Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• How many total I/O points does this module provide?
  It provides a total of 32 points: 16 discrete inputs and 16 discrete outputs in one compact block.
• What is the output current capability?
  Each output can supply 2A continuously, with a high inrush capability for driving inductive loads like solenoid valves.
• What voltage does it require?
  It operates from a wide-range 18-56 VDC power source, suitable for both 24V and 48V DC systems.
• What diagnostic features are included?
  It includes extensive diagnostics for both inputs (open wire) and outputs (short circuit, overload, no-load).
• Can I configure channels differently?
  Yes, each of the 32 channels can be individually configured as an input, tristate input, or an output.
• Is this part compatible with my GE PLC?
  The IC660EBD020 is compatible with Genius-compatible systems, including those using GE Series PLCs with appropriate interfaces.
