Product Introduction

The IC660BBD022 is a terminal block designed for the GE Genius I/O system. It serves as the physical interface between the field wiring and the electronic components, simplifying installation and maintenance by providing a centralized connection point. This component bridges the gap between the physical sensors/actuators and the electronic processing modules.Engineered for robust industrial environments, the IC660BBD022 is built to withstand typical industrial conditions such as humidity, shock, and vibration. It features a durable design and is compatible with specific electronic components (IC660EBD020) to ensure seamless system integration. The terminal block handles the physical termination of wires and the internal power distribution to the I/O circuits.

Installation & Configuration Guide

Phase 1: Preparation (10 min)

  1. Safety First: Disconnect all power to the control panel. Follow Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures to prevent accidental startup.
  2. Verify Compatibility: Confirm that the IC660BBD022 is compatible with your existing electronic component (IC660EBD020) and chassis.
  3. Gather Tools: You will need a Phillips screwdriver and possibly a multimeter to verify voltage levels.

Phase 2: Removal (5–10 min)

  1. Mark Wires: Before disconnecting anything, label all field wires connected to the terminal block for easy reconnection.
  2. Disconnect Power: Unplug the 24V DC power supply cable from the terminal block.
  3. Remove Screws: Loosen and remove the screws securing the terminal block to the DIN rail or mounting panel.
  4. Extract: Carefully pull the terminal block away from the mounting surface.

Phase 3: Installation (10 min)

  1. Mounting: Align the IC660BBD022 with the DIN rail or panel mounting holes. Slide it into place until it clicks or secure it with screws.
  2. Reconnect Power: Plug the 24V DC power supply back into the terminal block.
  3. Wire Reconnection: Connect the field wires to the appropriate terminals. Ensure wires are securely fastened under the screw heads.
  4. Check Configuration: Verify that the voltage select jumpers (if present) are set to the correct position for your application (24VDC or 48VDC).

Phase 4: Power-On & Test (10 min)

  1. Visual Inspection: Look for any loose wires or obvious damage.
  2. Power Up: Restore power to the control panel.
  3. LED Check: Observe the status LEDs on the terminal block and connected I/O modules. A steady green LED typically indicates normal operation.
  4. Function Test: Cycle the inputs and outputs to verify that signals are being processed correctly through the terminal block.

 

Troubleshooting Quick Reference

 

Symptom Probable Cause Corrective Action
No Power to I/O Modules Loose Power Connection Reconnect and tighten the 24V DC power cable.
Intermittent Signal Loss Loose Field Wiring Inspect and retighten all terminal screws on the IC660BBD022.
Output Fault Overcurrent Condition Check the total load on the 32A output (16 circuits × 2A). Reduce the number of active outputs if necessary.
Input Noise Electrical Interference Ensure proper grounding and shielded cables are used for field wiring.
Communication Error Improper Configuration Verify the voltage select jumpers and ensure the terminal block is properly seated.

FAQ

What is the difference between IC660BBD022 and IC660BBD020?
The primary difference is the output type. The IC660BBD022 is a source output module (provides power to field devices), while the IC660BBD020 is a sink (or “common”) module (receives power from field devices). They are typically used in pairs to provide complete I/O functionality.Can I use this with a VersaMax CPU?
No. The IC660BBD022 is specifically designed for the GE Genius I/O system. It is not compatible with the VersaMax platform. You must use the appropriate terminal blocks designed for the VersaMax system (e.g., IC698BBD025).What voltage should I set the terminal block to?
The IC660BBD022 is designed to operate at 24V DC or 48V DC. The specific voltage depends on your system requirements. You must configure the internal jumpers or switches to match the voltage of your I/O modules and power supply.Is this a new or used part?
This is typically listed as “New Surplus” or “Refurbished.” New surplus parts are unused units from the original manufacturer’s inventory, while refurbished parts have been tested and verified to function correctly.What is the purpose of the “BBD” in the model number?
In GE Fanuc terminology, “BBD” typically stands for “Block” or “Base.” It identifies the part as the physical housing and wiring interface component used in the automation system.
