Product Description
IC660BBA026 General Electric 24/48VDC 6-Channel Current Source Analog Input Block for Process Instrumentation
Engineered specifically for highly accurate, distributed field telemetry, the General Electric Genius IC660BBA026 features a 6-channel current source analog input matrix operating on a flexible 24/48 VDC power rail. Unlike standard centralized PLC input cards, this rugged, smart block acts as an isolated, intelligent field node that converts analog signals directly at the point of measurement, completely eliminating long-distance EMI noise and signal attenuation in complex process loops. This makes it the ideal distributed I/O solution for chemical processing plants, water treatment facilities, and legacy DCS migrations requiring maximum reliability across harsh industrial instrumentation fields.
Technical Specification
Specification Item Technical Data Practical Value for Buyers
Product Model IC660BBA026 Dedicated smart input block for high-accuracy industrial process loops.
Manufacturer General Electric (GE) / Fanuc Industrial legacy brand known for extreme long-term field survivability and robustness.
Input Channels 6 Differential Analog Channels Core Value Fully isolated differential loops prevent cross-channel interference. A catastrophic ground fault on one sensor line will not damage or disrupt the remaining 5 channels.
Signal Ranges 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA, and ±20 mA Universally compatible with standard process transmitters (flow, pressure, temperature, and level).
Operating Voltage 24 / 48 VDC Nominal (18-56 VDC Range) Core Value Ultra-wide DC voltage input tolerance accommodates battery backup drop-offs and long-distance voltage drops without triggering node failure.
Resolution 12-bit Binary plus Sign Offers crisp, high-granularity data conversion (over 4,000 steps) for stable PID loop tuning and precise tracking.
Onboard Powering Integrated Current Source Loop Power Core Value The block provides passive power directly to 2-wire loops, completely saving the cost, space, and wiring complexity of external field power supplies.
Network Interface Genius I/O Bus (Fsk Twist-Pair) Highly robust, noise-immune peer-to-peer field network capable of long-distance communication runs up to 2,200 meters.
Diagnostics Open wire, Over-range, Underrange, Calibration Instantly reports physical wire breaks and field device health to the PLC, drastically shortening maintenance response times.
Isolation Rating 1500 V AC (Channel-to-Bus / Frame) Rugged electrical barrier that protects expensive central PLC processors from high-voltage field spikes.
Engineer's Note (Expert Insight)
"When deploying the IC660BBA026, keep in mind that its onboarding diagnostics are heavily dependent on correct channel configuration during initial block setup. If you are using a standard 4-20 mA sensor, make sure the low-alarm threshold is not set to absolute zero; otherwise, the block cannot differentiate between a legitimate 4 mA process floor and a severed field wire (0 mA). Additionally, when using this block on a legacy Genius network migration, ensure the handheld monitor (IC660HHM501) or configuration software matches the internal baud rate of your active bus controllers to prevent token-passing errors on the network."
Custom Product FAQ
Q: Does the IC660BBA026 require an external power supply to drive 2-wire 4-20 mA field transmitters?
A: No. One of the primary advantages of this specific block is its integrated current-sourcing capability. It provides the required loop voltage directly through its field terminals to power your passive 2-wire instruments, eliminating the need for independent field power distribution panels.
Q: How do I configure or calibrate the input channels on this block since it does not have physical DIP switches?
A: Configuration and software calibration are entirely digital. You can configure parameters using a GE Genius Handheld Monitor (HHM) plugged directly into the block's front port, or send configuration blocks down the network wire directly from your GE Fanuc 90-30, 90-70, or PACSystems RX3i controller.
Q: Can this block handle bipolar current signals, such as -20 mA to +20 mA?
A: Yes. The IC660BBA026 supports multiple user-selectable software configurations per channel. It can be set up to process standard unipolar signals (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA) as well as bipolar signals (±20 mA), which are useful for specialized bi-directional flow meters or actuator position feedback loops.
