GE IC600YB908B | Series Six Output Module 24V DC 16 Channels

The IC600YB908B controls DC loads from the Series Six PLC system. This output module provides sixteen independent channels for field actuation. It mounts directly into any standard Series Six rack slot. Consequently, you can drive solenoids, relays, and indicator lights reliably.

You can rely on this module for fast and silent output switching. The IC600YB908B uses solid-state transistor technology for each channel. Each output includes built-in short-circuit and overload protection circuits. Therefore, this module safeguards your PLC from unexpected field wiring faults.

Output Specifications and Channel Details

The module delivers 0.5 amps per channel at 24V DC nominal. Each output on the IC600YB908B switches independently without channel interaction. A common return terminal serves all sixteen outputs for simplified wiring. The module responds to logic commands within 0.5 milliseconds typically.

Outputs feature automatic thermal shutdown during excessive current draw. The IC600YB908B recovers operation when the temperature returns to normal. An LED indicator on the front panel shows each channel’s active state. Below is a complete breakdown of its technical characteristics.

Interface and Field Wiring Connections

A removable terminal block accepts all output field wiring. The IC600YB908B uses screw-clamp terminals for secure wire retention. Each terminal accepts wire sizes from 0.5 to 2.5 mm². The module connects to the Series Six backplane via a standard edge connector.

You must supply external 24V DC power to the common terminal. The IC600YB908B does not generate output power from the backplane alone. A built-in fuse protects the entire output group from major faults. Therefore, installation requires proper attention to external power connections.

Operational Benefits for Legacy Systems

This output module replaces original Series Six components in older systems. The IC600YB908B maintains compatibility with existing 24V DC field wiring. Its fast response time works perfectly for high-speed machine applications. Engineers trust this module for maintaining legacy GE automation systems reliably.
