output Analog Block can accept or provide signals in one of five analog ranges: 

0-10 volts DC 

-10 volts DC to +10 volts DC 

-5 volts DC to +5 volts DC 

0-5 volts DC 

4-20 mA/1-5 volts DC

This flexibility allows these blocks to be used with a wide variety of analog input and output devices. The block’s internal power supply drives current mode output loads up to 300 Ohms each. For loads up to 2K Ohms, an external 24 or 48 VDC power supply can be used.

Configurable block features include: 

Independent scaling for each input and output. 

Fault reports to the host can be enabled or disabled for each input and output. 

Selectable Input Filter Time up to 1024ms. 

Each input can operate in normal analog input mode, or report only its alarm status. 

Low and high alarm limits for each input, in either normal input mode or alarm input mode. 

Powerup default values for each output. 

Each output can be configured to hold last state or default if CPU communications are lost. 

Input Low Alarm and High Alarm detection. 

Open Wire detection on current mode inputs. 

Input Underrange or Overrange. 

Output Underrange or Overrange.

Compatibility

These blocks are backward-compatible with earlier versions, and may be used to replace them. Any Hand-held Monitor (IC66*HHM500 or HHM501) can be used with these blocks. However, Hand-held Monitor model IC66*HHM501 is required to change baud rate configuration, or to configure redundancy features. Note that older HHM model IC66*HHM501 version 3.5 may incorrectly display the message WIRING ERROR during normal operation. Upgrading the HHM to a later version corrects this problem.

For an IC697 series PLC, the CPU and programming software must be version 2.0 or later. The bus controller must be IC697BEM731C or later. For an IC600 series PLC, the CPU must be rev. 105 or later. For an IC600 series “Plus” PLC rev. 110 or later is required. The programming software must be rel. 4.02 or later. For an IC550 series PLC, the CPU must be rev. 3.0 or later. The programming software must be rel. 2.01 or later. Current-source analog blocks are preferred for current-loop applications. Please request information about:
