Design and Connectivity

This block uses a single removable terminal strip for all six outputs. You can wire the module without disconnecting field devices. Each output channel includes its own status LED for quick troubleshooting.

Performance Highlights

The GE IC660BBA106 delivers a 12-bit resolution for smooth analog control. Its accuracy remains within ±0.1% under normal operating conditions. Moreover, the module updates each channel every 10 milliseconds. This fast response suits motion control or pressure regulation applications.

Installation and Power

You mount this block on a standard Genius I/O bus. The unit draws only 150 mA from a 24 VDC supply. For best results, use shielded twisted-pair cables for each analog output. Additionally, keep field wiring separate from high-voltage AC lines.

Energy Storage and Protection

Each output channel includes a 220 µF capacitor for momentary hold-up. This design prevents signal glitches during brief power dips. The module also features short-circuit protection on every analog output.

Why Choose This Module

This block replaces older analog output modules in existing Genius networks. It simplifies maintenance through its hot-swappable design. Consequently, you reduce downtime during replacements or system upgrades.
