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 IC660BBA104 is compatible with your existing ABB control system rack and backplane.
  3. Gather Tools: You will need a Phillips screwdriver and 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 module for easy reconnection.
  2. Disconnect Power: Unplug the 24V DC power supply cable from the module.
  3. Remove Screws: Loosen and remove the screws securing the module to the DIN rail or mounting panel.
  4. Extract: Carefully pull the module away from the mounting surface.

Phase 3: Installation (10 min)

  1. Mounting: Align the IC660BBA104 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 module.
  3. Wire Reconnection: Connect the analog output wires to the appropriate terminals. Ensure wires are securely fastened under the screw heads.
  4. Check Configuration: Verify any configuration switches or jumpers are set according to the system requirements for current output.

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 module. A steady green LED typically indicates normal operation.
  4. Function Test: Use a multimeter to measure the analog current output. Verify that the signal matches the expected value from the control system.

FAQ

What is the difference between IC660BBA104 and IC660BBA101?
The primary difference lies in their specific function and output characteristics. The IC660BBA104 is an analog current source module. You must verify the specific output range and compatibility with your system controller.Can I use this with a GE VersaMax CPU?
No. The IC660BBA104 is an ABB component designed for ABB control systems. While the “IC660” prefix was historically used by GE Fanuc for their Genius I/O line, this specific model is identified as an ABB product. It is not compatible with the GE VersaMax platform.What voltage does this module require?
The IC660BBA104 operates on 24V DC for both its input power and output signal generation. Ensure your power supply can provide stable 24V DC to the module.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 this module?
The IC660BBA104 acts as an analog current source. It takes a control signal and converts it into a precise electrical current to drive field devices like control valves or actuators that operate on a current loop (e.g., 4-20mA).
